The Moran CityCentre hotel looks to local market during pandemic By Katherine Feser, Staff writer
As Midway’s boutique hotel in CityCentre turned 10 years old, the Houston-based developer brought in a new hotel management company to rebrand, naming the hotel after Midway’s late founder Jim Moran.
Jerome Strack of HEI Hotels & Resorts arrived in Houston in December 2019 to spearhead changes at Midway’s Moran CityCentre. The 266-room west Houston hotel near Beltway 8 and Interstate 10, previously known as Hotel Sorella, is part of Midway’s 47-acre CityCentre development, along with shopping, dining, office, residential and entertainment components.
The hotel, one of 87 operated by Norwalk, Conn.-based HEI, ramped up from 17 employees to 150 by the end of February as Strack assembled a team. Then COVID-19 hit.
