    UPDATE: As of June 2, the hotel is open and booking stays.

    ---

    Busy hotel developer Sam Moon Group is at it again with a new property opening in Frisco: The Hyatt Regency Frisco Hotel will be located within Frisco’s Stonebriar Centre at the intersection of Preston Road and the Sam Rayburn Tollway, ready to serve both leisure and business travelers.

    According to a release, it'll open in June.

    The property will feature feature 18 stories, 303 rooms, two restaurants, a lobby bar, and conference center with two ballrooms. It'll also host a 3,000-square-foot satellite Frisco Public Library that's accessible to hotel visitors and city residents.

    In addition to a street-level entry, the hotel will also be accessible via Stonebriar Centre on the second floor, right between Nordstrom and Dillard's. It's also next door to the only U.S. location for Kidzania, an experiential and educational real-life city built for children ages 4-17, which will offer specials for hotel guests.

    Sam Moon Group entered into a public-private partnership with the city of Frisco to reinvest in and enhance Stonebriar Centre. Best known for its glittery discount jewelry and accessory store chain, Sam Moon has extended its reach to real estate with a portfolio that includes shopping centers, hotels and conference centers, mixed use developments, and a golf course.

    Other hotels in the works or already open include a JW Marriott hotel on the edge of the Dallas Arts District opening in 2022; and the Renaissance Dallas at Plano Legacy West Hotel which opened (with a big art installation) in 2017.

    In a statement, developer Daniel Moon calls Frisco a "modern city brimming with attractions," and says that the new Hyatt Regency Frisco will reflect this.

    "It's hard to imagine that this bustling city was once a dusty cattle drive trail that was later transformed by the railroad through the North Texas plains, and now it’s a tourist destination renowned for shopping, stadiums, conventions and entertainment," Moon says. "Our hotel will celebrate the spirit of this vibrant community."

    Designed by HKS, Inc. Architects, the building is sheathed in glass in a transitional modern style and will feature views of Frisco. Interiors by Looney & Associates will evoke a "timeless Texas flavor" with tactile natural materials, soft lighting, and dramatic focal elements.

    The release lists all of the attractions nearby that include seven sports headquarters, two sports stadiums, and the National Soccer Hall of Fame, including the Dallas Cowboys and their practice facility, Frisco RoughRiders, Dallas Stars Hockey Club, FC Dallas, Texas Legends and Complexity Gaming, FC Dallas, and the Frisco RoughRiders, all within five miles of the hotel.

    Texas travelers have a convenient new route to check out thanks to Vonlane: The Texas-based luxury motor coach service is adding a new daily service between Dallas and The Woodlands, starting on June 13.

    This will be a second Houston-area destination from Dallas: Vonlane already offers service between Dallas and downtown Houston, where it stops at the Hyatt Regency at 1200 Louisiana St.

    The new service brings a convenient nonstop route to and from the northern fringe of Houston — The Woodlands, Spring, Cypress, Conroe, Montgomery County, and northern Harris County. The trip time is 3 hours and 15 minutes. (The ride to downtown takes 3 hours and 45 minutes.)

    According to Vonlane founder and CEO Alex Danza, The Woodlands has been a much-requested route.

    “The Woodlands area has been our most requested geographic addition for several years, so we’re thrilled to announce this expansion, our 10th destination on our 11th anniversary,” Danza says. “Bringing our elevated bus service to suburban areas is a strategic priority as we seek to relieve the hassles of driving and air travel for our passengers and better meet them where they live, work, and play.”

    Buses have 22 first-class leather seats, ample workspace, complimentary Wi-Fi, and an onboard attendant offering premium cabin service with snacks, meals, and beverages included.

    Schedule
    Beginning June 13, The Woodlands-Dallas route will offer the following departures:

    • Monday, Thursday, and Friday: 6:15 am, 10:15 am, 2:15 pm, and 6:15 pm – departing both The Woodlands and Dallas
    • Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday: 10:15 am and 2:15 pm – departing both The Woodlands and Dallas
    • Saturday: 9 am: departing The Woodlands
    • Saturday 1 pm: departing Dallas

    Terminal Locations & Hotel Partners
    The new dropoff point for the Woodlands service will be at Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center, 1601 Lake Robbins Dr., The Woodlands. According to Danza, The Woodlands Waterway Marriott offers easy access to I-45, ample parking, and high-quality accommodations, IE a nice waiting area.

    It'll go to Dallas' established stop at Doubletree Love Field, 3300 W. Mockingbird Ln.

    The new route offers proximity to major employers in the area such as Alight Solutions, Baker Hughes, Chevron Phillips, Entergy, ExxonMobil, Hewlett-Packard, Houston Methodist, Huntsman Corporation, Lone Star College, McKesson, Memorial Hermann, Occidental Petroleum, St. Luke’s Health, and Texas Children’s.

    Visit The Woodlands president Nick Wolda says in a statement that The Woodlands is a popular destination for Dallas residents.

    “Visit The Woodlands is excited to welcome Vonlane to The Woodlands Waterway Marriott and Conference Center. This first-class amenity is a fantastic addition to our vibrant community, perfectly designed to elevate the travel experience,” Wolda says. “The Woodlands is the go-to destination for trips from the DFW area—whether you're a corporate conventioneer, a Pavilion concertgoer, a college student coming home, or a weekend shopping trip with friends. With this new service, getting to and from The Woodlands has never been easier or more enjoyable!"

    Fares are a flat rate of $125 for one-way trips with advance purchase. No taxes, baggage fees, or change fees apply. Rates increase with less than seven days’ notice and within 24 hours before departure.

    Fares include complimentary Wi-Fi, snacks, meals (on select routes), and non-alcoholic beverages. Alcohol is available for purchase. Tickets can be booked at www.vonlane.com.

    Vonlane was founded in 2014 and offers more than 475 weekly departures across 10 destinations. Routes operate in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Plano, San Antonio, and The Woodlands, Texas; between Atlanta, Georgia, and Nashville, Tennessee; and between Nashville and Memphis.
