Starwood Hotels & Resorts, KFK Group to Open New Westin Hotel in Dallas

DALLAS — Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide and New Orleans-based KFK Group will open a new Starwood managed Westin hotel in downtown Dallas. The Westin Dallas Downtown will open by December 2015 as part of an adaptive re-use project that will transform the complex into a lifestyle development. Construction has already begun, following KFK’s acquisition of the 1-million-square-foot building in March of last year. The Westin Dallas Downtown will feature 323 guest rooms and extensive meeting facilities. The hotel will anchor the redevelopment of the office building known as “One Main Place.” The vertical mixed-use property will feature a dedicated hotel entrance parallel to Elm Street and a second floor hotel lobby in the former banking hall. Hotel facilities will include a three meal restaurant, a bar and more than 27,000 square feet of meeting space including a ballroom overlooking the eastern courtyard.
