Job Description
Who We Are Harwood Hospitality Group, Dallas' premier Hospitality owner-operator, introduces its most complete expression of a multi-generational vision in Harwood District's first hotel, Hotel Swexan.
The Hotel is a new destination, with an uncompromising mission that values experience above all. It is a place like no other that draws inspirations from the world's greatest cities - New York, London, Paris - together in one location to create something completely new. Local expertise with an international influence. Classic and contemporary, the hotel is a twist on conventions.
Part collection, part creativity, and always elegant. Guests stay to get lost - in culture and conversation. The Hotel is a world of its own, a meeting place, a hideaway, a stomping ground. For celebration or solitude.
Designed with all generations in mind, Harwood District's hotel plays host to an eclectic mix of personalities. It is a timeless setting where locals mix with out-of-towners and old souls encounter the young at heart.
Intimate, immersive, and transportive. Hotel Swexan has a surprise around every corner. Forget, for a second, where you came from, and leave with a memory that keeps you coming back.
Our Concepts Include: Stillwell's Inspired by deep Texan roots and featuring beef from the in-house HWD Beef program, Stillwell's is the hotel's signature, classic
steakhouse with a modern twist. Oenophiles will be impressed by the first-rate wine list featuring rare and hard-to-find wines from around the world. Stillwell's is located on the seventh floor and open to both guests of the hotel and visitors.
