And that's what I like about it.

Nope. Because the hotel will be physically located on TCU campus property, TCU has final approval rights over all the aesthetics. It was the same deal when they built the Grandmarc a few years back. TCU wants to make sure the aesthetics are consistent with the TCU campus look.from reading these comments, TCU isn't building the hotel, merely leasing the land...I imagine they have some input, but the hotel owner I'm sure has primary input to the aesthetics.
The hotel will be on campus from its beginning.Then the hotel is practically on campus.
You have a good eye for location. The site you mention is where the new administration building will be built.I think it would have to be on Berry St. but it could be farther West closer to the Stadium and main part of the campus. Maybe between the McDonalds and Admissions or between the Bookstore and GrandMarc.

Ha ha. I have bad knees, especially my left one. I will need at least one knee replacement before too long.
Renderings of TCU's on campus hotel. The 5 floor structure will contain 150 rooms, 4,000 sqft of ballroom space, a rooftop bar, and an outdoor pool. A restaurant will be adjacent to the structure, serving the hotel and general public. Possibly to be run by Hyatt.
If you need the name of a kick-ass doctor to replace that knee, just let me know.
Believe me
Looks as if University Methodist Church has been turned into a Pizza Hut. BTW...have it on good authority that TCU has been trying to purchase the church...
Is that ugly corrugated steel residence at the corner of Lubbock and Bowie still privately owned?
Lol, matter of personal taste I suppose, I love that place. If it's the one I think it is, it's the residence and office of Joe Self, a local architect, and his designer wife Tracy. TCU regularly tries to hit them up to sell, but not for the right price. Seems inevitable to happen at some point, though.
No, that’ll be a drink in the new rooftop bar—-BloodLine.On first glance I read the thread title as 'helmet' rather than 'hotel'. I had forgotten we are building a hotel, and I am very glad to hear that we aren't getting any more helmets, though I'm sure it's only a matter of time.
Room rates and availability should be interesting. Aggie buddy of mine went to a game last season in college station. I asked if he was staying at their new campus hotel. Said it’s almost impossible to get a room on game weekend. And he couldn’t afford it anyways as they were basically going to the highest bidder.
