This small boutique hotel and its eponymous gourmet restaurant occupy two renovated early-20th-century Downtown buildings. Luxe Italian Frette linens and plush duvets dress the beds; coffee is delivered to each room every morning, and cookies are left during turn-down service. The Ashton is only one block from Sundance Square entertainment and restaurants, two blocks from the stunning Bass Performance Hall, and seven minutes' drive from Fort Worth's Museum District.
Bass Performance Hall is across the street from this all-suites hotel. Guests can easily walk to the Convention Center, Fort Worth Water Gardens, and the shops and restaurants in Sundance Square. The hotel hosts a two-hour guest reception each evening. All rooms include 32-inch plasma HDTVs, refrigerators, and microwave ovens.
This three-story B&B is named for Etta Place, the girlfriend of the Sundance Kid. It originally served as living quarters for traveling artists who performed at Caravan of Dreams (now Reata restaurant) at Sundance Square (which is just around the corner) during the 1980s. A handsome music room has a baby grand Steinway. Smoking is not permitted. Some rooms have refrigerators. The honeymoon suite has a Jacuzzi tub for two.
A storybook place that's seen more than its share of cowboys, rustlers, gangsters, and oil barons, this hotel has been used in many a movie. If you're visiting the Stockyards, take a moment to walk through the 1907 hotel's richly appointed lobby (even if you're not a guest), sit a spell on comfy leather sofas and upholstered chairs, and watch folks walk down Exchange Avenue. There are four styles of rooms to choose from: Victorian, Native American, Mountain Man, and Western. In the Booger Red Saloon, the bar stools are saddles.
President John F. Kennedy and first lady Jacqueline Kennedy spent their last night together in this hotel, a national historic landmark. The property is popular with business travelers; it's located near the Convention Center and Sundance Square. You'll be among families and tourists on weekends.
Once a prim little inn, then a raucous bordello, this place above the Star Café has been reincarnated as a unique B&B. Each room is different, but all are furnished with Old West antiques. Only one has a private bath; guests in other rooms share three bathrooms. Folks say Miss Molly's is haunted by friendly ghosts, which scares some guests away and attracts others. While there is no policy excluding children as guests, families with children under 10 are discouraged from staying here.
This 12-story, white-concrete structure stretches along two city blocks in the middle of Downtown Fort Worth near Sundance Square. The Texas-sized lobby is outfitted in elegant reds and blues and establishes the upscale, slightly Western atmosphere found throughout the property. Rooms are outfitted with luxury linens, and many have excellent views of Downtown Fort Worth, just steps outside the massive entry.
You can drive from this clean all-suites hotel to Fort Worth's Cultural District in about three minutes; complimentary transportation delivers guests to the Cultural District and Downtown. The hotel draws praise for its spacious rooms and friendly customer service. Rates are adjusted for longer stays. An outdoor sports court, near the heated outdoor pool, offers space for basketball.
