Imperial House to become Holiday Inn Express

The Hamilton County Rural Zoning Commission will consider a site plan adjustment that would lead to a Holiday Inn Express.

The new owner of the Imperial House Hotel is planning an expansion and rebranding of the 197-room hotel at I-74 and Rybolt Road.

The adjustment to the approved site plan includes a 2,475-square-foot, two story addition on the northwestern side of the hotel and a 1,072-square-foot addition to expand the lobby on the southeastern side of the building.

Because of the future re-alignment of Rybolt Road, more parking would be added on the northeastern side of the building, existing parking would be re-arranged and new landscaping and signage would be added.

An indoor swimming facility and an outdoor patio are planned for the future.

A preliminary staff report found that the proposed changes fit the intent of the original development plan for the site.

The adjustment is expected to pass.
