SkyPlus Hotel breaks ground on dual-branded Wingate, Hawthorn Suites Hotel in Mesa

SkyPlus Hotel Corp. recently celebrated the groundbreaking of a new dual-branded Wingate by Wyndham and Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham in Mesa.

The ground-up hotel development at 6639 S. Sossaman Road near Mesa Gateway Airport is designed to serve business travelers, extended-stay guests and visitors. The hotel is scheduled to open in spring 2027, according to a release.

The hotel is being developed by SkyPlus Hotel Corp., with Alston Construction serving as the general contractor of record and Reflect Architecture as the architect of record. It is projected to create up to 248 construction jobs and 111 operations employment positions during the hotel’s construction and stabilization.

“It’s incredible to be here and to see this project take shape. There’s nothing more exciting than heavy equipment and dirt because it represents the future of what’s happening in Mesa,” Mesa Mayor Mark Freeman said in the release. “The continued growth at Mesa Gateway Airport, with millions of travelers each year, underscores the need for quality workforce and extended stay accommodations like this hotel. We were proud to support and help expedite this project. I’m deeply grateful to the SkyBridge team for its partnership and vision. This is truly an incredible journey for our city.”

Once complete, the 70,586-square-foot hotel is to have 129 guest rooms across the dual brands and include a range of amenities designed to support both short- and long-term stays. Planned features include a fitness center, swimming pool, meeting and event space accommodating up to 350 people, EV charging stations, airport shuttle service, and a future restaurant pad.

SkyBridge Arizona is a 363-acre international trade and logistics hub adjacent to Mesa Gateway Airport. The development is designed to support aerospace, advanced manufacturing, and international commerce, with direct access to both airside and landside operations.
