Dripping Springs’ next hotel could be right around the corner and taller than expected.
By a 6-0 vote, the Dripping Springs City Council unanimously approved a height variance for the number of stories and total height for a potential new Marriott Courtyard hotel. Mayor Todd Purcell was not in attendance.
The potential Marriott Courtyard would sit between HEB and Home Depot. According to Sumay Parikh of DS Hospitality, LLC, the proposed hotel would hold 90 rooms and cater to the wedding industry.
A conference center would also be constructed and be open for local businesses to use, he said. A full bar and restaurant would be in the center.
“The whole idea of the courtyard is to have an organic concept where there are no walls,” Parikh said. “You can sit down in the lobby and get served there.”
