Description
Listed on the State of Texas Register of Historic Places and the National Trust and recognized by the Historic Hotels of America, Fort Worth's legendary Stockyards Hotel has been making guests welcome since first opening its doors more than 90 years ago.
Erected by Colonel William Thannisch at the corner of Main and Exchange Streets in 1907, the hotel was often home in its early days to cattle barons and their families as well as traveling cowboys, merchants and foreign dignitaries. Later known as the Chandler Hotel and the Plaza Hotel, the property served as a popular hang-out for cowboys and ranchers. Rooms were inexpensive, and each floor offered bathrooms shared by occupants.
In 1984, the hotel was completely renovated by then-owners Tom Yater and Marshall Young. Young and Yater created the 52-room layout of suites and sleeping rooms still in use today.
Purchased by BFX Hospitality Group in 1996, the Stockyards Hotel once again underwent another extensive two year renovation to create the quietly elegant, well-appointed ambiance enjoyed by travelers from around the world. All sleeping rooms are uniquely fashioned in one of four period decors: Victorian, Mountain Man, Cowboy or Native American.
The spacious lobby of The Stockyards Hotels is beautifully appointed with comfortable furniture, antiques and objects d¿art that create an elegant Old West ambiance. Look closely at the carpeting in the hotel's common areas and you'll find that it contains a Texas longhorn in the design. The pattern was created exclusively for the Stockyards Hotel and specially milled in Scotland.
