Loews Hotels & Co. has announced the recent opening of Loews Arlington Hotel and Convention Center. The hotel is Loews’ second and largest hotel in Arlington, Texas.
Loews Arlington Hotel is a full-service meetings, events, and resort destination that caters to groups of all sizes and families looking for a world-class resort experience. Centrally located between Dallas and Fort Worth, and just 10 minutes from the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, the 21-story resort features 888 guest rooms and luxury suites.
The resort is between two iconic sports stadiums: Globe Life Field, home to the 2023 World Series Champion Texas Rangers, and AT&T Stadium, home to the Dallas Cowboys. It is also connected to the new Arlington Convention Center which is also operated by Loews Hotels & Co and the existing 300 room Live! By Loews Hotel.
Collectively, the Loews complex in Arlington will have 1,188 rooms and close to 300,000 square feet of meeting space.
“This opening marks a new day for the meetings and events business in north Texas with the addition of a new resort in the sports and entertainment capital of the world,” says Alex Tisch, president/CEO of Loews Hotels & Co. “We anticipate to fill the hotel with sports enthusiasts and entertainment fans during game days and concerts, and the rest of the time, with corporations, associations, and incentive groups, who will enjoy some of the best meeting space in America.”
The property boasts 266,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor meeting and convention space, including the expansive Event lawn and the largest hotel ballroom in North Texas at 51,000 square feet. Additional meeting rooms range in size from big to small and can accommodate groups of up to 5,000 guests.
Loews Arlington Hotel has five new restaurants and lounges including Farena, the three-meal Italian restaurant boasting two wood-fired stone pizza ovens and a Pasta Lab with fresh pasta made in-house daily. Additional dining options include Veranda, an al fresco extension of Farena located under a covered patio; Tomar El Sol, which embraces the restaurant’s poolside location; Railbird, an artisanal market, and coffee shop; and a lobby bar and lounge. Soy Cowboy, a pan-Asian fusion concept will debut in summer 2024.
Guests can enjoy amenities including a full-service spa and salon, a resort-style beach club with two pools, cabanas, fire pits, a water slide, and a manmade sandy beach.
To commemorate the opening of Loews Arlington, Loews commissioned Arlington-based artist and educator, Justin Ginsberg, to create a glass-blown sculpture. Ginsberg is the assistant chair and glass area coordinator in the Art History Department and an assistant professor at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). His work has been featured in museums around the country including his most recent solo exhibition, Sky Column: Shaking the Shadow, at The Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth, Texas. The state-of-the-art studio space in which the Loews sculpture was created and where Ginsberg teaches UTA students in the glass program, is well-known for being the largest glass-blowing educational studio in the country.
Entitled, Loews Loves Arlington, the sculpture will be on display permanently in the Library of the Loews Arlington lobby for guests and locals to view.
