Sam Bell Maxey State Historic House Site

I needed a place to stay for my daughter’s cheerleading competition at the 2026 UIL Cheerleading Championship in Fort Worth (January 15–17) and wanted to be closer to the Fort Worth Convention Center. After reading outstanding reviews, I chose The Crescent Hotel in the Cultural District—and it exceeded every expectation. The modern architecture, exquisite interior design, and impressive art collection featuring Pablo Picasso, alongside curated contemporary and Old West pieces, immediately drew me in. The rooms looked exactly like the photos—only better. They blend old-world Western charm with modern, five-star amenities, creating a multisensory experience that feels like an international getaway without needing a passport. Designed as an oasis from the city’s fast pace, the hotel offers both luxury and comfort. Be sure to visit Emilia’s restaurant; it deserves a spot on your “must-do” list. We enjoyed a relaxing and delicious breakfast before heading home. Special thanks to the exceptional team who made our stay memorable: the Valet Department (especially Captain Idris and Mr. Etienne), the Front Desk (Mr. Riley and Ms. Sarah), Room Service’s Ms. Isabella, and Ms. Jacqueline along with the entire Emilia’s staff. I highly recommend The Crescent Hotel for your next visit to Fort Worth—you will not be disappointed!
