The much-anticipated hotel at Hemisfair has officially been unveiled and is headed to review by the Historic and Design Review Commission.

Planned for the site at 222 S. Alamo St. is a 17-story, 200-room boutique hotel overlooking the ongoing Civic Park development.

According to the submitted plans, Hemisfair Hotel (the name is not final) will not only provide lodging but also host a space for a park-facing restaurant + five retail spaces on the ground floor.
