Hilton Fort Worth

Frommer's Review

This large, historic, and centrally located hotel -- opened in 1921 as the Texas Hotel and where JFK spent the night before and was memorably photographed on the morning of his assassination in Dallas -- was recently renovated and incorporated into the Hilton family. The badly needed, $9-million makeover, which jettisoned an adjacent annex, has transformed this hotel from a dowdy also-ran to one of the top large hotels in downtown Fort Worth. Behind a beautiful old brick facade is a soaring, impressive lobby; guest rooms are now swank and serene, with handsome (even masculine) color schemes, elegant furnishings, and plush bedding. Bathrooms have also been overhauled. Though the hotel has long been popular with groups, conventioneers, and other visiting businesspeople, it is now a superb place to stay for virtually anyone visiting Fort Worth (and children stay free when occupying their parents' room), and it's a good value for this level of sophistication, style, and convenience to Sundance Square's lively restaurants and bars. Look for a new restaurant soon to complement the casual Texas Café.
