Well, I’ll be. Posh hotel chain Hotel ZaZa has announced it will be placing its next Dallas area location in Frisco at the brand new Wade Park Complex.
“Known for its contemporary design and upscale amenities, Hotel ZaZa will be among the highlights of Thomas Land & Development’s $1.6 billion upscale mixed-use development, taking shape at the Dallas North Tollway and Lebanon Road.
Thomas Land & Development will develop the new hotel, and it will be branded and managed by Hotel ZaZa and Z Resorts Management LLC. It is slated to open with the first phase of the development in the Fall of 2016.
The hotel also will have a 1,000-square-foot fitness center and a ZaSpa.
It will be the third Hotel ZaZa in Texas, joining locations in Uptown and Houston. Hotel ZaZa also recently broke ground on a location in downtown Austin and continues to “aggressively look for additional opportunities across the country,” the company said.
Stan Thomas, president and chief executive of Thomas Land & Development called Hotel ZaZa, “a leader in the competitive Dallas luxury hotel set,” offering a “one of a kind experience.”
Said Benji Homsey, president of brand development for Z Resorts: “The Frisco community is booming, and our resort-style hotel will meet the need by offering a unique experience, blending the best of business and leisure travel with the luxury and exclusivity of a boutique hotel unlike any other in the area.”
The new Hotel ZaZa will be positioned along the main street of Wade Park’s retail village, surrounded by 600,000 square-feet of high-end shopping, dining, and entertainment. The center also will feature 6 million square feet of office space, as well as apartments, condominiums, and single-family homes supported by “numerous luxury amenities and concierge services,” the company said.
Hotel ZaZa is the first of three hospitality venues slated for Wade Park. Plans also include a 350-room executive conference hotel along the Tollway, and an upscale limited-service hotel.
The development also is slated to include a 45,000 square-foot Whole Foods Market, iPic Theaters, and Pinstripes, which signed leases for the center earlier this year. The developer broke ground on Wade Park in early August.”
Frisco just got an early Christmas, and suddenly the suburbs are a bit more posh!
