Hammons reveals plans for Chateau on Lake of the Ozarks

Posted online
John Q. Hammons has officially unveiled plans for a waterfront hotel at Lake of the Ozarks, set to open in spring 2010.

The 15-story, 320-room hotel, which Springfield Business Journal first reported on in December, will be called Chateau on Lake of the Ozarks, located in Osage Beach. It will be situated on 30 acres near the Grand Glaize Bridge.

The property will feature a spa and more than 100,000 square feet of meeting space, including a 40,000-square-foot ballroom and 22 smaller meeting spaces.

“We’ve been considering Lake of the Ozarks as a prime destination for many years,” Hammons said in a news release. “The time is right to build a luxury, convention center hotel to meet demand and supplement the current supply for potential economic growth to the area.”

This will be Hammons’ 14th Missouri property and will be managed by Springfield-based John Q. Hammons Hotels & Resorts LLC. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2008.

Hammons also announced he will hold a news conference Friday morning to detail his plans for a downtown Springfield development.

Hammons had been in the running to develop a five-story office building on vacant downtown land between the Springfield Expo Center and the Jordan Valley Car Park until Monday, when the city voted to consider two other proposals for the lot.
