Add one more hotel to the more than 2,000 currently in the planning stages around the U.S.
The Gilbert Planning Commission/Design Review Board will hear a proposal this week from developer KWB Hotels to build a new five-story, 109-room Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites hotel on 1.7 acres at the SEC of Market Street and Val Vista Drive. Zoning for the site is Regional Commercial with a Planned Area Development overlay.
According to the Town staff report, the development will be “a single amenitized hotel building with an outdoor seating area/lounge. The proposed hotel building on the subject site will face east toward an existing hotel building (Home2 Suites). The subject site will share pedestrian and vehicle access with both the neighborhood hotel uses and a pair of pad sites to the west of the subject site.”
The conceptual plan calls for nine rooms on the first floor and 25 rooms on each of the remaining four floors. Planned amenities include a fitness center and a lobby market.
