During its Tuesday meeting, the Sugar Land City Council gave final approval to an ordinance granting a conditional use permit for the development of a 214-room Hyatt hotel in the Lake Pointe development.

The hotel will be built on a site on the southeast side of Creek Bend Drive, just to the south of the Fluor office complex. The site is also near the planned Remington Resort rehabilitation hospital and a seven story office building being developed by Prisma Properties.

The project is a joint effort between Planned Community Developers, Hyatt and Woodbine Development. Planned Community Developers is the developer of Lake Pointe.

“The applicants have indicated that the project will be a full-service hotel with a wide range of amenities and of a design which will feature rooms accessed only by an interior hallway,” City Planner Harold Ellis told the council prior to an earlier public hearing on the permit application.

He added the hotel will also have a restaurant and lounge area, coffee and wine bar, fitness rooms, business center, rooms with plasma televisions, complimentary Wi-Fi Internet access and meeting room space of approximately 4,000-6,000 square feet.

The council approved the permit on its first reading following the Oct. 7 public hearing. No residents spoke during the hearing.

The hotel will take 14 – 16 months to complete.
