SACRAMENTO, Calif.
Sonnenblick Development LLC, which helped develop Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel, will spend $100 million on two hotels at California’s Sacramento International Airport, the site’s first new lodging properties in 30 years.
The Los Angeles-based company won the contract to build the hotels, to be attached to the airport’s new Terminal B, according to Robert Sonnenblick, the company’s principal. Construction of a 225-room full-service hotel and a 150-room limited-service property will start in mid-2013, with an opening planned for the first quarter of 2015, he said.
The Sacramento airport’s only hotel, a 150-room property from the mid-1970s, was demolished to make room for the new terminal, he said.
Sonnenblick’s company will begin interviewing potential hotel operators for the airport properties this month, he said.
