Development and Operation of a Select-service or Full-service Hotel at the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport

This RFP requires the respondent to submit Qualifications for the development, financing, conceptual design, construction, and operation of the hotel, which will adjoin the Passenger Terminal. Minimum requirements for the hotel are as follows: 1. A 110- to 125-room upscale or upper-upscale (as defined by Smith Travel Research 2015 chain scales) select-service (with leased restaurant), or fullservice chain-affiliated hotel. 2. Affiliation with a major lodging brand. 3. Approximately 3,000 to 4,000 square feet of meeting and event space. 4. A ground floor three-meal restaurant and Bistro. 5. Additional facilities including business center, exercise room, and Minimarket. 6. Parking - The land available for the sites, allows for surface parking. However, the Airport is willing to close off the streets between the proposed sites and the parking garage/parking lot respectively to facilitate a driveway and usage of the existing terminal parking garage/parking lot by hotel customers, subject to negotiated parking garage fees. The closure of the streets could also facilitate an enclosed/covered walkway between the hotel and garage to provide protected transport from the hotel lobby to the Terminal. 7. Shuttle service to transport passengers and hotel guests from the Terminal building to the hotel (only required and applicable to Site B). This project will be in strict compliance with all applicable Airport rules and regulations.
