New hotel coming to Porters Neck

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — By next summer a new hotel will be open in Porter’s Neck.

Construction is underway on a Holiday Inn Express on Porters Neck Road.

Once the concrete slab is poured, the hotel should be ready within 12 months, according to Barry Eagle with Crown Hotel and Travel Management.

The four-story hotel will have 103 rooms and a full brick facade.

Eagle said they chose this spot because its one of the last pockets of Wilmington that doesn’t have a hotel, and this will accommodate those in the northern part of New Hanover County and Hampstead.
