A hotel for the ‘ambitious traveler’ may be coming to the Fort Worth Stockyards
Fort Worth’s premier entertainment district may be getting a new place for visitors to kick off their boots and rest their heads.
Wisconsin-based Raymond Management wants to build a five-story hotel and adjoining two-and-a-half-story parking garage near the Fort Worth Stockyards.
The Tempo by Hilton hotel would be at 2219 N. Main St., have 138 rooms and around 150 parking spaces, according to plans submitted to the city of Fort Worth’s permitting website.
This would be Fort Worth’s second Tempo by Hilton hotel after the 155-room hotel currently being developed in the Near Southside.
The parking garage will be accessible through the hotel entrance on North Main Street, and will be branded with images of cowboys and other Western motifs, according to renderings submitted to the city.
The lot on North Main Street that would be used for the hotel is currently home to an auto body shop that will be demolished to make way for the hotel, according to documents submitted to the city.
The lot on Ellis — where the parking garage would be — is empty.
Hilton advertises its Tempo brand as a “stylish, contemporary experience that matches the momentum of active, ambitious travelers,” according to a fact sheet on the company’s website.
The rooms are designed for comfort and wellness, some coming with an in-room Peloton workout bicycle.
Hilton currently has 10 Tempo-branded hotels, including two in Nashville, Tennessee, one in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, near Dollywood, and others in New York City, Georgia, Kentucky, California, and two in the Washington, D.C., area.
Raymond Hotel Management is no stranger to building hotels in Fort Worth.
The company runs the Hampton Inn & Suites in downtown, the Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites in the Medical District, and the Residence Inn in the Waterside Development near Clearfork.
It’s also currently developing the Springhill Suites by Marriott in at the corner of South Main Street and East Vickery Boulevard in the Near Southside.
The proposed Tempo hotel won’t just cater to visitors to the for the Stockyards, but also the nearby Historic Northside neighborhood, said David Emerich, Raymond Management Company’s chief development officer, in a phone call with the Star-Telegram.
He noted his company has had productive conversations with the Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the nonprofit advocacy groups the Historic Northside District, and Fort Worth Stockyards Inc.
The project will bring Raymond Management Company’s brand of hospitality to the Stockyards and Historic Northside, and the company is excited to do that, Emerich said.
