New $10M Hilton hotel to begin construction in Brownsville

There’s a growing cluster of hotels in Brownsville near East Morrison Road and Pablo Kisel Boulevard, which sits just north of Sunrise Mall along Interstate 69.

By November 2026, there’ll be one more, as a seven-story, Hilton-branded Embassy Suites hotel with nearly 170 rooms is planned, according to Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation records.

The $10 million project, which spans 179,000 square feet, is expected to begin construction in January 2026. The future hotel will sit along the 3301 Pablo Kisel Boulevard near the intersection of Springmart Boulevard, just east of the Interstate.

The Embassy Suites is led by developer Hershal Patel, owner of Orbit Hospitality LLC, public records show. Patel also runs Ruby Red Hospitality, among other ventures, and is the chairman of the McAllen Chamber of Commerce.
