All-suite hotel is opening near this metro Phoenix airport. Here's what's coming
A Springhill Suites by Marriott will be developed at Ellsworth Road and Gateway Boulevard, Mesa Gateway Executive Director J. Brian O'Neill said in his March 2025 executive director's report.
The five-story, 125-room hotel will be adjacent to a retail and restaurant space in the Gateway East master-planned development near the airport.
O'Neill mentioned the hotel was in the works in a December 2024 interview with The Arizona Republic, but the branding wasn't ready to be made public at the time.
Here's what we know about the Springhill Suites by Marriott opening near Mesa Gateway Airport.
Springhill Suites is a Marriott brand of upper midscale hotels where all the rooms are suites. Upper midscale hotels offer a higher standard of accommodations than standard hotels, but are a step below upscale.
Marriott classifies Springhill Suites as one of its Select brands, which also include Courtyard, Fairfield, Aloft, AC Hotels, Four Points and Moxy.
The hotel is projected to open in fall 2026, airport spokesman Ryan Smith said.
The Springhill Suites near Mesa Gateway Airport will be built in the Gateway East development along Ellsworth Road and Gateway Boulevard.
It will be across the street from Gulfstream's West Coast service center, the Arizona Athletic Grounds and the headquarters for Canadian air cooling company XNRGY.
Officials with Arizona Athletic Grounds and XNRGY, in statements provided in the executive director's report, applauded the addition of the hotel.
"Arizona Athletic Grounds hosts over 400 tournaments and games each year, welcoming more than 2.4 million visitors from across the country," said Meg Stevens, president of Arizona Athletic Grounds. "The new SpringHill Suites hotel, conveniently located just across the street, offers an ideal accommodation option for both teams and spectators."
"XNRGY Climate Systems is excited to welcome the planned SpringHill Suites hotel by Marriott to Gateway East," said Wais Jalali, chairman and CEO of XNRGY Climate Systems. "This hotel and the associated retail development will provide many benefits for our employees and customers as we grow our Arizona operations in Mesa."
The future Springhill Suites will be about 4.5 miles from the Mesa Gateway Airport terminal, according to Google Maps.
It won't be the closest hotel to the airport. These hotels are closer:
Four Points by Sheraton at Phoenix Mesa Gateway Airport, 1.3 miles.
Courtyard Phoenix Mesa Gateway Airport, 1.4 miles.
Holiday Inn Express Inn and Suites Gilbert-Mesa Gateway Airport, 2 miles.
Spark by Hilton East Mesa, 2.4 miles.

Electric Cars Are the Future. VinFast Wants to Make Owning One Effortless
MARKHAM, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- VinFast's strategy in Canada centers on giving owners confidence in their purchases, with its two SUV models backed by an industry-leading 10-year warranty. Today's EVs are safer, smarter and more reliable than ever. Advances in battery technology, onboard software and vehicle design have brought features once exclusive to luxury sedans into the mainstream. Every new model, even in the mid-price segment, offers compelling range, high-resolution touchscreens and advanced driver-assist systems that rival those of long-established brands. Yet the true test of any car comes after the sale. Drivers know that prompt, competent service can make or break long-term satisfaction. A delayed repair or an unresponsive service can quickly turn early enthusiasm into buyer's remorse. And in Canada, a robust warranty and a dependable service network are essentials in a country that spans six time zones and a climate that ranges from bitter cold to scorching heat. VinFast's approach begins with one of the most generous warranty packages the industry offers. Each of its models—the mid-size VF 8 with up to 412 km of range and the full-size VF 9 that seats seven—carries a 10-year or 200,000-kilometre bumper-to-bumper guarantee and a 10-year unlimited-km battery warranty under normal usage. '10-year warranty is definitely the easy decision to pick up the VF8 and additional peace of mind,' said retiree Dien Do, a VF 8 owner. For charging convenience, VinFast has partnered with local networks and integrated its mobile app with 95 percent of public charging stations across North America. The VinFast app provides more public charging options than any other OEM or third-party app, granting owners access to over 100,000 Level 2 AC and DC fast chargers . It also enables users to book service appointments and summon roadside assistance through a single interface. Industry data underline the importance of these measures by VinFast. A 2024 survey by Capgemini Research Institute found that 57 percent of car owners who are unhappy with post-purchase service would consider switching brands within 18 months 1, and nearly 80 percent rank warranties as a key factor in their buying decision 2. By combining class-leading coverage with local service partnerships, VinFast aims to convert these wary customers into lifelong advocates. But VinFast's commitment goes beyond warranties and service accreditation. The company offers software updates for infotainment and driver-assist systems. Whether it's refining the user interface or improving the drive handling or even adding new features, these upgrades keep vehicles performing at their best. For Canadian drivers weighing their first EV purchase, VinFast's model offers a clear proposition: two well-equipped SUVs, one of the strongest warranty packages in the business, and a growing network of service partners across the country. Its focus on after-sales support represents a practical step toward making electric-vehicle ownership as effortless as promised.

Canadian Canola Producers ‘Deeply Disappointed' by China's New Tariffs, Call for Ottawa's Support
Organizations representing Canadian canola producers are raising concerns about the impact of newly announced Chinese tariffs, saying that the latest duties, combined with earlier restrictions imposed this year, have effectively shut Canada out of its second largest canola export market. China's Ministry of Commerce announced on Aug. 12 it would impose 75.8 percent temporary tariffs on Canadian canola, starting on Aug. 14. The tariffs are part of a preliminary ruling from an anti-dumping investigation the regime launched last year, which the ministry says found 'that canola imported from Canada is being dumped,' affecting China's domestic industry. Dumping involves selling products to another country at a price below their normal value.

Museums saw 15 per cent spike in attendance after Canada Strong Pass introduced
OTTAWA — National galleries and museums across the country have seen a 15 per cent increase in attendance so far this summer, after the federal government introduced free or discounted admission through the new Canada Strong Pass. The Canada Strong Pass, which took effect on June 20 and is available until Sept. 2, offers free national museum admission to children 17 and under, and a 50 per cent discount for those aged 18 to 24. The pass also offers free admission to national parks and sites maintained by Parks Canada. Hermine Landry, spokesperson for the office of the minister of Canadian identity and culture, said attendance in July was up 16 per cent over last year at the Canadian Museum of History and the Canadian War Museum. The Canada Agriculture and Food Museum has seen attendance spike by 24 per cent and the National Gallery of Canada has seen an increase of two per cent, she said. The Canadian Museum of Nature has seen an increase of 12 per cent since the launch of the pass, while the Canada Science and Technology Museum has seen a 13 per cent increase and the Canada Aviation and Space Museum has seen a four per cent increase. Some provincial and territorial museums and galleries are also taking part in the program, and the Manitoba Museum reports that its July attendance was up 11 per cent over last year. "We are proud to see the enthusiasm for Canada, especially among families, as discounts on activities and travel can lead to substantial savings," Landry said. "More than ever, we must stand together: The increased attendance at iconic sites across the country is proof of that." Through the Canada Strong Pass, Via Rail is also offering free fares for children 17 and under if they are accompanied by an adult, and a 25 per cent discount for travellers who are 18 to 24 years old. Landry said more than 36,000 Via Rail bookings have been made with the Canada Strong Pass. The Montréal to Toronto route was the most popular, with over 13,000 bookings made, she said. Megan Hope, a spokesperson for Parks Canada, said in an email that free admission is expected to increase the number of people visiting Canada's national parks. However she said statistics for 2025 will not be made available until after the season has ended. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 12, 2025.
