Exciting News for Columbia: A New Hotel is Coming to Town!

Columbia residents and visitors, get ready for more hospitality options! The city has officially given the green light for the construction of a brand-new hotel that promises to add even more convenience and comfort to our vibrant community. Say hello to a shiny new 124-room, extended-stay Marriott hotel located right next to the popular Columbiana Center mall, just off Interstate 26.

What’s the Scoop?

This fantastic project has been in the works for quite some time now. The city granted construction permits to the developers back in January, and after a whole year of proposals and planning, we finally see this dream coming together. The hotel will boast a four-story layout covering 13,500 square feet, all under the brand-new StudioRes label, which is super ideal for short-term stays and vacationers looking for a home away from home.

Where Exactly is It Going?

Located on a site that currently serves as a parking lot on Columbiana Circle, the hotel will be nestled conveniently between the bustling Columbiana Mall, I-26, the delicious McAlister’s Deli, and a Fairfield Inn. If you’re familiar with the area, you know that it’s already a hotspot for travelers and locals alike!

How Much is This Going to Cost?

The total value of this exciting project is estimated at a staggering $11.2 million. Additionally, the developers have been authorized to spend an extra $2.3 million on electrical and plumbing works to ensure everything is up to standard for future guests. Talk about an investment in our community!

More Stays, More Choices!

This upcoming hotel isn’t the only place to stay around here. It will join the ranks of existing accommodations, including Fairfield Inn, InTown Suites, MainStay Suites, and Tru by Hilton. With so many options, whether you’re visiting for business or leisure, you’ll have no trouble finding a place to rest your head after a busy day.

When Can We Expect It to Open?

As thrilling as this news is, the timeline for when the hotel will officially open its doors remains a bit of a mystery for now. But rest assured, once construction begins, we will keep an eye out to provide updates on the progress and any anticipated openings!

Who is Behind This Project?

While the Atlanta-based developers have yet to respond to inquiries about the project, it’s clear that this new hotel under the StudioRes brand is just the latest in a line of successful venues that have opened in places like Florida, Tennessee, and Washington State. It looks like Columbia is set to join that impressive list!

In Conclusion

The construction of this new Marriott StudioRes hotel is certainly a sign of growth and development for Columbia. With its prime location and promise of excellent service, it’s bound to attract travelers looking for a convenient and comfortable stay. So, let’s keep our fingers crossed for timely progress and stay tuned for updates as the new hotel starts to take shape!
