Whether attending a reception on the expansive Event Lawn or
hosting a conference in the largest hotel ballroom in North Texas at 51,000 square feet, guests can

ovens and a Pasta Lab with fresh pasta made in-house
daily.
Additional dining options include Veranda, an al fresco
extension of Farena located under a covered patio, Tomar El Sol, translated to "drink up the sun,"
which proudly embraces the restaurant's poolside location,

Loews – Arlington and all its
amenities via skybridge. The two hotels combined offer nearly 1,200
guestrooms and more than 300,000 square feet of meeting and event
space.
"Sporting events, theme parks, great food, and live
entertainment—the new Loews Arlington and Convention Center puts
visitors right in the heart of everything our vibrant Entertainment
District has to offer. With is prime location, premium amenities,
and more than a quarter million square feet of meeting space, this
venue gives Arlington a
competitive edge over other major event and convention centers
across the country," Arlington
Mayor Jim Ross said. "We appreciate
the commitment from our partners, Loews Hotels & Co and the
Texas Rangers, for their continued work to elevate Arlington's reputation as a premiere sports
and tourism destination."
Loews Arlington Hotel and Convention Center is part of phase two
of the development of Arlington's
Entertainment District, which continues the momentum and success of
Texas Live!, Live! by Loews - Arlington, and the Rangers' Globe Life
Field.
"Today marks another significant milestone for Arlington and the Entertainment District,"
said Texas Rangers Managing Partner & Majority Owner
Ray Davis. "As the new Loews
Arlington and Convention Center opens its doors, this area
increases its capacity to host some of the country's biggest sports
and entertainment events as well as major conventions. The Rangers
are proud the majority of the events and activations for the 2024
Major League All-Star Game in July will take right here in the
Entertainment District. I congratulate our great partners, Loews
Hotels & Co. and the City of
Arlington for all of their efforts in construction of this
spectacular facility."
Loews Loves Arlington
To commemorate the opening Loews
Arlington, Loews commissioned Arlington-based artist and educator,
Justin Ginsberg, to create a glass
blown sculpture. Ginsberg is the Assistant Chair and Glass Area
Coordinator in the Art History Department and an Assistant
Professor at the University of Texas at
Arlington (UTA). His work has been featured in museums
around the country including his most recent solo exhibition,
Sky Column: Shaking the Shadow, at The Amon Carter Museum of
American Art in Fort Worth, Texas.
The state-of-the-art studio space in which the Loews sculpture was
created and where Ginsberg teaches UTA students in the glass
program, is well-known for being the largest glass blowing
educational studio in the country.
"Loews Hotels & Co continues to be invested in the
City of Arlington. We wanted to
celebrate the opening of Loews Arlington in a meaningful way by
deepening the relationships with our community partners and
showcasing the incredible local talent," says Complex Managing
Director, Stephen Cummings. "Justin
has been wonderful to work with and brought our vision to
life."
The sculpture is entitled, Loews Loves Arlington --
fitting considering its infinity heart shape and the timing of the
hotel's opening, just one day before Valentine's Day. The
sculpture will be on display permanently in the Library of the
Loews Arlington lobby for guests and locals to view.
Loews Hotels & Co worked with HKS as the architect and
Looney & Associates on the interior design for this new hotel.
Loews Arlington Hotel and Convention Center was built by JE Dunn,
who built the Loews Kansas City Hotel, which opened in June 2020. Arlington's Con-Real and Nehmer were also
involved in the development of the project.
Loews Arlington Hotel and Convention Center is located at 888
Nolan Ryan Expressway in Arlington,
TX. For more information or to make a reservation, visit
