A convention center and boutique hotel are coming to downtown Roanoke<\/a> with construction scheduled to begin in September.<\/p>\n The work should be completed in 2028.<\/p>\n According to the Texas Department<\/a> of Licensing and Regulation, the convention center and hotel, with an estimated cost of almost $100 million, will be at 600 S. Oak St.<\/p>\n The five-story boutique hotel will feature 205 rooms, an outdoor pool, restaurant and garage. The hotel brand and official name haven\u2019t been finalized, said city spokesperson Sandra Pettigrew.<\/p>\n \u201cThe project continues to move forward, and we remain excited about the opportunities it will bring to Roanoke, including expanded tourism, meeting space, and economic development opportunities for the community.\u201d<\/p>\n In May 2025, voters approved<\/a> a $62 million bond package which will help fund the hotel and convention center project.<\/p>\n The hotel and convention center, on about 3.5 acres, will be about a block east of city Hall.<\/p>\n The famous Peabody Hotel was going to build on the site, but Roanoke scrapped the project because of delays from the developer.<\/p>\n
