It might not have a name that rolls smoothly off your tongue, but the resort-style hotel opening Thursday in Arlington is already booked up for its first week.
The $150 million hotel, formally named "Live! by Loews Hotel - Arlington, TX," is the anchor of the Texas Live! entertainment district that's gone up between the Texas Rangers' future ballpark, the Dallas Cowboys' AT&T Stadium and the Arlington Esports Stadium. All are within walking distance.
Workers swarmed the site Wednesday to get the all-glass hotel ready for its debut. It's billed as a multi-concept sports and entertainment resort and it delivers on the name.
"It truly is designed to be an urban oasis. A resort in the middle of Arlington," said Jonathan Tisch, chairman and CEO of Loews Hotels, a subsidiary of the multibillion-dollar Loews Corp. He's also a co-owner of the NFL's New York Giants.
The hotel features 35,000 square feet of event space, 300 rooms and lavish amenities catering to sports fans, business groups and families. Loews conceived the hotel's inverted pyramid design, working alongside the Texas Rangers and The Cordish Cos., the Baltimore-based developer of the $250 million entertainment district.
