The Nobleman Fort Worth, Tapestry Collection by Hilton and the hotel’s chef-driven restaurant, Duchess, opens in the Near Southside and Magnolia Avenue-area of Fort Worth. The hotel and restaurant are anchored by the historic façade of the original No. 5 Fire Station — a landmark building from 1911 that was home to many noble Fort Worth firefighters, and the inspiration behind the hotel name.
Developed by Jeff Blackman of Bedford Lodging, the property wraps a collection of 153 guestrooms and suites — a compilation of 121 guestrooms and 32 extended stay suites with kitchenettes — around the restored fire station structure that functions as the heart of the hotel, housing guest check-in, communal areas, game spaces, and Duchess.
