City and community leaders gathered on Sept. 10 for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the Drury Plaza Hotel Dallas Arlington. This property is the third Drury hotel in the DFW Metroplex and 20th in Texas, featuring 268 guest rooms and suites, and 7,000 square feet of meeting space.

“From the redevelopment of the Lincoln Square area to all the excitement in the entertainment district to everything happening in downtown Arlington – revitalization is what’s happening to make Arlington a place you can live, eat, work and play… I want to say to the Drury team, welcome to the American Dream City. We’re so proud and honored to have you as a part of the Arlington family,” said Mayor Jim Ross.

Brent DeRaad, president & CEO of the Arlington Convention & Visitors Bureau, explained that the Drury Plaza Hotel was a key player in Arlington setting hotel room revenue records for four consecutive months. “The fact that they were able to step up during the MLB All-Star week activities, it’s really been remarkable,” he said. 

Located off Interstate 30 in the heart of Arlington’s Entertainment District, Drury Plaza Hotel Dallas Arlington places guests just minutes from the region’s top attractions including AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, Choctaw Stadium, The University of Texas at Arlington and Six Flags Over Texas.

Additional amenities include an outdoor pool and whirlpool, free parking, 24-hour business and fitness centers, and free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel.
