Dallas, Texas (December 15, 2014) – Aimbridge Hospitality has been awarded the management contract for the new Courtyard by Marriott Hotel in Midlothian, Texas, to begin construction this month. Developed by Gatehouse Capital Corporation of Dallas, the hotel is located adjacent to the Midlothian Conference Center and will feature 105 guestrooms, flexible meeting space, a multi sport play court, swimming pool and children’s outdoor play area.

Midlothian, known as DFW’s Southern Star, is a vibrant community in the heart of Ellis County. Widely heralded as the hub of the cement business, Midlothian has a long history of other thriving industries such as steel, manufacturing, rail, oil/gas and distribution.

“The new Midlothian Marriott Courtyard Hotel meets our company’s core mission – solid market, great brand and design, and catalyst for further economic opportunity. I support the vision and leadership of the Midlothian Community Development Corporation and Midlothian Economic Developmen. We expect this hotel to expand the functionality of their existing 40,000 square foot conference facility, as well as ignite new business connections throughout the community. We are proud that Aimbridge has been able to join us in yet another hotel opportunity.”
