“Perfect spot for Fort Worth Main Street Arts Festival and any downtown celebration!”

Had a wonderful visit. The updates throughout the property are lovely and nicely reflect the Cowtown point of view. Front desk staff friendly and efficient! Valet was so helpful and kind, and he gave me excellent advice to navigate the festival blockages. Could not have been more perfectly situated to enjoy the arts festival. Room was clean and organized even though it was cozy. Fabulous view, comfy bed, fridge and microwave, I’ll be back for FW Staycations!

“Fantastic for toursim or business travelers with a real touch of class”

This is one of Fort Worth’s finest properties, and a great spot for either business or tourism. I can remember being here for the Bicentennial in 1976 as a big teenager, and I liked it then. Downtown Fort Worth sort of left the station, and by 1981 there was virtually no living business down there … lisää

This is one of Fort Worth’s finest properties, and a great spot for either business or tourism. I can remember being here for the Bicentennial in 1976 as a big teenager, and I liked it then. Downtown Fort Worth sort of left the station, and by 1981 there was virtually no living business down there and this building was shuttered. It sat there boarded up until 1999 when the city and Mariott agreed to a joint funding venture to bring it forward and make it the show place it is today. There rooms are Mariott quality, including the beds, towels, sheets, and all those pieces one gets with a lodging room. I’ve stayed there and put my family down there mainly for the nostalgia included with your room and the views. In 2000, when Mother Nature decided to urban renew downtown with a tornado, this building made it without any significant damage. Their lobby is stunning, and there are remains there of the way we were with their beautiful staircase to nothing. They have an elevator garage for your car that has easy access, and on the top of it is a very serene pool and associated paraphernalia, and a fantastic place to escape the city for a lunch break, or just to relax. Hilton added the parking annex, and this pool in the 1950’s but it’s an amazingly quiet place with the hubbub of the city going on below. The building is old, being constructed in the 1920’s, but nothing inside of it isn’t plenty new in perfect condition. On the stair-step rooftop are 4 suite rooms with doors that open out onto the roof to find a beautiful patio/balcony type affair for the guest to have drinks, a meal, or just to stand there and view the city, however it’s recommended that when we’re hosting tornados the guest stay in the building. History indicates this is where the votes were counted and ratified in 1948 allowing LBJ his first senate seat. Some of their rooms have unusual shapes typical of a 1920’s building, but all of them are up to Mariott quality every time. Somewhere in the past, the building was host to a radio station, where the studios were in the little room on the topmost floor. I’ve had lunch with the Corner Bakery a lot more often than renting the rooms, but it’s always a pleasure to visit this place. They’re going to charge you for parking, and I don’t think there’s any space for self-park, but there are plenty of paid self-parking lots very close. It has great accesses to the convention center, government buildings, and anywhere in downtown where there is always visible private security guards running around on bicycles, keeping the whole area a safe, walkable area at any hour on any day. I don’t use them a lot because I own a home here, but I am forever a pitchman for the place, and had lunch with them countless work days. It sat there boarded up, waiting for an arsonist to set it on fire from 1981-1999, and that never happened. Give these people a try, because you’ll like the quality and service in a elegant setting remaining from a day gone by.
