DALLAS—Washington, DC-based PM Hospitality Strategies, Inc. has signed a management agreement to operate the 282-room DoubleTree by Hilton DFW (Dallas-Fort Worth) Airport North with The Buccini/Pollin Group.

The addition of the DoubleTree hotel brings PMHS' portfolio of managed hotels to approximately 30 hotels, including five new assignments in 2014 and development projects. In November, PMHS announced that it had been selected to operate two of the first Canopy by Hilton hotels in Portland, OR and Rockville, MD. Both hotels will be developed by The Buccini/Pollin Group.

“This hotel, our sixth west of the Mississippi River, marks our first entry into the Dallas/Fort Worth market and furthers our effort to expand our presence in the Western United States,” says Joseph Bojanowski, president of PMHS. “As this is our 15th Hilton flagged hotel, we expect that it will immediately benefit from our deep familiarity with Hilton Worldwide and its numerous brands.”

Situated in Irving, TX less than two miles from DFW Airport, the eight-story hotel features approximately 17,000 square feet of function space, outdoor pool, 24-hour fitness center, full-service business center and continual airport shuttle service. Dining options include the Flatland Grille & Bar, featuring contemporary Texas cuisine, and Starbucks Café.

“The Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area is continuing to grow thanks to an airport that is easily accessible and the numerous business headquartered there,” Bojanowski says. “Unemployment is lower and wage growth is higher than the national average, setting the stage for accelerating business metrics in the coming year. We're very optimistic about this hotel and this market.”
