挑战
To help establish the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area as one of America’s top tourism and convention destinations, the well-established Loews hotel brand challenged designers to create the ultimate urban destination between HKS-designed AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys, and Globe Life Field, the new home of the Texas Rangers, also designed by HKS.
解决方案
The hotel’s design takes cues from the plateaus of the wild west and signature Texan hospitality. Guests are greeted by an oversized fireplace and a view of AT&T stadium framed perfectly beyond the bar, while a monumental staircase connects to a two-level ballroom and convention center.
The open feel of the project allows guests to gather and socialize before, during and after events at either stadium and provides easy access to both. The hotel’s crown jewel is its Tower Terrace — a 40-foot tall and 60-foot wide cutout through the base of the structure. The terrace hosts the outdoor Arlington Clover Club, which is open seasonally for cocktails and light bites, and offers unobstructed views of AT&T Stadium and the hotel’s Event Lawn. The project also features two additional restaurants, a variety of event spaces and a resort-style pool area with an infinity pool, swim-up bar, fire pit and private cabanas.
设计影响
Live! by Loews Arlington is set within the Texas Live! development, a partnership of the city of Arlington, the Texas Rangers and The Cordish Companies, and is expected to create approximately 3,025 jobs and lead to more than $100 million per year in economic output in Tarrant County.
Arlington has long attracted sports fans, but the Texas Live! development is the driving force of urbanization that will help propel Arlington’s entertainment district to the distinction of an all-around entertainment destination. The Live! by Loews Arlington hotel within the premier entertainment district acts as a landing spot for traveling fans but also offers an upscale dining and entertainment experience for local residents.
