LEEDS–Jackson Hospitality Services, a Birmingham-based hotel development and management company, announced plans this month to build a new SpringHill Suites by Marriott hotel in Leeds.
The hotel, which is expected to be a $21 million investment, is planning to open in 2026 and will be located next to the existing Hampton Inn in Leeds located on Rex Lake Road.
“We are excited to bring the SpringHill Suites brand to the vibrant city of Leeds,” said Cory Jackson, President of Jackson Hospitality Services.
“This new hotel will offer guests a convenient and stylish option for their stay, whether they are visiting for business, leisure, or to explore the local attractions.”
The SpringHill Suites Leeds will feature 115 suites, each equipped with a microwave, refrigerator and free Wi-Fi.
The hotel will also offer a variety of amenities, including a complimentary breakfast buffet, a fitness center, on-site laundry facilities, and a cocktail lounge.
“The addition of the SpringHill Suites by Marriott is a significant development for the City of Leeds,” said Mayor David Miller.
“This new hotel will not only create jobs and boost our economy, but it will also provide much-needed lodging options for visitors and travelers. We are thrilled to welcome Jackson Hospitality Services to our community and look forward to the opening of this new hotel.”
“I’d like to thank the City of Leeds and the Mayor, in particular, for being so helpful in providing some incentives to make this project possible. Without the City’s help, we wouldn’t be able to build this $21 million investment and employ the people we’re going to employ. Plans are to break ground late this summer,” shared Jackson.
