Union City, Tenn.–Three new hotels are nearing completion right next door to Discovery Park of America in Union City.
Discovery Park officials said one of the most frequent requests they have heard since Discovery Park opened was if there were affordable–but modern and stylish–places to spend the night. “Especially among our guests who arrive without realizing just how much there is to see and do here,” Discovery Park CEO Scott Williams said. Now thanks to three hotels soon to open at Houser Creek Crossing next to Discovery Park, that wish will soon be reality.
Scheduled to open late Aug. 2019 are the new Sleep Inn and MainStay Suites by Choice Hotels. Scheduled to open by the end of 2019 is the Holiday Inn Express & Suites. Each will have a private entrance to Discovery Park making a trip back to the hotel for a nap or time at the pool quick and easy.
The Pavilion at Houser Creek is already open and ready to host events from farmer’s markets and concerts to weddings and family reunions. “Built by Homestead Timber Frames, it’s one of the largest timber frame structures in Tennessee and provides an exciting, warm and inviting outdoor space, according to Discovery Park officials,” Williams said.
Every timber in this artisan timber frame structure was handpicked to ensure the highest possible quality to create a unique and fascinating venue that will no doubt become an iconic part of a visit to Union City, according to Williams.
Because of nearby Reelfoot Lake, a 15,000 biodiverse ecosystem created by a series of earthquakes in 1811 and 1812, the area has long been a mecca for hunters, birdwatchers and outdoor water sports enthusiasts. Today, with a new museum and heritage park, hotels, restaurants and wineries, a whole new audience is discovering all there is to see and do in Northwest Tennessee.
