A new luxury hotel in Georgetown is expected to help lure more conventions – a lucrative sector of the travel industry that officials say has largely bypassed the city in recent years.
The 222-room Sheraton Georgetown Texas Hotel & Conference Center, at 1101 Woodlawn Ave., welcomed its first guests July 28, giving the city 30,000 square feet of meeting space – including a 16,000-square-foot ballroom – to accommodate business travelers.
