News Summary
Clark County commissioners are considering plans for an 18-story hotel tower adjacent to SpringHill Suites on Paradise Road. This expansion, adding 397 rooms to the existing 299, aims to meet the increasing demand for accommodations, especially during major events at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The initiative follows Apple Hospitality REIT’s recent acquisition of the SpringHill Suites for $75 million. Previous plans for a second tower at this site were abandoned, but current circumstances suggest renewed interest in enhancing the Las Vegas hospitality sector.
Las Vegas – Clark County commissioners are reviewing plans for a new 18-story hotel tower set to be constructed next to the existing SpringHill Suites on Paradise Road. The proposed tower aims to address the growing demand for hotel accommodations by significantly increasing the room capacity of the site.
The new tower will be built on a surface parking area within the existing hotel’s 1.7-acre parcel. Currently, the SpringHill Suites houses 299 rooms, while the new tower is projected to add an additional 397 rooms. This expansion is expected to enhance the hotel’s ability to cater to visitors, particularly during high-traffic events at the nearby Las Vegas Convention Center.
The SpringHill Suites, which is only a short walk behind the Convention Center’s West Hall, was acquired by Apple Hospitality REIT, a Virginia-based hotel investment firm, for approximately $75 million in late 2023. Following this acquisition, the plans for the new tower are seen as a strategic step towards capitalizing on the ongoing developments in the Las Vegas hospitality market.
This isn’t the first time plans for a second tower at this location have been considered. In 2007, Clark County commissioners initially approved a two-tower hotel project. The first tower was completed in 2009, but the second tower was never constructed, and the plans ultimately expired after six extensions of time. The current proposal revives the long-standing idea of expanding hotel offerings in the area, responding to the persistent demand for lodging amidst shifts in the tourism landscape.
