Dallas-Fort Worth Hospitality Market Report

Structural business travel steadies as Arlington drives near-term demand. Limited- and select-service properties faced RevPAR pressure in 2025, while full-service assets posted marginal growth. Dallas still anchors the market, with the CBD representing roughly 21 percent of the metroplex’s hospitality revenue. Ongoing corporate relocations will continue to attract business travel, further reinforced by the 2.1-million-square-foot expansion of the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, expected to deliver in 2029. Arlington emerged as a standout in 2025, recording nearly 5 percent revenue growth and a 100-basis-point occupancy gain, a trajectory poised to modestly accelerate as the submarket hosts nine FIFA World Cup matches in 2026, more than any other city, and the Java House Grand Prix. Fort Worth’s CBD posted demand growth above 3 percent last year, with the Omni expansion’s 400 rooms and 50,000 square feet of meeting space coming online in late 2026, which could temporarily add pressure to occupancy.
