I believe many locals have known about this for a little while, now there is an update on the Embassy Suites on Houston Street.

Nearly a year and a half after the city's Historic Design & Review Commission gave developers of a planned downtown high-rise hotel conceptual approval, the proposed site remains a parking lot.
City officials say the project may have recently cleared an important hurdle -- a land swap that allows the city to provide increased public access to the River Walk from the site. However, principal developer Jack Guenther will say little about the status of the planned hotel.
The proposed hotel site is a parcel of real estate bordered by Houston Street to the south and Travis Street to the north. To the east is the San Antonio River and to the west is Soledad Street.
Preliminary plans, according to information obtained from the city's Historic Preservation office, show a hotel that would rise approximately 16 stories high and fly the Embassy Suites flag.
