Marriott hotel in Westlake expected to undergo renovations after purchase

The Marriott Dallas/Fort Worth Westlake hotel is slated to undergo renovations after two Dallas-based companies purchased the property in September.

The gist

NewcrestImage, in a joint venture with Dabu Group, purchased the full-service hotel, located at 1301 Solana Blvd., Bldg. 3, Westlake, according to a Sept. 26 news release. The hotel will undergo extensive renovations on the guest rooms and public spaces, NewcrestImage Spokesperson Peter Mathon said.

Renovations are expected to start within next six months, he said. The hotel will remain operational during renovations which will be completed in waves.

Newmark Lodging Capital Markets arranged the hotel’s sale. The team was led by Vice Chairman Miles Spencer and Director Parker Sherrill, according to the news release.

“This deal represents a very attractive opportunity to join with a strong investment partner in acquiring a property that boasts strong rate performance and is strategically located in an active market,” NewcrestImage Managing Partner and CEO Mehul Patel said in a statement.

Its architecture was designed by award-winning architect Ricardo Legorreta, who is known for use of bright colors, light, shadow and geometric shapes.
