DeSoto County’s First 4‑Star Hotel to Break Ground August 28th

WOW Resorts and Onyx Hospitality break ground Aug. 28 on DeSoto County’s first 4-star hotel, an Embassy Suites by Hilton at the Landers Center.

SOUTHAVEN, MS, UNITED STATES, August 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The groundbreaking for a new Embassy Suites by Hilton in Southaven, Mississippi, will take place on Thursday, Aug. 28, at 10:00 a.m. CT, the first step in building DeSoto County’s only 4‑star hotel, a one‑of‑a‑kind destination adjacent to the Landers Center. Designed as a resort‑style property, the hotel will feature more than 250 rooms, a lazy river, fine dining, and indoor parking—an estimated $75M project —raising the bar for the region’s hospitality and visitor experience.

“We’re thrilled to bring a true high‑end lodging experience to DeSoto County,” said Anwar Aman, Co-Chief Executive Officer of WOW Resorts, which is building the new hotel in conjunction with Onyx Hospitality. “From a resort‑style lazy river to fine dining, this Embassy Suites by Hilton will set a new standard for comfort and convenience—whether you’re here for a major event at the Landers Center, a business trip, or a weekend getaway. We’re proud to invest in Southaven and work alongside our community partners to create a destination that sparks new energy and opportunity across the county.”

Situated steps from the Landers Center—home to concerts, sports, conventions, and large‑scale community events—the hotel is planned to serve as a hospitality hub for visitors and locals alike. The opening is slated for late 2027, creating hundreds of new jobs in the community.
