The Foxhall Resort in Georgia is set to build a five-story, 250-room Westin hotel with a 50,000-square-foot conference center.
Construction is slated to begin in the third quarter of the year, with an opening scheduled for 2024.
Foxhall Resort is owned by the Merrill Trust and is located at a bend of the Chattahoochee River on a 1,100-acre equestrian estate. “Foxhall Resort has become a global go-to destination for corporate retreats, weddings, outdoor enthusiasts and families seeking fun and adventure just 20 minutes from the Atlanta airport,” President and CEO Harrison Merrill, Jr. said in a statement. “We’re excited to introduce more people to this beautiful land and the outdoor experiences here, and in so doing, to create an economic juggernaut for Douglas County.”
Together the new Westin and the existing Foxhall Resort are anticipated to attract more than 100,000 people to Douglas County along with an estimated 1,000 corporate events, weddings and social gatherings each year.
“We envision one of the largest economic development corridors in the United States along the South Fulton Parkway between Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Foxhall Resort. We’re excited to be at the forefront of that vision,” said Foxhall Resort Founder Harrison Merrill Sr.
Last June, the resort opened a new clubhouse that included the Pheasant Blue restaurant and bar, the Flying Fox grab-and-go market and retail shop, additional corporate meeting space and an infinity pool. The county also approved additional residences and estate homesites that will be for sale. The sales team is led by Pauline Miller of Compass Development Marketing Group.
