GARDEN GROVE, CA-Denver-based Stonebridge-McWhinney Group, Colorado’s largest developer/builder of hotels and the 51st largest hotel developer in the country, is working with city officials on an agreement to build two new hotels in the city’s so-called Disney area at the corner of Harbor Blvd. and Chapman Ave.

Just south of Anaheim, down Harbor Boulevard from the Disneyland Resort and theme parks, Downtown Disney retail/entertainment center and the new Grand Californian Hotel, Garden Grove has been busy attracting hotel development for the past few years. At present, eight hotels totaling 2,500 rooms are already in the area. If these two are built, it would add another 500 rooms to the mix. Community development director Matthew Fertal says the city is hoping that Stonebridge-McWhinney will apply for and be granted the rights to build two Marriott properties.

“There’s no question that Marriott, in everyone’s opinion in the travel industry, is the number one franchise choice,” says industry analyst Alan X. Reay, president of Atlas Hospitality Group in Costa Mesa. “Garden Grove has been very proactive in getting hotels developed in the city, and I commend them for that. They’ve been very savvy. The city of Anaheim has poured a lot of money into rejuvenating the area around Disneyland, anticipating more hotels than actually broke ground. Garden Grove has capitalized on the expansion of the convention center and Disney’s growth.”
