A public hearing will be held Tuesday in Glastonbury to discuss a Massachusetts-based developer’s proposal to build a 131-room Marriott hotel within Somerset Square.

Plans show an LLC owned by The Claremont Company, of Bridgewater, Mass., is proposing to build a four-story, 131-unit hotel with 144 parking spaces at 75 Glastonbury Blvd. The site is located just south of the Hilton Garden Inn and Hilton Homewood Suites -- also owned by Claremont -- that overlooks Route 3 to the north.

Claremont acquired the property in June 2016 for $3 million, according to the town’s assessor’s office.

The town’s Planning and Zoning Commission scheduled a public hearing for 7 p.m. at Town Hall to continue discussions over the plan, which has changed several times over the years. 

In 2008, the town approved the former property owner’s proposal for a 155-unit apartment complex at the site, but the plan was later scrapped.

The latest proposal by Claremont is a scaled-down version of a proposed 141-room hotel considered by the town earlier this year. In January, town officials questioned whether the hotel would conform with the surrounding commercial neighborhood, meeting minutes show.

If voted on and approved by zoning officials on Tuesday, the Town Council would still need to greenlight the project before construction starts.
