Ashton Hotel Fort Worth History
The Ashton Hotel Fort Worth is a boutique-style hotel and has served as a wonderful stay for over 100 years. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Ashton is packed with history and is a fairly luxurious place to stay. Now, when I say “historical” that doesn’t mean it’s not modern or contemporary – they’ve combined that side into the setting as well. This historical building was restored back in April of 2001. During the restoration, they made sure that the details of the architecture kept as much of the originality as possible. Did you know that back in the day there was a place called “The Fort Worth Club” that took up space here? In fact, the fourth floor of the building had what they used to call sleeping rooms that the Club members had access to. All the way back in 1916 the first jewelry store in the area opened up on the ground floor.
Rooms at The Ashton Hotel
Each room and suite at The Ashton in Fort Worth stands out with features that make it truly inspired. Booking one of these Rooms will definitely be much different from one of the boxed hotels. Starting with the Signature Room, the large King bed with down pillows and luxury linens allows for a great night’s sleep. For that Romantic stay, the Spa suite might be the answer with its in-room, claw-foot whirlpool tub for two. Additional space is added as you move up to the Signature suite with a total of 560 square feet to roam around. The two-person Jacuzzi Tub is also wonderful for those Romantic stays.

Ashton Fort Worth Reviews
Pros:
Many of the guests staying at the Ashton Hotel in Fort Worth find the rooms to be unique in their style. The front desk is mentioned many times for its attention to the customer and making sure needs are met. The bathrooms are not your typical layout but are styled beautifully. Pedestal sinks are very different than a box brand hotel. The lobby is amazing.
Cons:
Some of the guests wrote about the slowness of the Valet service. The bathrooms, while pretty are not like standard hotel rooms. Our room had a pedestal sink which does not have a large top for holding items.

Ashton Hotel Fort Worth Reviews
All in all the Ashton Hotel in Fort Worth has almost perfect reviews and as of the time this article was published they are ranked 18th out of 108 hotels in the entire area of Fort Worth. You know, there is not really anything bad I can say other than if you stay in the rooms facing Main Street it can be loud. In fact, if you stay on the higher floors, they are always the quietest in any hotel. You’ll want to ask for a room that is not overlooking the parking garage. The views are best on the south and east sides of the hotel. The coolest thing guests talk about are the chocolate chip cookies that are put on the pillows on your bed each evening. I’ve never heard of that! See what others are saying about the Ashton Hotel in Fort Worth.
