A 182-key Residence Inn will break ground in the next six months at 7807 Kirby Dr., a Moody National Cos. representative told the Houston Business Journal. A completion date hasn't been finalized.

IronTiger Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I heard "new hotel near NRG Stadium" and I immediately thought of the former Days Inn spot at Kirby and Westridge, but nope, that had been converted to a dirt lot, even taking the old parking lot that remained. It was Droubi's Bakery & Deli until sometime in 2007, a Mediterranean establishment that is still around in a different location. Swamplot indicates that it incorporated railroad cars into its design somehow. I wonder why the old location was demolished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdueenginerd Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 That rendering kind of reminds me of the embassy suites downtown. Might look good on paper, but im not convinced that building will be attractive after construction. This should help extend the skyline of the medical district a little farther south. The location is kind of surrounded by a sea of surface level parking lots that get occupied for football games and rodeo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote 16-story Residence Inn Medical Center tops out By Katherine Feser May 25, 2018 Houston-based Moody National Cos. has reached a construction milestone with the topping out of the 16-story Residence Inn Medical Center near NRG Stadium. Seven months after breaking ground, Arch-Con Construction reached final height on the hotel, which is on target to open in February in time for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo next year. The hotel is at 7807 Kirby, just south of Main Street, around the corner from another Residence Inn which is expected to remain open. "Being so close to the Texas Medical Center makes it a second home for many people and their families who travel to Houston for treatment," Moody National Cos. CEO Brett Moody said in an announcement. Moody National Hospitality Management will manage the 182-room hotel, which will have an indoor pool, fitness workout room and kitchens and appliances in every room. Guest rooms will be on floors 3-16, with the second floor housing four meeting/conference rooms. The project also includes a 70,000-square-foot parking garage.
