A new Hampton Inn hotel is planned for College Station at the former Applebee’s site on Texas Avenue, bringing new life to a long-vacant property. In March, the city council unanimously approved rezoning the roughly 1.24-acre tract from commercial industrial to a planned mixed-use district, allowing for hotel development.
Following College Station's recognition as the recipient of a Tourism Friendly Texas certification in November, Visit College Station is furthering its efforts in welcoming tourists, growing businesses and ensuring the “Heart of Aggieland” makes its mark on everyone who visits.
College Station-Bryan has earned a spot among the nation’s best-performing large metropolitan areas, ranking No. 28 nationally and No. 3 in Texas on the Milken Institute’s annual list.
College Station had a banner year on the business front in 2025. From retail growth to local businesses expanding, the city experienced significant economic activity last year.
