Cambria grows Texas footprint

Cambria Hotels, an upscale brand franchised by Choice Hotels International Inc., continues to expand its accommodations across the Lone Star State with the opening of the Cambria Hotel Austin Uptown Near the Domain. The five-story, 135-room hotel is the second of three planned Cambria properties to open in the Texas capital, joining the Cambria Hotel Austin Airport and the future Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown. The brand also boasts locations in the Texas cities of Dallas, Houston, McAllen, Plano, Richardson and Southlake.

The new Cambria is positioned in the high-tech corridor of northwest Austin, providing guests with access to the regional offices of Apple, Amazon, Google, Facebook and Dell. The property is also near several local attractions, including the upscale Domain Shopping Mall, Rock Rose Entertainment District, Circuit of the Americas and the University of Texas at Austin.

“Austin continually ranks as one of the nation’s fastest-growing cities, and for good reason. From Silicon Hills to a world-class arts and music scene, there’s no shortage of opportunity for modern travelers and professionals—or the Cambria brand—in the Texas capital,” said Janis Cannon, SVP, upscale brands, Choice Hotels. “As Austin’s skyline continues to evolve, we could not be prouder to make our mark on the city in Austin’s second downtown with another fantastic property, uniquely designed to connect business and leisure travelers alike to the creative hallmarks and one-of-a-kind experiences the Lone Star State capital is celebrated for.”

The property features upscale amenities such as multi-purpose indoor and outdoor spaces, including a seasonal outdoor pool and sundeck; on-site dining at the Uptown Lounge, Kitchen & Cocktails; more than 5,500 sq. ft. of multi-function meeting and event spaces; and a fitness center.

The newest Cambria was developed by MoPac Hotel Development, a Texas-based hotel builder and operator.
