The Stella Hotel Joins Marriott International's Autograph Collection Hotels
The Stella will maintain its identity; Expected to be part of Autograph Collection Hotels by late 2021
Bryan-College Station, TX – September 28, 2021 – Atlas Hotel, LP today announced it has signed an agreement with Marriott International for The Stella, Bryan-College Station’s premiere hotel, to join Marriott International’s Autograph Collection Hotels portfolio. Named the #3 hotel in Texas by Condé Nast Traveler’s 2020 Readers’ Choice Awards, the 176-room property anchors Lake Walk, the area’s emerging hub of technology and innovation. The Stella is expected to be formally converted into Marriott’s Autograph Collection by late 2021.
“Placing The Stella in Marriott’s Autograph Collection Hotels is a win for all of our guests who can now benefit from The Stella being part of Marriott Bonvoy, the world’s leading global travel program,” said Spencer Clements, President of The Stella Hotel. “We created The Stella specifically for this part of central Texas. Knowing that Autograph Collection Hotels recognizes and celebrates that uniqueness while delivering a luxury, personalized experience is what convinced us to add this strong brand to our hotel.”
Strategically located directly between the flagship campus of Texas A&M University and the Texas A&M University System’s RELLIS Campus, Lake Walk is the innovative ecosystem that best-in-class companies such as FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies, iBio, and ViaSat call home. Lake Walk also features the Lake Walk Innovation Center, the Children’s Museum of the Brazos Valley, POV Coffee House and the award-winning Lake Walk Tower and Pavilion, where each year dozens of concerts, artisan vendor markets and other special events invite thousands of participants to engage their senses along the scenic waterfront.
Inspired by the stars and the singular spirit of Texas, The Stella Hotel offers stylish comfort and sophistication. Its AAA Four Diamond status reflects the standards of the hotel’s guest rooms (including 23 stylish suites and executive King rooms), public areas, and the personalized service and amenities guests can expect while staying at The Stella. Meetings and events can flow seamlessly from indoors to out at one of six separate venues. At The Stella, guests are invited to gather at Campfire, a place to enjoy southern hospitality and authentic Texas cuisine. Experience vast views of the Texas sky from our own Backyard or cozy up at our own speakeasy style bar, Hershel’s, for a night cap. From summer concerts on the lawn to seasonally inspired cuisine, everything exudes the warmth and cherished traditions of Texas. The Stella is managed by Noble House Hotels & Resorts.
The Stella will be the ninth Autograph Collection Hotel in Texas. There are currently 237 Autograph Collection Hotels worldwide.
