Hotels Fort Worth

The Mayor of Fort Worth, Texas says there is no such thing as a "visitor" when it comes to this welcoming city; only friends the current residents have not yet met. There are many things to consider when looking at the hotels Fort Worth has to offer. This is a very large city with hotels scattered across its streets. You will want to look at location carefully as you think about which of the hotels Fort Worth has that will be best for your needs. If you are in the area on business, you may want to find a hotel in the center of downtown, close to convention centers or other business locations. If you are coming to the area to relax, you might want something more remote. This high-class and fast-paced Texas city has everything you could ever want in terms of restaurants, attractions and activities. The same can be said for the hotels Fort Worth has available for travelers.

Fort Worth may be a large city, but part of what makes it so tourist-friendly is that there is a lot to do. Most of the attractions are concentrated in three main districts. The Cultural District is just west of the downtown area. This district holds some of the finest and most popular art in the world. You can see contemporary work by artists like Andy Warhol as well as brilliant pieces by old world masters. The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth lies in this district. You can view plenty of modern works of art within this striking building. The museum has five pavilions on 11 landscaped acres that include a large pond. Visitors can enjoy one of the best collections of postwar art in the country including over 3,000 significant pieces of modern and contemporary art from countries all over the world.

The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History is also within the Cultural District. This museum has a wonderful architectural legacy with its $80 million facility that includes bright colors, natural lighting and geometric forms. The recent building opened in 2009 and has many wonderful exhibits including the official dinosaur of Texas, the city's children's museum and plenty of hands-on demonstrations.

Downtown is just a few minutes away and visitors can take in a performance of some kind at the Bass Performance Hall. This venue has been voted one of the top 10 opera houses in the world. The local symphony, opera and ballet companies all perform in this hall and you can also see popular singers, Broadway shows and many other performances. The Bass is known for its extraordinary acoustics and many other grand features.

One of the other districts is known as the historic Stockyards District. This area of town is more worthy of cowboy gear such as boots, jeans and hats. You will feel as if you have moved back in time to an authentic Western town. The wooden sidewalks are lined with Western shops and real Texas restaurants that feature all of the best barbecued food.

This district is also a great place to explore the history of the city. The Stockyards used to be the second-largest cattle market in the whole world. Today, the area has wonderful restaurants, entertainment, shopping areas and even Wild West shows. If you visit at the right time, you can enjoy Frontier Forts Days or the Red Steagall Cowboy Gathering.

One of the most distinctive parts of the district is the twice-daily cattle drive. You will want to grab a spot on the sidewalk during this event and watch the authentic cowboys drive longhorns through the streets of the Stockyards. This drive takes place along Exchange Avenue and is the only place in the world where live cattle drives take place on a regular basis for public viewing.

On the weekends, you can take in a legendary rodeo in this district and you can even enjoy the world's largest honky tonk while you are in the area. This part of Fort Worth is stereotypically Texan with everything you expect a Wild West city to have along its streets.

Fort Worth is a city that has plenty of cowboy charm along with an air of culture. You can find a little of everything when you visit this vibrant city where visitors are simply friends the residents have not yet met.
