Sandman Hotel Group has opened Sandman Signature Fort Worth Downtown Hotel in the century-old W.T. Waggoner Building. It is the company’s second Signature-branded hotel property in Texas.
Originally constructed in 1920, this 20-story building was known for being the tallest in the State of Texas and the Southwest. The building is u-shaped on the upper floors and is one of the few buildings in Fort Worth to position light toward the front of the building, according to the company. It is part new-build and part adapted-reuse of some of the original 1920 design features, such as its exterior, lobby entrance, towers, banking hall with teller cages and its interior marble finishings.
Owned and operated by Sandman Hotel Group, the hotel features 245 guestrooms with spa-inspired bathrooms, a ground-floor restaurant, a lobby bar, a fitness facility and a multi-use meeting space on the mezzanine.
Tom Gaglardi, CEO, Northland Properties, parent company of Sandman Hotel Group, said, “’The opening of Sandman Signature Fort Worth Downtown Hotel is an exciting addition to our portfolio and strengthens our growth in Texas. Fort Worth offers a vibrant downtown experience rich in culture, history and southern hospitality. We are incredibly proud to be part of this community and delighted to welcome our hotel guests and local restaurant and bar visitors to enjoy a particularly special hospitality experience that encompasses the beautifully designed historical touchpoints of this iconic building.”
