Loews Hotels & Co, a wholly owned subsidiary of Loews Corp. and a branded owner, operator and developer, released development plans for Americana by Loews Hotels – Arlington, Texas, its third hotel in Arlington, Texas’ entertainment district.
Set to replace the existing Sheraton Arlington Hotel, Americana by Loews Hotels represents a significant evolution for the brand. A “ground-shaking” event, where the existing hotel will be demolished, is planned for early June, marking the official start of construction on the new Americana by Loews Hotel this summer.
Americana by Loews Hotels will be the brand’s 28th property, and its name pays tribute to the iconic Americana Hotel in Bal Harbour, Fla. — a Loews landmark that opened in 1956. The term “Americana” embodies the spirit of American hospitality, a hallmark of Loews Hotels for decades.
“This project reflects our strong belief in Arlington as a dynamic destination and our confidence in its continued growth,” Alex Tisch, president and CEO of Loews Hotels & Co. “Americana by Loews Hotels honors our heritage while looking ahead, bringing together scale, service excellence, and design to support group and leisure travelers alike. As our third hotel in Arlington, it also marks an important milestone for Loews as owner, operator, and developer.”
The hotel will have 507 guestrooms, including 39 suites and standard room sizes ranging from 350 to 400 square feet. Designed with meetings and events at its core, the property will offer more than 83,000-square-feet of total indoor and outdoor meeting and event space, including a 10,000-square foot Event Barn, positioning it as a premier destination for large-scale gatherings.
