You’ll find Hotel Dryce in Fort Worth’s Cultural District, in North Central Texas.
Planes
Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is a 25-minute drive from the hotel, and most major US and European cities have direct flights (those that don’t will require a layover, often in New York City or Atlanta). The hotel doesn’t arrange private transfers, but there'll be plenty of taxis lined up at the airport.
Automobiles
You won’t need a car if you’re planning on staying in the city, but if you’d rather the freedom to explore the state’s outer edges, there are plenty of rental booths at the airport.
Worth getting out of bed for
Hotel Dryce is just outside the center of Fort Worth’s up-and-coming Cultural District, making it the ideal base to explore the city’s best spots. You’re in Texas, so the option to go full cowboy is always there, and the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame – set-up as an ode to the American West’s most influential women – is the best place to start, and there’s no harm in bagging a pair of cowboy boots at famed ML Leddy’s if you’re feeling inspired afterwards. Or, if you’d rather go full cowboy, head to the Trinity Trails for a horse-riding session. There’s always something going on down the road at Dickies Arena, whether it be concerts, rodeos or matches – it just depends on which day you pitch up.
For those wanting to skip the cowboy-themed traps, the Kimbell Art Museum, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art are all a 20-minute walk away. Just over Clear Fork Trinity River, the Upper West Side has sought-after shopping streets, Sundance Square among them, or stay close by and head for the Montgomery Street Antique Mall. And if you’re seeking some slightly fresher air after all that urban wandering, the Botanic Gardens, Japanese Gardens and Trinity Park are just across the street from the hotel.
Local restaurants
There are plenty to pick from, but we’d suggest stopping by Clay Pigeon on White Settlement Road for freshly made seasonal fare served in a bistro-style setting. For classic Texan traditions, head to Heim Barbecue, where locally sourced meat is slowly flamed over an oak fire.
Local cafés
All-American breakfasts (we’re talking waffles and fried chicken) are served round-the-clock at Vickery Boulevard Cafè, an old-school diner on its namesake street.
Local bars
When the weather is warm, Birdie’s Social Club serves classic cocktails and light bar bites alfresco (it even hase a dedicated margarita truck).
