Expected to be operational in late-2016, the new hotel will include a ground-floor restaurant and retail, 4,000ft² of meeting space, first-class pool, rooftop bar and on-site parking.
With 82 double king rooms, 66 kings and 25 suites, the company is planning an all-king concept for the property.
According to Rockbridge, the property is being developed on the site of the oldest bottleworks factory in America, and will integrate historic bricks and bottles from the site in the development.
