The Silverthorne Planning Commission approved the preliminary site plan for a new hotel for the third time Tuesday, Aug. 2, initiating the process to construct the 147-room Element Hotel by Westin on Meraly Way. 

Commissioners initially approved the preliminary plans back in 2018 which outlined a 101,201-square-foot hotel with 114 rooms. According to previous Summit Daily News reporting, after looking at the cost of building it above a new parking structure, the developers at the time decided it wasn’t financially viable and adjusted the designs.

Now, after pandemic delays, another version was presented to the commissioners that would include 147 rooms on a site area of just over 98,500 square feet. The hotel will be five stories, one story taller than the Hampton Inn next door to the west. To the north is the Summit Place Shopping Center and to the east is Anemone Trail Road and Solorado Townhomes. Denver Water owns the land to the south.
