San Francisco-based Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants announced last week that it will begin work on its first Fort Worth project — a boutique hotel in the historic XTO Energy Headquarters building at 714 Main in downtown Fort Worth.

The new Kimpton Hotel is set to open in spring 2021 as the third Texas property for the boutique hotel company, following Austin and Dallas.

“Texas is a natural place to expand our brand,” chief executive officer Mike DeFrino wrote in a news release. “Adding Fort Worth to our portfolio, alongside Austin and Dallas is vital to our growth in the Southwest.”

The new Fort Worth hotel will house 232 guestrooms, an Italian restaurant, 10,000 square feet of meeting space, a two-story grand ballroom, and a Penthouse Sky Bar with expansive city views.

Kimpton’s global senior vice president of design Ave Bradley will collaborate with the Fort Worth-based Bennet Benner Partners Architects and Los Angeles-based Forcheilli Glynn interior design to oversee the project.

Built as the Farmers and Mechanics National Bank building in 1921, it was once named the “Tallest Building West of the Mississippi River,” according to the news release. In 2010, the 24-story building at the corner of Main and 7th streets was restored to its original architectural design by XTO Energy.

Other examples of historic preservation projects that highlight Kimpton’s commitment to adaptive reuse include Hotel Fontenot in New Orleans, the Kimpton Arras Hotel in Asheville, North Carolina, and the Kimpton Gray in Chicago.

The company has more than 60 hotels and 75 restaurants around the United States, Canada, Europe, the Caribbean, and China.

The boutique hotel is expected to open in spring 2021, joining Kimpton Hotel Van Zandt in Austin and the Kimpton Pittman Hotel in Dallas.
