Standing tall in the heart of downtown Fort Worth, just minutes from the historic Sundance Square Plaza, the recently opened Harper Hotel beckons with lavish amenities, mouthwatering menus and all-access to the bustling city streets. After much anticipation, the doors to the boutique hotel are finally open and waiting for you. Offering the perfect blend of culture with a contemporary twist, the Kimpton property—located in an architectural landmark dating back to the ’20s—possesses a certain familiarity within its idyllic setting. Choose from one of the 226 rooms rife with charm and we guarantee you will feel immediately at home. Design details are exquisite, and every nook and corner of the space was meticulously planned thanks to Cynthia Forchielli of L.A.-based firm Forchielli Glynn. Kick your feet up and unwind— whether it be cozying up in the plush Frette bedding or taking a quick dip with the sumptuous scents from Atelier Bloem—are we relaxed yet? Once you’ve had a chance to clear your mind, it’s off to enjoy dishes bursting with flavor by chef Matt Williams, who puts his culinary spin on Italian fare at Il Modo. Located on the ground floor of the property, the restaurant features fine dining in a relaxed setting; plus it also offers pasta-making classes perfect for date nights and group activities alike. For a postdinner delight, might we suggest venturing to the 24th floor, where the penthouse whiskey bar and cocktail lounge sits pretty? Soak in the sweeping views of the city over a signature cocktail, and there, my friends, you have just hit the reset button. Whether business or pleasure summons you, the Harper Hotel offers the best of both worlds. 714 Main St., Fort Worth, theharperfortworth.com
