On Tuesday, members of Premier’s Leadership team were proud to join our project partners at the ribbon cutting of the soon-to-officially open Le Méridien Fort Worth Downtown hotel. Owned by Ashford Hospitality Trust and Blueprint Hospitality, and managed by Premier’s sister company Remington Hospitality, the event marked the completion of the two-and-a-half-year project that saw Premier’s Interior Design, Procurement, and Project Management teams lead the development of this new upscale full-service hotel in downtown Fort Worth.

A significant adaptive reuse and hotel conversion project adjacent to Fort Worth’s Convention Center, the delivery of Le Méridien Fort Worth Downtown saw Premier create a 188-guestroom hospitality destination by completely transforming the vacant 14 stories of the Hotel Texas Annex building in the city’s burgeoning downtown entertainment and event district. More than simply a significant hotel conversion project, Premier co-developed the property in coordination with Blueprint Hospitality, demonstrating Premier’s capabilities as commercial real estate developers, and attesting to the firm’s historic conservation capabilities.
Joining Premier Chief Executive Officer Hector Sanchez at the event were Ashford Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Monty Bennett, Blueprint Hospitality Chief Executive Officer Kunal Mody, Downtown Fort Worth Inc. President Andrew Taft, Le Méridien Fort Worth Downtown General Manager Chase Chasteen, Remington Hospitality Divisional Vice President of Sales and Marketing Shawn Anderson, Le Méridien Fort Worth Downtown Director of Sales and Marketing Dawn Freeman, as well as a host of key executives from Remington Hospitality and Le Méridien Hotels & Resorts.
Le Méridien Fort Worth Downtown is scheduled to officially open to the public in the coming weeks; watch Premier’s blog and social channels for our announcement celebrating the formal grand opening of this destination, and for an in-depth exploration of our design program for the property.
