FORT WORTH, Texas – The Sheraton Fort Worth Downtown has started an extensive transformation that officials say will “create a much brighter and more guest-friendly hotel.”
The $45 million transformation–one of the largest-ever hotel renovations in the Fort Worth region–will include a redesigned entryway, additional suites, several new workspace studios ideal for small meetings, and West+Stone, a signature restaurant bar that will serve breakfast to late-night dinner. Another addition is More by Sheraton, which offers an all-day menu and assorted beverages for in-hotel dining or takeaway.
Construction is taking place in phases, allowing the twin-tower hotel and its conference space to remain open with minimal impact on guests. It is expected to be completed in the fall of 2023.
“We are, in essence, building a brand-new hotel,” says general manager Damien O’Connor, who joined the hotel in 2022. “Our goal is to provide a first-rate experience for guests to meet, work, and relax.”
“We are very excited about the significant renovation project underway at the Sheraton Fort Worth and the investment in the future of the hotel and our community,” says Robert Jameson, president and CEO of Visit Fort Worth.
The almost 30,000 square feet of conference space located on the second floor–including a large ballroom–is also part of the transformation, and includes new carpet, lighting, furniture, and the latest audio-visual technology to allow for presentations and video playback. The spaces are adaptable to meet the needs of small, large, and multi-room events.
Entering one of the newly modernized 403 rooms, guests will find platform beds, 55 in. televisions, adjustable worktables, numerous charging outlets and power sources, and much larger bathrooms.
After the renovations, The Sheraton Fort Worth Downtown will have 37 suites–compared to the current 25–including three suites with more than 1,000 square feet. The expansive top-floor Trinity Suite will feature a large parlor and two bedrooms with king-sized beds.
The Sheraton Fort Worth Downtown is across the street from the soon-to-be-expanded Fort Worth Convention Center, the Water Gardens, and the new addition to the Texas A&M University Law School. The hotel is a short drive to The Stockyards, the Near Southside neighborhood, Texas Christian University, the Fort Worth Zoo, and the prestigious Colonial Country Club—home to one of the oldest golf tournaments on the PGA TOUR.
