August 12, 2009 (Denver, Colo.) � Magnolia Hotels, a Denver-based hotel management and development company, today announced it has received the management contract to operate the historic LaSalle Hotel in Bryan, Tex., nearby College Station and Texas A&M University. The LaSalle will join Magnolia Hotels� properties in Houston and Dallas, in addition to Magnolia hotels in Denver, Colo. and Omaha, Neb. Owned by the City of Bryan, the City council voted on Aug. 11, 2009 for Magnolia Hotels to manage the property.

�We are thrilled to have the management contract on a full-service hotel in the terrific town of Bryan/College Station,� said Leigh Hitz, President of Magnolia Hotels. �The LaSalle Hotel is a historic boutique property, aligning perfectly with the other Magnolia hotels in Denver, Dallas, Houston and Omaha.�

�We are looking forward to a very successful partnership with Magnolia Hotels for the management of one of Bryan�s outstanding assets, the historic LaSalle Hotel in downtown Bryan. The Magnolia Hotels group currently manages other historic properties in Houston, Dallas, Denver and Omaha with great success. We are excited about the possibilities of adding more opportunities for business groups, sports groups, citizens and visitors to tap into this wonderful resource in Historic Downtown Bryan,� said Joey Dunn, deputy city manager, Bryan, Texas.

The LaSalle Hotel, 120 S. Main Street in Bryan, Tex., is a 55-room property that will be operated as The LaSalle Hotel by Magnolia Hotels. Built in 1928, the hotel is a registered historic landmark. The limestone and marble building is in the heart of downtown Bryan, close to businesses, shops and restaurants. There are two meeting rooms available for business meetings and events; the Grand Room accommodating up to 70, and the Brazos room accommodating up to 45. The property is full of charm, with many antiques decorating the lobby and guestrooms, black and white tile floors in the guestroom baths and claw-foot bathtubs in many of the rooms. Marble floors in the lobby and original woodwork reflect the craftsmanship of the early 20th century.

Magnolia Hotels plans to update the hotel�s bedding and décor, in addition to expanding the restaurant by offering patio seating and a bar area. Additionally, Magnolia Hotels plans on replacing all guestroom televisions with flat-screen televisions.

Amenities which Magnolia hotels are known for, including complimentary breakfast, evening beer and wine reception, and signature bedtime cookie buffet also will be offered at The LaSalle Hotel.
