Hotels With a Bar Near DFW Airport Station
This page lists hotels with a bar around DFW Airport Station, the rail stop at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport served by the DART Orange Line and TEXRail. These are airport hotels rather than city-centre addresses, and on a layover or the night before an early flight, a bar downstairs is often the only evening option that does not need a taxi. The best choices here are Hilton DFW Lakes Executive Conference Center, The Westin Dallas Fort Worth Airport and the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport Marriott, all on the edge of the airport in Grapevine and Irving and linked to the terminals by shuttle.
DFW Airport covers a large area between Dallas and Fort Worth, and the station at its centre links the terminals to both cities by rail. Around the airport, the hotels cluster in Irving to the south and east and in Grapevine to the north, with Grapevine Vintage Railroad nearby. This is a car and shuttle landscape: distances that look short on a map often mean a taxi or a hotel bus, which is why a bar inside the hotel matters for an evening drink.
Where to stay
Airport hotels with a bar downstairs
Near DFW, a hotel bar saves you a drive at the end of a travel day. The options range from a lakeside conference hotel with a bar and room service to upmarket airport hotels with a modern bar and a rooftop pool, and a more casual bar next to a restaurant serving Texan cuisine. A free airport shuttle is the other point to check, since it decides how easily you reach the terminals the next morning.
Hilton DFW Lakes Executive Conference Center is my first choice for an evening drink near the airport. It is a lakeside conference hotel with a bar and a restaurant offering room service, two pools, tennis courts, a hot tub and a fitness centre. Wi-Fi and parking are free, and a complimentary airport shuttle links it to the terminals. At 8.8 from more than 2,700 reviews, it has the best rating on this page, and its description presents it as suited to both business stays and families, with tennis courts as an extra.
The Westin Dallas Fort Worth Airport is an upmarket hotel with a modern restaurant and bar and a rooftop pool, plus a fitness centre and air-conditioned rooms. It offers a free airport shuttle, has parking and accepts pets, and it is rated 8.4 by more than 3,100 guests. The Westin is also described as ideal for families. The Dallas/Fort Worth Airport Marriott is a 4-star alternative with a restaurant, a bar and a business centre, along with two pools, a hot tub and a fitness centre. Its airport shuttle and parking make it practical for travellers with early flights or late arrivals.
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Dallas - DFW Airport North, north of the airport, has a bar and a restaurant serving Texan cuisine, an outdoor pool, a fitness centre and a free airport shuttle, and it accepts pets. Its 7.2 is the lowest rating in this group, so I would book it mainly for the Texan menu or the pet policy. The Sheraton DFW Airport Hotel offers three restaurants, an outdoor pool, a fitness centre and a free shuttle, a nine-minute taxi ride from the airport and ten minutes by taxi from Grapevine Vintage Railroad. The Sheraton is a contemporary 4-star hotel and accepts pets.
The Hyatt Regency DFW International Airport is the closest option to the rail network, a four-minute walk from the Hyatt Regency DFW station and a two-minute taxi ride from the terminals. It offers several dining options, rooms and suites with balconies, an outdoor pool and a fitness centre, rated 8.6 by more than 4,600 guests. Comfort Suites DFW Airport, La Quinta Inn & Suites DFW Airport North and Holiday Inn Express & Suites Irving DFW Airport North also appear here, but their listings mention breakfast and a restaurant rather than a bar, so I would not choose them for an evening drink.
A traveler's perspectiveFor a drink after a long travel day near DFW, I would book Hilton DFW Lakes Executive Conference Center: it has a bar and a restaurant with room service, a lakeside setting and the best rating on this page, 8.8 from more than 2,700 reviews. If I wanted a rooftop pool before a drink at the bar, my choice would be The Westin Dallas Fort Worth Airport, which also runs a free shuttle.
