Premier to Partner With Blueprint Hospitality to Transform Historic Office Building Into San Antonio Hotel

USA, Dallas, Texas. June 23, 2022

Premier, an end-to-end architecture, design, procurement, and capital management firm, is pleased to announce that the firm will lead the redevelopment and conversion of the former CPS Energy headquarters to a hotel property in San Antonio. In partnership with Blueprint Hospitality, Premier will spearhead the project from design to completion using their expertise and full suite of services, including interior design, architecture, procurement, project management, and capital management for the historic conversion.

"We are excited to be partnering with Blueprint once again for this new project in San Antonio," said Hector Sanchez, CEO of Premier. "With a primary location within one of the most visited places in all of Texas, we have a great opportunity to provide guests with a memorable experience and world-class design."

Located along the River Walk in downtown San Antonio and within close proximity to attractions like the Henry B. González Convention Center, Premier will breathe new life into the 211,350- square-foot, 10-story building, which is a designated historic landmark. Premier will leverage its rich industry know-how of hospitality renovations and ground-up development projects to create hotel interiors and programming fit for visitors to San Antonio.

"Working with Premier on another project seemed like the obvious choice to make," said Kunal Mody, CEO of Blueprint Hospitality. "With the great work they are completing at the Le Meridien in Fort Worth, Blueprint is so excited to see how this hotel will shine in San Antonio."

Blueprint specializes in converting historic buildings and purchased the 10-story building at 145 Navarro Street along with the city-owned utility's interest in the Tower Life building parking garage last month. The conversion is slated to begin in 2023 and will be a hub for out of town guests and locals to gather.

Sales & Marketing: Integrating Technology


The Sales & Marketing department is responsible for maximizing a hotel's revenue by developing programs to increase occupancy and to make profitable use of its meeting and leisure facilities. Increasingly, managers are utilizing sophisticated digital technology to help them achieve those goals. Virtual Reality is being integrated into booking engines which provide potential guests the opportunity to tour a property from afar, including wedding, event and food & beverage facilities. Voice Search has also become a popular marketing tool. Using smart home devices, it's now possible for customers to book hotels entirely through voice commands. Chatbots are becoming more ubiquitous as hotels seek to refine their online customer service. Chatbots can answer common questions, push key marketing messages, increase direct bookings, and even guide customers through the booking process. Finally, hotels are already preparing for the debut of the Metaverse and planning how sales and marketing departments will fully participate. The June Hotel Business Review will focus on the sales and marketing strategies that some hotels are adopting and how they are benefiting from them.
