Construction is beginning on a $12 million hotel near Toyota Field in Town Madison.

A permit was issued last week for Homewood Suites by Hilton at 540 Town Madison Blvd. It is one of four commercial construction projects issued a permit last week in Madison, Morgan and Limestone counties that exceeded $1 million, according to Southern Exposure Information.

Ground was broken in June on the 100-room hotel. It is being developed by PHD Hotels, which developed the Hilton Garden Inn and Home2Suites on the more than 550-acre site.

It is considered one of Hilton’s upper brands, an extended stay in which every room has a kitchen. The hotel will feature meeting space, a swimming pool, a firepit, a business center and a guest laundry.

Fite Construction of Decatur is listed as the builder of the hotel.

The location would put guests within walking distance of not only Toyota Field, but several restaurants.
