A San Antonio hotel has undergone an $11 million renovation over the past two years, and it's now ready to make it s debut. Sol Cypress, the first Tribute Portfolio Hotel by Marriott in the city, will celebrate its grand opening with a public event on March 19.

Locals might have known the property at 103 9th St. as the Wyndham Garden Inn. Another Wyndham hotel was recently reopened as the InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk.

The new hotel is named for the Texas bald cypress trees that grow along the San Antonio River, including one new tree planted on the hotel's back patio "as a symbol of renewal" according to a news release. The hotel's design was a collaboration between DTM Architects and Los Angeles-based KNA Design.

After renovations, the hotel now features 131 rooms, a park for "furry companions," 4,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space, and a private event space called The Tree House that overlooks the river and the skyline.

Most notable for locals, a new restaurant and a cafe are moving in. The restaurant is called Roam & Range, and it will deliver a menu based on local restaurateur Mori Bagheri's "deep San Antonio roots and global culinary experiences," says the release. Bagheri is best-known as the owner of Bourbon Street Seafood Kitchen, which occupied the space before Roam & Range — so this is a new concept with some of the same leadership.

Roam & Range is currently sharing lunch and dinner menus online, featuring a mix of American and Mediterranean classics. Prior guests of Bourbon Street will still get to enjoy Cajun dishes like gumbo, étouffée, and seafood pastas with Cajun seasoning.

RiverRun Café will serve lattes, cappuccinos, and macarons made in-house.

Although it is now under the Marriott umbrella, the property is locally owned by Paradigm Management, which is led by John Feik, Jr., and Tim Sanford.

“As part of the Tribute Portfolio, Sol Cypress maintains its own distinct identity while benefiting from Marriott’s exceptional standards and worldwide reach,” said hotel general manager Ashley Cerney-Ciomperlik. “This allows us to craft truly unique guest experiences infused with the local culture and spirit of San Antonio.”

The release does not give times for the grand opening event, but does share that the public is welcome to explore the property.
