Kimpton Fort Worth

Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants announced today it will open a boutique hotel in downtown Fort Worth, an adaptive reuse of the historic XTO Energy Headquarters building. The new Kimpton Hotel is set to open in the spring of 2021 and will mark the third property for the boutique hotel company in Texas, joining Kimpton hotels in Austin and a Dallas project slated to open this summer.

The new Kimpton hotel in Fort Worth will house 232 guestrooms, a signature Italian restaurant, 10,000 square feet of meeting space, a two-story grand ballroom and a Penthouse Sky Bar with expansive city views. Guests will enjoy artfully designed spaces along with Kimpton's signature amenities that include evening social hour, morning coffee service and complimentary bicycles.

The nearly-century old building is located in the bustling Central Business District of downtown Fort Worth, near several city favorites like the Fort Worth Convention Center, the Sundance Square entertainment and retail district and Bass Performance Hall. Key financial offices including Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Charles Schwab, will also be in close proximity.

The building was originally built as the Farmers and Mechanics National Bank building in 1921 and once held the distinction as the tallest building west of the Mississippi River. XTO Energy carefully restored the building to its original architectural design in 2010. This historical preservation highlights Kimpton's commitment to adaptive reuse, mirroring recent projects that showcase the company's pioneering efforts in this area. Examples include The Kimpton Hotel Fontenot in New Orleans, the Kimpton Hotel Arras Hotel in Asheville, North Carolina and the Kimpton Gray in Chicago.

Fort Worth's Bennet Benner Partners Architects and Los Angeles based Forcheilli Glynn interior designers will oversee the project, alongside Kimpton's Global Senior Vice President of Design Ave Bradley.
