After more than two years of construction, downtown Dallas’ new JW Marriott Hotel has opened its doors as the brand’s first in North Texas.
The 267-room, 15-story hotel is at Ross Avenue and Harwood Street across from the Arts District. The project was developed by Plano’s Sam Moon Group.
“We are excited to bring JW Marriott’s legacy of extraordinary hospitality, thoughtful design and enriching experiences to the Dallas Arts District,” the hotel brand’s Bruce Rohr said in a statement. “Much like the introspective way guests explore the hotel’s neighboring cultural institutions, JW Marriott Dallas Arts District will provide travelers with even more ways to enjoy every moment to the fullest and find inspiration and moments of mindfulness during their stay.”
The luxury hotel has three restaurants, a fitness center and more than 20,000 square feet of meeting space. An upper-level swimming pool deck overlooks the Arts District.
The hotel is decorated with more than 20 original artworks.
Dallas architect HKS designed the building and Looney & Associates did the interiors. DPR Construction was the project general contractor.
“Our expert associates look forward with great anticipation to welcoming our guests and surpassing their expectations for warm, inviting luxury in this cultural hub neighborhood,” said Mike Culver, general manager.
The JW Marriott is the third North Texas hotel built by Sam Moon Group. The company developed the almost $100 million Legacy West Renaissance Hotel in Plano that just recently sold to Dallas and Hong Kong buyers.
Sam Moon Group also built the 303-room Hyatt Regency Stonebriar in Frisco.
The JW Marriott is the second luxury hotel to open in Dallas-Fort Worth this year. The $520 million Omni PGA Frisco Resort opened in May.
A $750 million Four Seasons Hotel and condominiums is planned in a tower on Dallas’ Turtle Creek. Crescent Hotel Fort Worth also is expected to open in September in the city’s cultural district.
