Loews Hotels & Co, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Loews Corporation, has opened the Loews Arlington Hotel and Convention Center. The property is Loews’ second in Arlington, TX.
Located between Dallas and Fort Worth, and about 14 miles from the DFW International Airport, the 21-story resort features 888 guestrooms and luxury suites; 266,000 sq. ft. of indoor/outdoor meeting and convention space; five restaurants and lounges; a full-service spa and salon; and a resort-style beach club with two pools, cabanas, fire pits, a water slide and a man-made sandy beach.
“This opening marks a new day for the meetings and events business in North Texas with the addition of a new resort in the sports and entertainment capital of the world,” said Alex Tisch, president/CEO, Loews Hotels & Co. “We anticipate to fill the hotel with sports enthusiasts and entertainment fans during game days and concerts, and the rest of the time, with corporations, associations and incentive groups, who will enjoy some of the best meeting space in America.”
Loews Hotels & Co worked with HKS as the architect and Looney & Associates on the interior design for this new hotel. The property was built by JE Dunn, who built the Loews Kansas City Hotel, which opened in June 2020. Arlington’s Con-Real and Nehmer were also involved in the development of the project.
The resort is situated between two sports stadiums, Globe Life Field and AT&T Stadium, and is connected to the new Arlington Convention Center, which is also operated by Loews Hotels & Co. The property is part of phase two of the development of Arlington’s Entertainment District.
“Sporting events, theme parks, great food and live entertainment—the new Loews Arlington and Convention Center puts visitors right in the heart of everything our vibrant Entertainment District has to offer,” said Arlington Mayor Jim Ross. “With its prime location, premium amenities and more than a quarter-million sq. ft. of meeting space, this venue gives Arlington a competitive edge over other major event and convention centers across the country. We appreciate the commitment from our partners, Loews Hotels & Co and the Texas Rangers, for their continued work to elevate Arlington’s reputation as a premiere sports and tourism destination.”
Ray Davis, managing partner/majority owner, Texas Rangers, said, “As the new Loews Arlington and Convention Center opens its doors, this area increases its capacity to host some of the country’s biggest sports and entertainment events, as well as major conventions. The Rangers are proud the majority of the events and activations for the 2024 Major League All-Star Game in July will take right here in the Entertainment District. I congratulate our great partners, Loews Hotels & Co. and the City of Arlington, for all of their efforts in the construction of this spectacular facility.”
