Approval of a proposed full-service and extended-stay hybrid Hilton hotel is still pending after Prosper Town Council sent the project back to the Planning and Zoning Commission for further review.

How it works: The proposed hotel would be divided into a Hilton Garden Inn with 100 full-service rooms and a Homewood Suites by Hilton with 94 extended-stay rooms, according to town documents.

Full-service hotels are permitted in Prosper by right, but extended-stay hotels require town approval through a special use permit.

Who it’s for: The extended-stay portion of the hotel is designed to appeal to business travelers, who make up over 60% of Homewood Suites guests, according to Hilton representative Whitney Knight.

Next steps: Council decided to see if the additional information about the dual-branch model, including the intended clientele of the extended-stay component, would change the commission’s recommendation.

After the commission reissues a recommendation, the project will return to council for a final vote.

On May 26, Texas Republican voters will choose their nominee for the U.S. Senate in a runoff election between incumbent Sen. John Cornyn and state Attorney General Ken Paxton.

The big picture: The Republican race for U.S. Senate is one of several statewide contests that advanced to May runoffs after no candidate received more than 50% of the vote in the March 3 primary election.

Cornyn and Paxton were the two highest-performing candidates in the eight-way primary race, with Cornyn securing 42% of the vote to Paxton's 41%.

At the polls: Early voting in Texas' runoff elections runs from May 18-22, and runoff election day is May 26.

Looking ahead: The winner of the May 26 overtime round will face the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate—state Rep. James Talarico of Austin—in the November midterm election. Third-party and independent candidates may also appear on the November ballot, and the winner of that election will be sworn in to the U.S. Senate in January 2027.
