BOUTIQUE HOTELS COMING TO WASHINGTON AVE. AND LOWER WESTHEIMER? They’re not saying much, but two separate potential developers have targeted Inner Loop sites. No “immediate plans,” of course: “Liz Lambert, the businesswoman behind the hip Hotel San José in Austin, has a site on lower Westheimer earmarked for a possible hotel. . . . Sergio Ortiz, owner of Houston-based Orion Hotels Inc., is working on the development of a boutique hotel on Washington Avenue, one of the hottest emerging strips in the Bayou City.” [Houston Business Journal]
Hotel San Jose is very cool. that might mean another Lake/Flato project in Houston.
lambert was also quoted in last month’s Houston magazine as being in the conceptual stage on another boutique hotel in midtown – part of the property that the Continental Club purchased adjacent to their’s i believe.
