Westin DFW Airport Hotel Lands Interior Reno Project
The goal for the hotel’s renovation was to energize the interior spaces to represent Westin’s Wellness brand, the airport location and its Texas roots, and it feeds off the positive energy of the nearby airport.
IRVING, TX—The former Harvey Hotel DFW Airport, Westin Dallas-Fort Worth Airport hotel, recently completed interior renovations to its 506 rooms including 28 corner suites, 28 corporate executive suites, two presidential suites, a restaurant and bar, Westin Club, fitness center and public spaces. C+TC Design Studio is the interior design firm for the renovation project.
The new Westin Club has taken flight and gives Marriott Bonvoy reward members a place to relax in an elevated experience. It is one of the largest Westin Club lounges in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
“The refreshed spaces in the hotel focuses on improving the overall experience and providing a comfortable stay for guests who are traveling,” said Michael Rader, director of sales and marketing at Westin Dallas Fort Worth Airport hotel. “The design feeds off the positive energy of the nearby international airport while also providing a calming environment to allow for rest and relaxation.”
The goal for the hotel’s renovation was to energize the interior spaces to represent Westin’s Wellness brand, the airport location and its Texas roots. Westin’s brand identity of local biophilic inspiration can be seen with references to Cross Timbers, a strip of land that runs from southeastern Kansas across central Oklahoma to central Texas and is made up of a mix of prairie, savanna and woodland. Textural and pattern inspiration came from Cross Timbers, and the airport location and people/place connectivity provided inspiration for feature art pieces and millwork.
“The renovation re-energizes the hotel and brings a connection between the Cross Timbers landscape and the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex’s traditional cowboy culture,” Rader tells GlobeSt.com.
One new art installation is a three-dimensional wall feature in the lobby that abstracts an aerial view of the local landscape and lakes in the surrounding area. Evo-Lite was the lighting manufacturer that provided the acrylic panels and Sectis Design, a specialty millworker, provided the undulating slats, GlobeSt.com learns.
A hanging light installation is also featured in the lobby and represents elements found in the Cross Timbers region. LightArt, a custom lighting manufacturer, created the acrylic leaves. Both pieces were custom designed by C+TC Design Studio.
The Westin Dallas Fort Worth Airport hotel is minutes away from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and near destinations such as Globe Life Park, Toyota Music Factory, Grapevine Mills shopping mall, historic downtown Grapevine, Las Colinas’ business and shopping district, and Hackberry Creek Country Club.
The hotel provides complimentary shuttle service to the airport, complimentary on-site parking, valet parking, pet-friendly rooms, a full breakfast buffet every morning, a rooftop pool, in-room spa services and a fitness Gear Lending program in partnership with New Balance. The hotel’s restaurant and lounge, BYRN Western Grill and Lounge, offers American fare.
Westin DFW Airport hotel supports the Airpower Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting active duty, reserve and National Guard families, and is the official hotel of the organization’s Sky Ball event.
