It was way back in 2018 when The Burn first reported that a hotel project was planned for the Compass Creek center in Leesburg. Now — a full six years later — we finally know who is coming.
The landlord has revealed that the hotel will be a Residence Inn by Marriott.
Residence Inn is an extended stay hotel — meant for guests who are staying several nights or more (although that’s not a requirement). Rooms usually have kitchenettes and workspaces to accommodate these longer stays.
The hotel will be built next door to the Walmart store and just behind the Buffalo Wing Factory restaurant, the Bruster’s Real Ice Cream shop, and the Mezeh Mediterranean Grill.
The Residence Inn will feature 111 “upscale rooms and suites.”
It will become the closest hotel to the Leesburg Airport and the ION International ice skating center.
There is still one more vacant parcel of land at Compass Creek — immediately next door to the planned hotel — for some future tenant, but what business might go there isn’t known yet.
