Drury Inn & Suites-San Antonio North is Now Open ANTONIO, TX (SLFP.com), July 2, 2004 - The new Drury Inn & Suites hotel located west of Hwy 281 on FM 1604 in north San Antonio, is now open. The hotel is owned and developed by Drury Southwest Corporation, and operated by Drury Inns, Inc. Approximately 20-25 jobs will be created in the community with the opening of this hotel. Drury took the opportunity to be a good environmental citizen when it learned that the hotel was to be built over part of an area known as the aquifer recharge zone - where the City of San Antonio acquires its water supply. This development exercised great care to preserve the natural environment at the site including its trees. The project also made innovative use of a sinkhole feature by capturing rainwater, filtering it and returning it to the aquifer to replenish the San Antonio water supply. Completion of this latest hotel puts Drury Southwest in a position to now focus its efforts on the redevelopment of the historic Aztec Theater and Alamo National Bank building in downtown San Antonio. Drury hopes to garner approval for the downtown project, which includes completion of the River Walk loop. Approval by council will assure that hundreds of local jobs are secured for what will be an approximately two-year project. "We are proud to add the 12th Drury Hotel to the San Antonio Area," stated General Manager, Edgar Nieves. "We believe our new hotel will meet the needs of business travelers and vacationing families looking for top quality accommodations at a great value." The new, 102-room hotel features free high-speed internet access in all guest rooms and meeting rooms, an indoor pool and whirlpool, exercise room, business center, and guest laundry facilities. A variety of room types are available, including standard rooms with 2 queen-size beds, and 2-room suites with private living and sleeping areas. Microwaves, refrigerators, irons with full-size ironing boards, coffeemakers, and hair dryers are included in every room, as well as guest voice mail. The hotel is attractively decorated and includes an inside atrium lobby, observation elevator and adjoining breakfast room where guests can enjoy a free HOT! QUIKSTART* breakfast. This expansive buffet offers guests a choice of scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, Belgian waffles, juices, hot and cold cereals, toast, fresh fruit, milk, coffee, tea, pastries and other assorted baked goods. Along with the breakfast, Drury's value package includes free evening beverages and a variety of hot evening foods for a light dinner or snack, offered daily.
