Incorporating meticulously restored historic buildings on Main Street, the 1890 Winfree Building and the 1915 Fort Worth Club Building, the city's only small luxury hotel -- a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World -- fills a niche in Fort Worth. Just a few slow paces from Bass Performance Hall and Sundance Square, it features richly appointed, elegant rooms with custom-designed mahogany furnishings, invitingly plush king-size beds and Italian linens, and very attentive service. Some rooms have romantic two-person claw-foot Jacuzzi tubs. The hotel is decorated with a collection of paintings from the Fort Worth Circle, a group of local artists active from the 1930s to the 1960s. The elegant restaurant, Café Ashton, one of the most notable new eateries to open in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in recent years, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as an elegant afternoon tea.
