Downtown Fort Worth Hotels: Skyline Views and City Vibes
Visiting Downtown Fort Worth is a must when you’re in Fort Worth. It’s also one of the best areas to stay, offering a plethora of options around Sundance Square. I’ve included my top picks if you find yourself looking for Downtown Fort Worth hotels.
The Ashton Hotel
This boutique gem serves historic glamour with all the modern perks you need. Built in 1915 with just 39 rooms, it feels both exclusive and quaint. The hotel features the sophisticated Six 10 Grille with a full-service restaurant and bar. If you find yourself there on the weekend, you can not miss the high tea service. Pure elegance. Choose from traditional guest rooms, luxury suites with separate living areas and some offering jacuzzis, allergen-free Wellness rooms. An onsite fitness center is available for guests. It’s not pet-friendly, so leave the pooch at home. Location-wise, you’re steps from Sundance Square and all the downtown action.
My husband and I spent a night there over the Christmas holidays a couple of years ago, and fell in love with this gem of a hotel. There’s such care that goes into every detail. You won’t regret a stay at the Ashton.
Omni Fort Worth
Texas-sized luxury with amenities that’ll make you want to move in permanently. Their rooftop pool offers downtown views that’ll upgrade your Instagram game, and Cast Iron Restaurant serves Texas cuisine that’s worth skipping your diet for. The spa? Pure bliss. They offer multiple room types, including luxury suites with skyline views. Pet friendly (for a fee), 24-hour fitness center, and a location that puts you right in the heart of everything.
Bowie House
The new kid on the block bringing serious style to Fort Worth. Auberge Hotels are known for being ultra-luxe. The Bricks and Horses restaurant, the Bar at Bowie House, and their cozy yet luxurious spaces, like the Mulberry Room and the Billet Room, are their own destinations. Guest rooms feature custom furnishings and luxe details that’ll make you feel like Texas royalty. They really thought of everything. The outdoor pool and garden area? Perfect for those warm Fort Worth evenings and seemingly endless summer days. Not pet-friendly (keeping it fancy), but they make up for it with impeccable service and attention to detail.
The Sinclair, Autograph Collection
Ever wondered what happens when Art Deco meets high tech? The Sinclair is your answer! This architectural icon turned smart hotel features some of the most tech-savvy rooms in Texas. We’re talking smart mirrors, app-controlled everything, and lighting that adapts to your mood. Their rooftop bar, Wicked Butcher restaurant, and 24-hour fitness center keep you living your best life. The rooms? Imagine 1920s glamour with 2024 convenience. Not pet-friendly, but they make up for it with style for days.
Note: This is my favorite fancy date night spot in Fort Worth! If you’re looking for the best spot for a drink and unforgettable dinner while in Fort Worth, can’t miss the Wicked Butcher at The Sinclair.
Kimpton Harper
Personality plus style in every corner. This historic 1921 building celebrates the history of Fort Worth while capitalizing on modern style. Their Refinery 714 rooftop lounge offers city views that pair perfectly with their craft cocktails. You can also indulge in house-made pasta at Il Modo. All guest rooms feature luxury Frette linens and Ateiler Bloem bath amenities. Pet friendly with zero fees (yes, really!), evening social hour, and a 24-hour fitness center. There’s a reason this hotel is listed in the Michelin Guide.
The Worthington Renaissance
Talk about Fort Worth royalty! This grande dame of downtown hotels knows how to treat you right. Toro Toro, their Pan-Latin steakhouse, is worth the visit alone. The recently renovated rooms give you that perfect blend of Texas charm and modern luxury. Pet friendly (up to 75 pounds!), indoor pool, spectacular Sundance Square views, and a lobby that’s basically the living room of downtown Fort Worth.
We recently visited for my birthday with an unexpected upgrade to a one-bedroom suite and a 4 pm late check-out. Every aspect of our visit was spectacular, just like you’d expect from the Worthington.
Pro tip: Their Club Level rooms include access to a private lounge with a complimentary breakfast buffet (delish!) and evening appetizers and non-alcoholic beverages.
Hilton Fort Worth
History meets modern comfort at this downtown landmark. Most famous as JFK’s last stop before Dallas, this hotel balances its historic significance with contemporary amenities. Their recently renovated rooms offer Hilton’s signature comfort with city views worth bragging about. Cafe Texas serves breakfast and lunch, while Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse handles dinner in style. Executive floor rooms include lounge access with free breakfast and evening appetizers. Pet friendly (under 75 pounds), fitness center, and a location that puts you steps from Sundance Square. The hotel offers suite options and some rooms feature corner views that showcase downtown Fort Worth. Bonus: their newly refreshed lobby is a perfect meeting spot for both business and pleasure.
Courtyard Blackstone
History buffs, this one’s for you! The Blackstone has been turning heads since 1929, and their recent renovation keeps the glamour while adding modern perks. Spend the day catching rays at the rooftop pool. The Corner Bakery and lobby bar keep you caffeinated and content. Rooms feature city views that’ll make your Instagram followers jealous. Pets are allowed for a fee but be prepared to walk a couple of blocks to find some grass for Fido’s potty breaks.
