Inside An Artful Hotel in Fort Worth By Rottet Studio

2024 Best of Year Winner for Chain Hotel

With the Kimbell Art Museum, Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, and Amon Carter Museum of Art, Fort Worth, Texas, has become a cultural destination, and the 200-key, 216,000-square-foot Crescent Hotel by Rottet Studio reflects that. The lobby forges the strongest connection with its artful neighbors. Gallery-esque white walls are ample enough to accommodate large-scale canvases—by Madeline Peckenpaugh, Carolyn Salas, and Mònica Subidé, from the hotel’s impressive contemporary collection—which provide much of the color. Envelope materials include limestone, faceted plaster, Calacatta Vision marble, and white oak. F&B spaces are critical, too, as the Crescent is centered around private functions; among the standouts is the Circle Bar and the Blue Room. In guest rooms, the size of closets and built-in storage was maximized, all of it and headboards faced in sophisticated Koto veneer.
