Kimpton Harper Hotel
1921 high-rise with city views near Fort Worth Central
About this hotel
This sits in the downtown cluster of the Mercantile Center selection, close to Fort Worth's Central Station and T&P rail hub rather than the Fossil Creek stop further north, and the building itself is the first draw: a 1921 high-rise with city views that the newer Fossil Creek properties simply cannot match. The Italian restaurant and the bar and lounge on site give a genuine reason to stay in rather than go looking downtown, though 6th & Commerce is a single minute away on foot if the mood changes. The pet-friendly policy is a rare find at this design tier, and the airport shuttle covers the trip out without a rental car.

Our take
Kimpton Harper Hotel is the characterful downtown Fort Worth stay I would book: it occupies a 1921 high-rise with city views, an Italian restaurant and a bar and lounge, and it sits a minute's walk from 6th & Commerce, near the Fort Worth Central and T&P rail hub. Pets are welcome, and there is a fitness center and an airport shuttle. An 8.8 rating from more than 700 reviews confirms the appeal.
- Book the Italian restaurant ahead on weekend evenings, it draws a downtown crowd beyond hotel guests.
- Walk the one minute to 6th & Commerce for an evening out rather than driving downtown.
- Use the airport shuttle rather than arranging a separate car service for the flight out.
Why we love it
