Loews Hotels & Co Announces Americana by Loews Hotels in Arlington, Texas | News
Loews Hotels & Co, a wholly owned subsidiary of Loews Corporation, and a brand owner, operator and developer, today announced plans for Americana by Loews Hotels – Arlington, TX, the third hotel in Arlington, Texas’ Entertainment District, reinforcing the company’s long-term belief in the destination and its continued growth as a premier meeting, events and entertainment center.
Americana by Loews Hotels will replace the existing Sheraton Arlington Hotel and represents an important evolution for the market and for the brand. A “groundbreaking” event is planned for early June, during which the existing hotel will be demolished, marking the official start of construction on the new Americana by Loews Hotel this summer.
Americana by Loews Hotels will be the brand’s 28th hotel and the name pays tribute to the iconic Americana Hotel in Bal Harbour, Florida – a Loews landmark that opened in 1956. The term “Americana” embodies the spirit of American hospitality, a hallmark of Loews Hotels for decades. This new, contemporary addition to the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex is designed to honor the past, embrace the present and shape the future: celebrating Loews’ rich heritage in refined hospitality, joining two existing world-class properties in Arlington’s Sports and Entertainment District today, and creating a best-in-class destination for tomorrow’s travelers.
“This project reflects our strong belief in Arlington as a dynamic destination and our confidence in its continued growth,” said Alex Tisch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Loews Hotels & Co. “Americana by Loews Hotels honors our heritage while looking forward, bringing together scale, service excellence and design to support both group and leisure travelers. As our third hotel in Arlington, it also marks a significant milestone for Loews as an owner, operator and developer.”
The hotel will feature 507 rooms, including 39 suites, and standard room sizes ranging from 350 to 400 square feet. Designed with meetings and events at its core, the property will offer a total of more than 8,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and event space, including a 10,000-square-foot Event Barn, making it a premier destination for large-scale gatherings.
