SIKESTON, Mo. — Representatives of W and B Hospitality broke ground Tuesday, April 11, on a new dual-brand hotel in Sikeston.

Fairfield by Marriott and TownePlace Suites will be in Cotton Ridge Development and located at 1239 Commerce Drive. The hotel is set to open in the spring of 2024.

Fairfield by Marriott and TownePlace Suites is expected to feature 52 rooms in the Fairfield Inn and 49 TownePlace Suites designed to accommodate guests who are looking for flexibility with a longer stay.

The suites are also slated to include fully-equipped kitchens with a refrigerator, cooktop, microwave, dishwasher and residential-size appliances. Additionally, the hotel plans to have a bar area available for guests during evening hours.

"We are thrilled to be part of bringing two beautiful Marriott hotels into the Sikeston community and be part of such a warm and welcoming city," said Heidi Wilcox, partner, W and B Hospitality. "Once complete, we expect to welcome guests from all over and to be able to showcase Sikeston and the area."
