Crews were moving dirt Nov. 7 at the construction site of a new Courtyard by Marriott in Bastrop.

The details

The 63,603-square-foot project at 1651 Hwy. 71 E. in Bastrop, which is scheduled to be completed by Dec. 25, 2026, has an estimated construction cost of $10 million, according to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

It will feature a full-service restaurant and bar, as well as a retail pad site next door, according to the Bastrop Economic Development Development Corporation.

What we know


During a Nov. 4 meeting, Bastrop City Council authorized a temporary access and use agreement to allow developers to use adjacent city-owned land to access the Courtyard by Marriott site.

“The developer wishes to purchase said property in the future, however, an appraisal and other legal documentation is not complete,” Bastrop City Manager Sylvia Carrillo-Trevino said in a staff report.

Also of note

A dual-branded Fairfield by Marriott and TownePlace Suites by Marriott hotel is also in the works within Sendero—a 75-acre mixed-use development underway along Hwy. 71 in Bastrop.


The 99,798-square-foot hotel—expected to cater to travelers in the area on business or those visiting Bastrop State Park—will feature a variety of amenities, including an outdoor pool and a full-service bar, according to hotel development and management company American Liberty Hospitality.

The Fairfield by Marriott and TownePlace Suites by Marriott hotel is scheduled to open to travelers in early 2027, according to American Liberty Hospitality.
