A growing Central Texas suburb will soon be the home of a new, massive tourist destination. Cedar Park, a city in Williamson County about 20 miles north of Austin, is getting a $95 million Marriott Hotel and Convention Center.

The Cedar Park Marriott Hotel and Convention Center will be a new construction at 2155 Cedarview Drive, Cedar Park, TX 78613, according to a new Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing. This two-year project is set to anchor a larger mixed-used development called CedarView, poised to be a dynamic hub of commerce, leisure, and lifestyle offerings.

“The City of Cedar Park is excited to see the realization of a long-standing strategic goal-a full-service hotel and convention center that will serve our community and attract visitors,” Brenda Eivens, City Manager of Cedar Park, said in a news release. “Our partnership with NFM and Great Lakes Capital has been instrumental in bringing this impressive Marriott project to life, further establishing the CedarView development as a premier vibrant, regional destination for economic growth and tourism.”

Construction on the new hotel and convention center is slated to begin May 15 and is expected to end by February 2027. Cedar Park Marriott will be a 210,965-square-foot hotel with seven stories and 297 guest rooms connected to a 50,797-square-foot conference center, according to the TDLR.

There will also be a 120,445-square-foot, three-story parking garage connected to the hotel to fit 320 slots. The project’s entire construction site will cover 382,207 square feet.

Besides the hotel, Cedar Park is also growing with new projects set for the area including a potential Trader Joe’s, PopStroke (Tiger Woods-backed mini-golf course), and possibly a WorldSprings luxury spa and wellness resort.

Last month, Indiana-based real estate firm Great Lakes Capital, in partnership with Nebraska Furniture Market and the city of Cedar Park, officially confirmed plans for the project within CedarView. This came after NFM announced the development would also be anchored by its new 1.1 million square-foot showroom set to also be completed by 2027.

“The development of this hotel and convention center in CedarView underscores our commitment to creating vibrant, connected communities that elevate the standard of hospitality,” Ryan Rans, Managing Partner at Great Lakes Capital, said in a news release. “We are thrilled to partner with NFM and the City of Cedar Park to bring this transformative project to life.”

In the March 10 announcement, Great Lakes said that the hotel will also have “a full-service restaurant, a breakfast café, and an expansive pool area.” This new Marriott will become one of Cedar Park’s only full-service hotels, meaning it can accommodate guests seeking on-site dining, recreation and concierge services.
