Holiday Inn Express & Suites Fort Worth Downtown by IHG
Indoor pool five minutes from the Kimbell Art Museum
About this hotel
This sits in the downtown cluster of the Mercantile Center selection, a five-minute taxi ride from Fort Worth's historic T&P rail station and Central Station, well south of the Fossil Creek stop further north. The Kimbell Art Museum is the same short ride away, giving a genuine culture-focused day trip option beyond the standard hotel-and-dinner routine. The indoor pool and hot tub work year-round, and free breakfast covers mornings before a day of downtown sightseeing. Parking carries a charge here, unlike the free-parking Fossil Creek properties, a trade-off for the downtown location. Guest ratings sit at 7.6/10 across 1231 reviews, in line with the 3-star billing. Sundance Square, downtown's dining and entertainment district, is a similarly short hop for an evening out.

Our take
Holiday Inn Express Fort Worth Downtown is a practical base for culture: the Kimbell Art Museum and the T&P rail station are both five minutes away by taxi. The indoor pool and hot tub suit families, breakfast and Wi-Fi are free, and pets are accepted. Parking is paid. The 7.6 rating from 1,231 guests points to a reliable stay rather than a standout one, and I would book it on that basis.
- Book the taxi to the Kimbell Art Museum for a half-day of culture rather than driving downtown yourself.
- Budget for paid parking here, a trade-off against the free-parking Fossil Creek properties.
- Use the indoor pool and hot tub regardless of season, both run year-round.

Why guests love itHoliday Inn Express & Suites Fort Worth Downtown is five minutes by taxi from the Kimbell Art Museum, so I would pick it for families mixing a museum morning with downtown Fort Worth. The indoor pool and hot tub give children something to look forward to afterwards, and free breakfast covers the start of each day. Pets are accepted, but parking is paid. A rating of 7.6 across 1,231 reviews makes it a practical rather than memorable choice.
