(WLOX) - Construction has begun on a new Holiday Inn at the corner of Debuys Road and Highway 90, marking the latest hotel development along the coastal corridor.Jordan Salloum, one of the hotel’s five owners, said the five-story building will feature 113 rooms with ocean views. Work started several weeks ago across from 90 Express.“All the rooms are gonna have a beautiful view. It really lends itself to a hotel here,” Salloum said. “We were just looking at what the highest and best use for this land would be, and it’s just a beautiful site for a hotel, we think, right here being close to the mall.”Just blocks away, construction on a four-story Hampton Inn by Hilton is nearly finished next to Surf Style. A&amp;R Group President of Development Zach Hoyt said the 98-room hotel is expected to open at the end of the first quarter of 2026.“We have 98 rooms that are gonna be there, so we’ll have at any given point in time 98+ guests for fully occupied,” Hoyt said.The Hampton Inn represents a million-dollar investment and could create up to 20 jobs, according to Hoyt.Despite being located just blocks apart, both developers said the projects complement each other and reflect Gulfport’s growth.“We see it as a positive. We see that as they’re more competitive competitors out there willing to invest their own capital,” Hoyt said.Salloum said the Holiday Inn project will bring additional development and employment opportunities to the area.“It’ll bring more development, hopefully, to this area with the staff here, and the construction should create a good amount of jobs,” Salloum said.Workers at nearby businesses said they expect the new Holiday Inn to increase foot traffic in the area.Salloum said work on the Holiday Inn is expected to be completed in spring 2027.“We’re from here and we live here and the Coast means so much to us, so we really wanted to put something nice here. We really wanted to put something that people from here could be proud of and we really hope everyone’s excited about it,” Salloum said.See a spelling or grammar error in this story?