Aloft Downtown
Fresh and modern hotel that’s always buzzing! Their WXYZ bar hosts live music that’ll keep you from having to wander far from the hotel for entertainment. Rooms boast that urban loft vibe with high ceilings and views of the city. There are no suites and rooms can accommodate no more than 4 people, so large families would have to spring for a couple of rooms.
The indoor splash pool is perfect for any time of the year, and their free coffee and Re:fuel grab-and-go keeps you energized 24/7. Pet friendly (only $25/ pet), and their location puts you steps from all the downtown action. Definitely one of the more affordable yet really fun hotels Downtown, especially if you’re traveling with pets.
Embassy Suites Downtown
Space, style, and free breakfast? Yes, please! Every room is a suite (hence the name), giving you room to spread out and live your best life. This an ideal hotel for traveling families! Their nightly manager’s reception means free drinks and snacks (you’re welcome). Indoor pool, fitness center, and a location that puts you in the heart of everything. It’s a pet-friendly space ($75 for stays of 1-4 days; $125 for longer stays). And their cooked-to-order breakfast will make you a morning person. You work off all that bacon in the on-site fitness center.
Stockyards Fort Worth Hotels: Western Heritage, Modern Comfort
For a taste of real Cowtown History, choose a place to stay in the Stockyards Historic District. From Mule Alley to the Billy Bobs, you’ll love your Stockyards stay.
Hotel Drover
Ranch life gets a luxury makeover here in Mule Alley. This is probably the most famous hotel in Fort Worth. Their 97 West Kitchen & Bar serves up elevated Texas cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the outdoor space includes fire pits perfect for evening s’mores. Pet friendly (they love your four-legged cowpokes), multiple suite options, and a pool that seriously feels like a desert oasis. The lobby bar’s craft cocktails will make you forget about your usual drinks order. In the cooler months cozy up their uber comfortable seating by blazing stone fireplaces with a warm drink from the lobby bar.
Springhill Suites Stockyards
Smart, stylish, and surprisingly spacious. This is my favorite Stockyards Hotel if you’re looking to capitalize on comfort, style, and price. All rooms are suites (hello, extra space and sleeping space for 5 people!), and they include free breakfast that’s actually worth waking up for. The outdoor pool feels private and quiet. No pets are allowed so leave the critters at home. The location puts you steps from the daily cattle drive and Mule Alley. Enjoy dinner with a view at Chef Tim Love’s award-winning rooftop tapas bar Atico.
We staycationed for my daughter’s birthday in the summer and had the best time swimming, relaxing and enjoying the Stockyards.
Added bonus: Affordable parking at $15 a day, which is pretty cheap for the Stockyards.
Cultural District Fort Worth Hotels: Vibrant and Modern
The Fort Worth Cultural District offers art, music, dining, shopping experiences, and nature for guests with a little more privacy and quiet than other areas of town.
The Crescent
Upscale comfort meets downtown convenience. Their rooms feature smart TVs, luxury linens, and views that remind you why you love city life. The hotel restaurant Emilia’s serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner (not included, but worth the splurge). Stop in for brunch on the weekends, complete with live music and a mimosa trolley (Could life be any better?!) Fitness center, business center, and meeting spaces make it perfect for business travelers who like their comfort with a side of style. And it’s literally steps from several museums and a plethora of restaurants.
Hotel Dryce
Industrial chic meets Texan soul in the Cultural District– former dry ice warehouse, now a 21-room boutique hotel. Bar Dryce has become a local favorite, serving creative cocktails and good vibes with a DJ on the weekends. Grab a meal from the food truck, and a drink from the bar and enjoy this locally-owned favorite. The location puts you within walking distance from Dickies Arena and the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo and a short drive to museums. No pool, but their social spaces and location more than makeup for it.
Hotel Revel
Another boutique beauty has joined Fort Worth’s hotel scene. The Hotel Revel serves up a style that draws both travelers and locals. Savor a cocktail at Sugarman’s speakeasy-inspired lounge and stay for the sunset on the SkyDeck, with fabulous Fort Worth views. Rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows, local art, premium linens, and thoughtful touches like Nespresso machines. Pets aren’t allowed, but with digs this nice, you won’t be sad about it. And the free parking is almost unheard of. The location puts you steps from Magnolia Avenue and is only minutes from both the museum district and downtown.
Hotel Otto
Chef Tim Love is bringing Amalfi Coast vibes to the River District section of the Cultural District. This is the most unique hotel experience in Fort Worth! Their shipping containers turned bungalows create a micro resort experience. Rooms have luxurious linens, Hermès bath amenities, in-room coffee and bar, and a daily complimentary cocktail hour.
Outdoors you can take in Trinity River and garden views from the deck or lounge poolside in a personal cabana. You’re steps from the Trinity Trails and all it has to offer. The hotel’s award-winning restaurant Gemelle serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a focus on local ingredients. And you can’t leave without an Aperol Spritz.

Pro Tip: Ask your Guest Experience Manager about available activities, including electric bike rental and tours.
