About


Hôtel Swexan is a world of its own with an uncompromising mission that values experience above all. It is a step back in time and a return to classic hospitality. 

Developed by family-owned, Dallas-based global real estate firm, Harwood International, the flagship boutique hotel will welcome guests beginning this summer. Hôtel Swexan will serve as the crown jewel of the more-walkable-than-ever 19-city block Harwood District.

The hotel’s moniker stands for “Swiss meets Texan,” inspired by Harwood International founders’ multi-generational Swiss-Texan family heritage. Operated by Harwood Hospitality Group with a collective 100+ years of experience, the destination represents a complete expression of the group’s five-decade-long vision for the Harwood neighborhood in Dallas. The hotel’s design is reflective of the founders’ travels and passion for art and design, offering guests an immersive European-inspired journey throughout the multi-faceted, transformative spaces.

Hôtel Swexan will be Harwood Hospitality Group’s flagship hotel in Dallas, offering the confluence of Texan charm and European flair within the vertical urban retreat. The property will introduce guest amenities, sophisticated culinary experiences, and energetic nightlife to the neighborhood.

Hôtel Swexan will bring the neighborhood world-class culinary, entertainment, and cultural experiences layered throughout the building. Designed with all generations in mind, the hotel will play host to an eclectic mix of personalities where locals and visitors collide.

The hotel will offer bespoke guest stay amenities with the strictest attention to detail, including a 20th-floor rooftop infinity-edge swimming pool spanning 75 feet, where visitors can relax and unwind on cabanas with panoramic views of the Dallas skyline. On the eighth floor, guests will find a state-of-the-art fitness center with unparalleled views and a large outdoor patio that doubles the space for yoga, bootcamps, and outdoor activities. The locker areas offer separate wet and dry saunas for men and women.

The joy of travel is in the anticipation of discovery, and we look forward to welcoming you beginning June 15th, 2023.
