Texas - Ft. Worth

Stockyards Hotel

While hiding out from the law in 1933, an infamous pair of bank robbers took cover in what is now Room 305. Today, guests staying in the Bonnie and Clyde Suite enjoy all the amenities of an upscale hotel as well as some unusual decorative touches, including a pistol owned by Bonnie Parker. The three-story Stockyards Hotel was built in 1906-07 by Col. Thomas Marion Thannisch (1853-1935), one of North Fort Worth's early developers. Thannisch expanded the building in 1913, carefully matching the decorative brickwork, chevron designs in the upper story and corbeled parapet. Native American, Cowboy, Mountain Man and Victorian motifs and decor set the tone for the authentically furnished and restored guest rooms, and the first floor Celebrity Suite, with its own patio and hot tub, has been a popular place for country-western stars to hang their hats when in town. The hotel is the cornerstone of the Stockyards Historic District.
