Latest news: Edition to Dallas; Auberge to Steamboat; Aspen grows in Alaska

Edition to Dallas. Kaizen Development Partners announced that Marriott’s Edition brand has been selected for its $650 million mixed-used development project in Dallas. The 214-room Dallas Edition hotel and 60-unit The Residences at The Dallas Edition will be the luxury flag’s first Texas location. Another 22-story tower in the development will feature 400,000 square feet of Class AA office space. Retail, food and beverage offerings will be spread across the two buildings. Pricing for the condo units reportedly starts at $1.5 million for one-bedroom units and range up to $20 million.

Auberge to Steamboat. Stockman Development LLC, led by Marquee Development is developing The Stockman, Auberge Collection in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, with a 59-room hotel and 95 private residences expected to open in 2030. Breaking ground on a nine-story building this year, the property will offer ski-in, ski-out access as well as Wellbeing by Auberge with a full-service spa and pool. Residential sales will launch in spring 2026.

Extended-stay demand surge. The highest monthly demand growth in almost four years lifted U.S. extended-stay hotel RevPAR and occupancy to positive change for the first time in 11 and 14 months respectively. February marked a four-month trend of accelerating extended-stay demand growth which, if continued, should lead to stronger RevPAR gains during the foreseeable future. “Economy extended-stay hotel RevPAR declined again in February, but the fall was less than all economy class hotels reported and recent trends indicate it should turn positive in the next one to two months,” said The Highland Group Partner Mark Skinner.

Financing for Dallas Renaissance. 3H Group, Inc and Dallas Lodging Associates, LLC received financing from Western Alliance Bank for the 337-room Renaissance Dallas North. JLL arranged a floating-rate, five-year loan. The owners acquired the hotel in July 2025 and plan to invest into a comprehensive renovation program targeting guestrooms, food and beverage outlets and meeting spaces. The transformation is designed to recapture the property's strong pre-pandemic performance and rebuild its group travel segment.

Aspen Hotels expands in Alaska. Anchorage-based Aspen Hotels has announced the acquisition and full renovation of three former Extended Stay America properties, the alignment of additional independent hotels under the Aspen Hotels brand, and the development of a new guest rewards program scheduled to launch later this spring. Aspen Hotels now operates the largest hotel portfolio in the state by location, with 16 properties spanning nearly a dozen Alaska communities and 1,428 rooms statewide, representing a 168% increase in capacity. JL Hospitality Management will operate the properties.

Daytona development adds Trademark. Daytona Beach, Florida, boutique hotel, the Ambros Daytona, has joined Wyndham Hotels & Resorts’ Trademark Collection. The 50-room hotel, opened in January 2026, was redeveloped by entrepreneurs Louis Caiola, Graham Jones, and Gregory Jones.

G6 upgrades procurement.

The launch forms part of G6 Hospitality’s broader transformation agenda, alongside recent investments in marketing, digital guest platforms, and enterprise technology capabilities.
