The suite life awaits at the highly-anticipated Hôtel SWEXAN.
The Library offers the chicest respite
Ensconced within the heart of the city lies Hôtel SWEXAN— Harwood International’s newly opened boutique hotel. Sitting pretty at 22 stories high, the building was designed by storied Japanese architect Kengo Kuma—marking the third building he has weaved his creative vision on within the Harwood District. Touting Texas-sized offerings, state-of-the-art luxuries and sprawling city views, the hotel is a little slice of paradise.

In the mood for a bit of R&R? Look no further than the luxurious rooftop pool. Standing sky-high on the hotel’s top floor, the cool-blue water beckons with Baja shelving, lounge furniture and optimal sunlight to soak in.

WINE AND DINE
It might be hard to figure out which direction to sway with five dining options within the hotel walls. Luckily, each restaurant offers its own unique spin to indulge. Enjoy canapés and cocktails at Euro-style cafe Isabelle’s (insider’s tip: they make a mean martini), or opt to revel in the rich Texas culture at Stillwell’s, a decadent steakhouse adorned with historic photos of some of the most influential people to call the Lone Star state home.
Babou’s late-night lounge awaits

BABOU’S
Night owls, rejoice! Tucked in the lower level of the hotel lies Babou’s. Layered with swaths of color, electric lighting and cheeky anecdotes abound, this buzzy nightclub is a sight for all to enjoy. Reserve your spot and a little bottle service while you dance the night away (curtains close at 2 a.m.).
