Stockyards Hotel Review

A true taste of the Old West, the Stockyards Hotel has, since 1907, been the heart of Fort Worth's illustrious cowboy and railroad past (the original hotel was destroyed by fire in 1915). Bonnie and Clyde hid out here, Wild West poker games and gunslinging fights went down here, and country music stars have come to perform at nearby Billy Bob's. Behind the historic brick facade, each of the rooms works a different aspect of an Old West theme. You can stay in the Davy Crockett, Geronimo, or Victorian Parlor room, or sleep where Bonnie and Clyde did in the early '30s (that's cool enough to make it my favorite). The Stockyards Hotel gets the look and feel right: It's not a stretch to imagine cowboys riding up in a cloud of dust and tying their horses up to the posts out front, making it the ideal place to stay in Fort Worth for a real Western experience. The connected restaurant is the H3 Ranch Steakhouse, just a notch below the Cattlemen's Steakhouse around the corner, but a good place for wood-fired steaks, ribs, and spit-roasted pork and chicken. The bar, with horse-saddle bar stools, is called Booger Red's Saloon (where you can knock back a cold Buffalo Butt beer).

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
