94-room hotel approved for downtown Macon

Macon-Bibb Planning and Zoning approved the hotel proposed for Cherry Street in their meeting Monday

MACON, Ga. — Macon-Bibb Planning and Zoning approved plans for a 94-room hotel on Cherry Street and Cotton Avenue Monday.

The hotel will be located right across from the Macon City Auditorium in the building at 682 Cherry Street. 

Dunwody-Beeland Architects want to turn the existing 11-story building into a hotel while keeping the first floor as retail space.

Plans say the hotel will have valet parking, with additional parking at a lot one block away from the building.

This comes after two other hotels were approved for the county around two weeks ago--one on Bass Road and the other on Poplar Street.
