Let's get this out of the way first: The Trump name will not be attached to a high-rise hotel planned for just east of the Texas Capitol in Austin.

Negotiations about attaching the president's name to the proposed tower at 12th and Red River streets, on the site of the Brick Oven Restaurant, broke down before the November election, said Jim Wittliff, president of Austin-based Land Answers Inc.

However, developers still want to build a hotel on the property. Empyrean Development is behind an effort to build what it calls Hotel Mirabeau at 1201 Red River St., which would rise 33 stories and have 297 rooms, the Austin American-Statesman reports. It is one of several new hotels on the drawing board for downtown.
