The Star, Frisco’s new world headquarters for America’s Team, will have an Omni Hotel as the cornerstone. Announced in a VIP-packed event with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, renderings for the 16-story, 300-room luxury hotel were unveiled. Designed by Gensler Architects and slated to open summer of 2017, the new hotel is one of the final pieces of the puzzle for the Cowboys’ new home.
“This extraordinary development and hotel will be a dynamic destination offering travelers a truly one-of-a-kind experience,” said Mike Deitemeyer, president of Omni Hotels & Resorts. “The design and style of the hotel will honor the history of the Dallas Cowboys and the unbelievable progress of the city of Frisco. This hotel will be a true collaboration that reflects the local flavor of Frisco.”
The Cowboys new headquarters facilities will be home to the entire football operations, including administrative offices, coaches’ offices as well as the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, according to a press release. The Ford Center will be possibly the largest indoor stadium for amateur football in the country with seating for 12,000 and will serve as both the home venue for Frisco Independent School District (FISD) for events and activities, and the practice and training facility for the Cowboys.
“As one of the fastest growing communities in Texas and America for the last decade, Frisco’s reputation as a top destination for travelers – both for business and leisure – is growing, as well,” said Mayor Maher Maso, City of Frisco. “We know the Dallas Cowboys and Omni will help bolster Frisco’s reputation as a world-class destination for visitors, while enhancing quality of life, entertainment and business opportunities for our residents, too.”
The hotel will have a fourth-floor rooftop pool deck that can accommodate 300 to 400 guests with stunning views of The Ford Center and the nearby plaza. The whole hotel will have a signature design and decor, with modern style and amenities.
“The Star will be a first of its kind destination that brings the Cowboys brand to life,” said Jerry Jones, owner and general manager of the Dallas Cowboys. “We sought out partners that share our vision and commitment to quality and entertainment. I look forward to collaborating with Omni Hotels & Resorts to create this unique experience for our fans.”
Ground broke on the 90-acre site at the northwest corner of Warren Parkway and the Dallas North Tollway in Frisco on Aug. 22 of last year. The Star, a mixed-use development, will also include additional corporate offices, retail and restaurants.
