Hospitality management company Charlestowne Hotels has announced that it will grow the Origin Hotel Collection with four new units. Origin debuted Origin Austin last month, and has properties in Atlanta, Baton Rouge, and Kansas City currently in the pipeline. Located in the Mueller section of the Texas capital, the Austin outpost spans five stories that overlook the picturesque downtown skyline. Casual all-day eatery Blue Lacy anchors the onsite amenities, positioning the new property as a key cultural hub of its neighborhood.
“One of the biggest hospitality trends we’ve seen evolve over the years is the increased desire for hotels in emerging destinations that serve as a gateway to the cities they’re in,” says Charlestowne Hotels CEO Kyle Hughey. “The continuation of our partnership with Thrash Group allows each of us to do what we do best: Thrash leads the charge on ideating and developing Origin Hotels in dynamic markets, while we create locally driven tourism and culinary experiences that meet the surging demand for immersive travel. We’ve received an incredible response to the three existing Origin properties, which has only deepened our desire to bring the Origin brand to four new destinations.”
The 91-room Origin Baton Rouge is slated for a spring 2023 opening near Louisiana’s State Capitol Building. Housed within a historic midcentury structure, the hotel will serve a contemporary counterpoint to its location. A trio of suites will also crown the hotel, framing views of oak tree canopies from the building’s top floor. Arriving shortly after in summer 2023, Origin Atlanta will welcome guests via a sundrenched, six-story atrium set to showcase Charlestowne’s largest interior art project to date. The 123-room hotel will target business travelers as well as Georgia State University visitors. Finally, the 118-room Origin Kansas City will debut upon a premier spot on the Missouri River. In addition to a restaurant, bar, and outdoor beer garden, the property will open as the brand’s flagship fitness hotel complete with a bike library, direct access to walking trails, and the first women’s professional soccer stadium.
