Broadway boutique hotel planned near former Kiddie Park
What might have become of the midtown real estate was a motivating factor for the Hill Country developer.

Sandstone Developments plans to redevelop the former Ranch Motel, built more than 70 years ago, into a new 26-room boutique hotel. The Hill Country developer, which has an office in New Orleans, also plans to transform adjoining site at Broadway and Mulberry Avenue land once home to the Kiddie Park, into new entertainment space.....

Seidman’s group has been involved in multiple boutique hotel projects, including the Saint Vincent in New Orleans and the Thunderbird Hotel in Marfa, among others. He hasn’t settled on a name yet for the San Antonio project, but he expects to incorporate the iconic Ranch Motel sign facing Broadway.

Along with interior and exterior improvements, a new landscaped pool and bar area is part of the planned Alamo City makeover. While Seidman did not disclose the cost of the redevelopment, he did say it’s a multimillion-dollar project.

The idea, he said, is to create an “urban retreat” for locals and visitors. “It's going to be quite the transformation.”
