Who We Are

Harwood Hospitality Group, Dallas' premier Hospitality owner-operator, introduces its most complete expression of a multi-generational vision in Harwood District's first hotel, Hôtel Swexan.

The hotel is a new destination, with an uncompromising mission that values experience above all. It is a place like no other that draws inspiration from the world's greatest cities - New York, London, and Paris - together in one location to create something completely new. Local expertise with an international influence. Classic and contemporary, the hotel is a twist on conventions.

Part collection, part creativity, and always elegant. Guests stay to get lost - in culture and conversation. The hotel is a world of its own, a meeting place, a hideaway, and a stomping ground. For celebration or solitude.

Designed with all generations in mind, Harwood District's hotel plays host to an eclectic mix of personalities. It is a timeless setting where locals mix with out-of-towners and old souls and encounter the young at heart.

Intimate, immersive, and transportive. Hôtel Swexan has a surprise around every corner. Forget, for a second, where you came from, and leave with a memory that keeps you coming back.

Our Concepts Include:

Pomelo

Pomelo is the hotel's rooftop pool bar, inspired by the divine silhouettes of the Mediterranean. Hotel guests only can lounge the day away poolside or enjoy a cabana-side cocktail in the company of the unmistakable Texas sunset.

Pomelo is open for hotel guests and private membership club only.
