STOCKYARDS HOTEL

How could we not mention it, the behemoth of the Fort Worth hotel industry, open since 1907 and located in the heart of the Stockyards district? Bonnie & Clyde slept there, as did John Fitzgerald Kennedy (for his last night). Whether you sleep there or not, a small tour in its lobby is worth the trip. It gives a taste of what the rooms can look like, in a typically Texan decor where leather, wood and warm colors are honored. In the common areas, sculptures and paintings are a testament to Texas tradition.
