Mesa, Arizona to get State’s Biggest Hotel

Gaylord Entertainment, which owns the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, TN and has several Gaylord hotels and resorts in the United States, has announced plans to build a new hotel in Mesa, east of downtown Phoenix. The company plans to develop its fifth Gaylord resort and conference center on 100 acres of land in the East Valley. It will be the largest hotel in the state when complete.

The project is expected to be ten stories tall, have 1,200 - 1,500 rooms, 400,000 square feet of meeting and convention space, several restaurants and other resort amenities. Plans are to have the new resort open and welcoming guests in 2012.

“This will be much, much bigger than any convention center hotel in the Valley,” said Gaylord CEO Colin Reed, who was also excited about the views of Superstition Mountain and the valley, which will only add to the draw of the new hotel.

The Gaylord project is anticipated to bring thousands of jobs and ancillary business to the area. The land is adjacent to the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, and Mesa city officials and leaders have been pushing for high quality jobs in the area around Gateway airport. Reed expects the hotel itself will generate some 2,000 jobs in its construction and operation.
