HOUSTON, August 17, 2009 — Midway Companies, a Houston-based privately owned, fully integrated real estate development and investment firm, announced today that Hotel Sorella^SM, an innovative luxury hotel concept from Valencia Group, is now open at CITYCENTRE. Brad Freels, chairman and CEO of Midway Companies, made the announcement.

The Italian-inspired 244-room luxury hotel features a unique, Moroccan-style bar featuring a central fireplace, active seating and a starlit ceiling, as well as an exclusive spa and fitness center. The modern outdoor pool is appointed with daybeds, lanterns and draped cabanas. Hotel Sorella^SM dining options include Café Rosé and Bistro Alex, two exciting new restaurant concepts from noted restaurateur Alex Brennan-Martin.

Each of the 244 rooms, including 30 junior suites and one penthouse suite, include walk-in showers, floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood floors and a custom Hotel Sorella^SM bed. The junior suites offer 520-square-feet of spacious elegance, and the penthouse suite is 1,200-square-feet with views overlooking CITYCENTRE’s Central Plaza.

“We are thrilled that the highly-anticipated opening of Hotel Sorella^SM has officially arrived,” said Freels. “The sophisticated hotel is a perfect complement to CITYCENTRE’s unique, elegant blend of tenants and uses.”

CITYCENTRE is a $500 million development and covers 1.8 million square feet. The new center reflects the next generation of mixed-use development and will be a distinct blend of elegant retail shops, fine dining, state-of-the art offices, distinct metropolitan homes and world-class hospitality, all in one 37-acre pedestrian-oriented environment.
