(KAIR)--What type of hotel will it be? That widely posed question, following the announcement February 17th that approval was granted for construction of a hotel in downtown Atchison, is now answered.

According to a press release issued by Atchison Hospitality Group, LLC, a Holiday Inn Express will be built in the parking lot between 4th and 5th Streets, along Main Street.

The City Commission on February 17th approved the development agreement for the $4.6 million-dollar hotel, which is funded through private investors.

The press release reveals that the Holiday Inn Express Atchison will be a four story, 66 room hotel, featuring an indoor pool, fitness center, wi-fi, and complimentary hot breakfast.

Announcement of the hotel brand, and those details, was placed on hold until final approval was granted by Intercontinental Hotels Group.

The release states that “every effort will be made to integrate elements found elsewhere inn downtown Atchison to the exterior design” in order for the hotel to “complement the downtown area from an overall appearance perspective.”

The hotel is seen as a potential economic boon for the city.

Construction is expected to begin late this summer with an anticipated opening date during the late spring of 2017.
