San Antonio’s Far Westside is set for a new multimillion-dollar project, a sign that the area’s growth is just beginning. A new hotel will soon break ground in this popular part of town, according to Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) records. Details for the hospitality venue are coming to light after an architectural barriers report was filed on Friday, November 7.
The document outlines plans for a Holiday Inn Express, which will soon be built at 6530 W Historic Old Hwy. 90, roughly three minutes from the Lackland Air Force Base. Those living in or near the Cable Wetwood, Westwood Village, and Lackland Terrace neighborhoods may notice increased construction and traffic in the area once crews break ground at the site.
According to the project’s TDLR, folks can expect to see a four-story structure measuring at about 30,000 square feet. It will contain 71 rooms and become one of over 3,000 Holiday Inn Express properties worldwide. According to InterContinental Hotels Group, which oversees the brand, one of the defining traits of these hotels is that they offer free hot breakfast.
Investors are pouring approximately $3 million into the new build. The property owner for the upcoming hotel declined to comment, but online records provide a glimpse into its assembly timeline. Construction on the land is scheduled to start on Sunday, March 1, 2026, and end on Wednesday, September 1, 2027.
Currently, Google Maps Street View shows shrubs, trees, and grassy patches of land near the future lodging hub’s address. It’s located in a spot that provides relatively easy access to State Highway 151 and Interstate (Loop) 410. However, competition will surely arise as a Country Inn & Suites and a Rodeway Inn sit across from the upcoming hotel.

This development is the latest to hit the Alamo City’s Far Westside. Over the years, it’s become a breeding ground for data centers, residential communities, and even new schools. The region’s popularity has become so prolific, in fact, that locals have called on agencies to re-evaluate its road systems, citing traffic and safety concerns.
