Texas State University Hotel

Location
San Marcos, Texas
Markets
Size
517,000 SF

Tucked among the trees, The Texas State University Hotel weaves three thoughtfully scaled buildings into the natural landscape. Their placement offers distinct outdoor experiences, including a welcoming courtyard lobby and a dynamic gathering space. 

Hospitality takes center stage, emphasizing the hotel’s arboreal design and relaxed environment. At street level, a coffee shop and study lounge grant focus to the space, creating a direct connection with the campus and San Marcos.  

Designed to engage students, locals, and visitors alike, the hotel strengthens its communal link through strategically placed retaining walls that open the ground level to the North Guadalupe Street sidewalk. Positioned harmoniously with Concho Street, the first floor is a vibrant intersection of campus life and city culture.
