Le Méridien Fort Worth Downtown, the latest addition to Premier’s upscale, full-service, soft-branded boutique hotel design portfolio, marked its soft-opening welcoming guests last week. A significant historic conservation adaptive reuse and hotel conversion project, Premier co-developed the 14-story 188-guestroom hotel in coordination with Blueprint Hospitality. Owned by Ashford Hospitality Trust and Blueprint Hospitality, and managed by Remington Hospitality, the property held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the completion of its two-and-a-half-year renovation last week.

“Opening this hotel has been a completely different type of project,” said Chase Chasteen, General Manager of Le Méridien Fort Worth Downtown. “There are so many moving parts with a hotel development like this; having our expert partners at Premier lead this conversion helped us make the important decisions we know will have an impact on our guests and associates for the decades to come. Our sincere thanks to Premier for making this project a resounding success.”
