Courtyard Fort Worth Downtown/Blackstone

This place is more than just a familiar chain hotel. In 1998, Marriott acquired and remodeled the famous Blackstone Hotel, one of Fort Worth's great historic buildings. The original hotel was a 22-story Art Deco skyscraper. While the original interior was gutted, the terra cotta exterior has been kept almost entirely intact. This historic hotel has housed such luminaries as Richard Nixon, John Wayne and Elvis Presley. The hotel retains all the practical luxuries expected by the contemporary business traveler. While there are six other Courtyard by Marriott locations in the Metroplex, only the Blackstone is unique in its history and decoration.
