Fort Worth Hotel to Receive $45M Revamp
The Gettys Group Cos., a Chicago-based hotel design and development firm, has started work on the $45 million renovation of the 403-room Sheraton Fort Worth Downtown Hotel. The hotel originally opened in 1974 and also offers 25 suites. The capital improvement program will upgrade all the bedding, furniture and bathrooms of all guestrooms and expand the number of suites to 37.
“We are, in essence, building a brand-new hotel,” said General Manager Damien O’Connor. “Our goal is to provide a first-rate experience for guests to meet, work, and relax.”
In addition, the project team will upgrade the entryway, lobby and amenity spaces, which include private and conference-style workspaces and 30,000 square feet of event space. Lastly, the hotel will introduce a revamped lineup of food-and-beverage offerings. Completion is slated for the fall. Dallas-based HKS Architects designed the renovation. The project will be done in phases to allow the property to stay open during the renovations.
