Grapevine, Texas — Situated just minutes from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and along the shores of beautiful Lake Grapevine, this vibrant city continues to elevate its hospitality and economic profile through strategic investments in lodging, amenities, and event‑ready spaces. Grapevine’s growing hotel footprint, historic boutique expansions, and major property renovations are strengthening its ability to attract visitors, events, and business travelers alike — supporting community vitality and long‑term growth.


Building Tomorrow’s Hospitality Network
Grapevine’s hospitality expansion includes several major hotel projects that will increase lodging capacity and enhance visitor experiences:

  • A Hampton Inn & Home2 Suites by Hilton dual‑brand property is set to break ground, bringing 201 new rooms, outdoor gathering spaces, and premium dining options, with completion expected in 2027.
  • A new AC Hotel by Marriott at Silverlake will feature 200 rooms, flexible meeting space, and full‑service amenities near Grapevine Mills, targeting an opening in early 2029.

These new developments will bolster Grapevine’s ability to host conferences, corporate retreats, and tourism traffic, reinforcing its strategic position within the North Texas economy.


Elevating Existing Destinations
In addition to new properties, several iconic Grapevine hotels are undergoing significant expansions and renovations:

  • Hotel Vin, a boutique destination on Historic Main Street, is expanding with additional guest rooms, an outdoor pool, private event space, spa facilities, and enhanced meeting amenities — responding to strong demand and community engagement.
  • The Grand Hyatt DFW Airport is completing a major $34 million renovation to modernize guestrooms, expand event facilities, and introduce a new rooftop venue overlooking airport runways.

These upgrades not only modernize existing infrastructure but also enhance Grapevine’s attractiveness for both leisure and business visitors.


What This Means for the Local Economy
