    Braniff Airways flight attendant college to become Dallas boutique hotel

    A vintage building near Dallas Love Field that was once part of Braniff Airlines is being redeveloped into a boutique hotel.

    Located at 2801 Wycliff Ave., the building was home to Braniff International's Hostess College, built in 1968 as a dormitory and training center for flight attendants.

    Braniff Airways is the former airline, based in Dallas; the company is now a branding/marketing and tour firm.

    According to a release, Braniff Airways chairman Richard Ben Cass signed a deal with MM Property Holdings, Inc. (Centurion American); "MM" is Mehrdad Moayed, who restored the Statler Hilton Hotel in downtown Dallas in 2018.

    The property will be a luxury hotel with approximately 75 hotel rooms, plus pool, restaurant, and gift shop.

    The building itself is minimal: a five-story rectangle with windows on the top three floors — "mid-century internationalism style," according to the Texas Historical Commission.

    Braniff went out of business as an airline in 1982. But nostalgia for the airline's mid-century modern flair, embodied by the iconic colorful Pucci uniforms the flight attendants wore, lingers.

    The renovation of the building will retain some of its original character, including most famously a sunken fireplace lounge nicknamed the Passion Pit.

    A Braniff boutique will sell Braniff-branded goods such as model airplanes and T-shirts. Braniff designs include creations by big names such as Alexander Girard, Emilio Pucci, Halston, Harper and George, and Alexander Calder.

    Braniff also has an online retail store, and administers an employee discount travel progam.

    This will be the only Braniff hotel in existence in the United States, but the release says that additional Braniff hotels are planned for other former Braniff destinations.

    The hotel is part of a larger renovation of Braniff's operation and maintenance base. In 2019, the company signed an agreement with the Dallas Cowboys, TACAir, Lincoln Property Company, and Randall Reed Enterprises authorizing their use of the Braniff name at the former 1958 Braniff International Operations and Maintenance Base located at 7701 Lemmon Ave., with whom they're working to preserve their signature hangar, which boasts a mid-century-era dual butterfly design.

    Greyhound bus finds new location to replace downtown Dallas terminal

    There's a new location for the Greyhound bus terminal, which had been in downtown Dallas for nearly 70 years: Flix North America, the parent company of FlixBus and Greyhound, will be relocating service to a new intercity bus terminal in northwest Dallas in late September 2025.

    According to a release, the facility will be located in the 9700 block of Harry Hines Boulevard, directly across from Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Bachman Station, and will serve as the company’s primary hub for travel in and out of the Dallas–Fort Worth region.

    The existing Greyhound terminal in downtown Dallas will remain operational until the new terminal opens, to ensure uninterrupted service for passengers throughout the process.

    The relocation was made possible through collaboration with the City of Dallas and underscores Flix’s long-term commitment to integrate intercity bus service into a broader national transportation network that connects travelers with public transit and other modes to make long-distance travel more accessible, seamless, and affordable across Texas and beyond.

    “Intercity buses are one of the most affordable and dependable ways to travel long distance, and we want to make them as easy to access as possible,” said Kai Boysan, CEO of Flix North America. “This new terminal offers better connectivity for DFW-area travelers and reflects our commitment to multimodal solutions—linking our services with public transit and other transportation modes to create a more seamless and convenient travel experience. It’s an important step in our mission to make long-distance travel more affordable, equitable, and efficient across Texas and the nation.”

    Flix SE acquired Greyhound in 2021, from FirstGroup, who kept the real estate, including the Dallas terminal, then sold it off — a process that left public transportation in peril in some areas.

    The Bachman Station is home to DART Rail stops for both the Green Line and the Orange Line DART. By locating across from a major multimodal hub with DART rail and bus service, the new facility will enable connections to DFW Airport, Dallas Love Field, downtown Dallas, Fair Park, and Deep Ellum. The terminal also allows for connections for FlixBus and Greyhound riders to suburbs such as Carrollton, Farmers Branch, Las Colinas, Richardson, and Plano.

    The same block along Harry Hines already has the Dallas Police Department Northwest Patrol headquarters as well as a city of Dallas Water Utilities building and a Greyhound Bus maintenance facility.

    Dallas City Council member Omar Narvaez said that "the new Greyhound/FlixBus terminal in Northwest Dallas represents a win for multimodal connectivity and smart urban planning. Its location—steps from the DART Bachman Station and with immediate access to I-35 and Northwest Highway—creates a powerful synergy that will benefit travelers throughout the region. I want to thank our city’s engineering and permitting teams for their dedication and collaboration in helping this project move forward efficiently."

    The relocation of Greyhound’s legacy terminal to the new facility is the latest milestone in the brand’s transformation under Flix ownership. Since acquiring Greyhound in 2021, Flix has introduced a modernized fleet, a data-driven technology platform, and a regionally empowered operating model—driving measurable improvements in reliability, efficiency, and customer experience.
