Construction of the new TownePlace Suites hotel in Burnet is on track, eyeing an opening day in the latter half of 2026.
The planned four-story TownePlace Suites will be located near the Burnet Municipal Airport and Burnet Police Department, at 1750 Cary Johnson Parkway off of U.S. 281.
The project was first introduced to the city in 2023 when developers TEKMAK Development and ARK Hospitality and Development bought 2.76 acres of land from the Burnet Economic Development Corporation for $436,000. City Manager David Vaughn told DailyTrib that the hotel is expected to open before the end of 2026.
TownePlace Suites is a Marriott Bonvoy brand that focuses on accommodating extended stays through amenities like a full in-room kitchen.
