Construction is officially underway on the AC Hotel by Marriott CityCentre Houston, a six-story, 153-room property rising at 10752 Town and Country Way in West Houston. Anchor Construction has been named general contractor for the project, developed by PA Hospitality.
The new hotel will slot into CityCentre's established ecosystem of office, retail, dining, and entertainment tenants — a layout that positions the property to drive consistent foot traffic to neighboring food and beverage outlets. For restaurateurs and bar operators already operating within the mixed-use development, a branded Marriott flag adds a reliable pipeline of business travelers and weekend guests who skew toward on-property and nearby dining.
AC Hotels by Marriott carries a defined food and beverage identity across its portfolio, typically featuring a European-inspired bar program and curated lobby café service. The brand's emphasis on social spaces — the AC Bar in particular has become a signature feature at locations nationwide — means the Houston property will likely compete directly with independent concepts nearby while also generating spillover demand during peak hours and events. Operators tracking emerging hospitality development in Texas should watch CityCentre closely as the project progresses.
CityCentre, developed by Midway, has long served as one of Houston's more successful live-work-play districts, drawing a mix of corporate tenants and affluent west-side residents. Adding a nationally recognized hotel brand reinforces the district's draw and could accelerate leasing activity for remaining retail and dining pads. The dynamic mirrors trends seen across mixed-use restaurant and hospitality projects in Sun Belt metros, where hotel anchors consistently lift adjacent food and beverage sales volumes.
Anchor Construction, a Houston-based general contractor active across the region's commercial and hospitality sectors, is leading the build. No opening timeline was specified in the groundbreaking announcement.
