Description: Sitting on the bricked stretch of Main Street a block from Sundance Square, this vintage (circa 1890) office building has been converted to become Fort Worth’s first boutique hotel. The 39 oversized guest rooms and suites come equipped with the signature Ashton king-size beds, complimentary wireless, sitting and work areas, Bose stereo systems and iPod docking stations, and Gilchrist & Soames bath products. The signature suites have living rooms, perfect for entertaining. The hotel welcomes small pets; ask about deposit fees. There’s a small selection of meeting rooms. Off the lobby, the new 610 Grille serves contemporary American cuisine, and a small bar serves as a good place to unwind at day’s end. Afternoon tea is a specialty here, and art fans will appreciate the collection of paintings from the Fort Worth Circle, a group of local artists working between the 1930s and 1960s.
