HOTEL DROVER
This new hotel, part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, gives serious old-meets-new Texas vibes amid the Fort Worth Stockyards. Sentimental types dig retro touches, such as cornhole around the fire pit, while contemporary characters are more than happy to while away the hours at outdoor cabanas with hanging daybeds and crystal chandeliers. 200 Mule Alley Drive, Fort Worth, hoteldrover.com
