    Hall Group to open new hotel in mixed-use re-do of Frisco office park

    Frisco is getting a new hotel at one of the city's pioneering office developments: Called the Hall Park Hotel, Autograph Collection, it'll open at Hall Park, and will be part of the Autograph Collection Hotels – Marriott Bonvoy collection.

    According to a release, construction is anticipated to be complete in late 2023, with an opening set for spring 2024.

    The hotel is part of the first phase of a $7 billion new masterplan to shift Hall Park from an office focus into a live-work-play community. It'll be owned by Dallas-based Hall Group, and operated by Coury Hospitality.

    Autograph Collection Hotels – Marriott Bonvoy is known for its diverse independent hotels that champion individuality.

    Hall Park Hotel will feature:

    • world-class contemporary art
    • outdoor pool
    • 4,000 square-foot ballroom
    • state-of-the-art fitness center
    • chef-driven restaurant and lounge
    • expansive patio

    There will be 224 guest rooms and 60 well-appointed suites, supporting both short term and longer stays, with a focus on business travelers, events, meetings, regional “staycationers,” and tourists visiting Toyota Stadium, The Star in Frisco, regional youth sports tournaments, the upcoming PGA of America complex, and Universal Studios Park.

    This makes the second hotel for Hall Group, the first being the Hall Arts Hotel which opened in the Dallas Arts District in 2019; and the fifth Autograph Hotel in the DFW area (others include the Adolphus in downtown Dallas, Hotel Vin in Grapevine, the Sinclair in Fort Worth, and Hotel Drover in Fort Worth).

    Coury Hospitality is based in Las Colinas, with a portfolio of more than 30 hotels and restaurants, including 10 hotels in the Autograph Collection.

    “Our partnership with Autograph Collection Hotels provides the opportunity to deliver a one-of-a-kind property to the residents and visitors of Frisco that will include a museum-quality art collection and world-class food and wine offerings,” says Hall Group chairman and CEO Craig Hall. “Framed by views of the art-filled Kaleidoscope Park, which is currently underway, hotel guests will be able to experience Frisco not only as a business and sports hub but also as an emerging arts and culture destination.”

    Other new developments at Hall Park include The Monarch, a 19-story, luxury apartment tower expected to open in the fourth quarter. It'll have 214 units with 29 floorplans, including eight penthouse units with oversized balconies and high-end appliances and finishes, spa-inspired master baths and park views.

    Amenities include a club room with kitchen, pool, fitness center, outdoor grilling areas, yoga and meditation space, bike storage, pet washing area, and meeting space.

    The base of the residential tower will hold a 10,000-square-foot eatery, slated to open in 2024, with a diverse selection of 10 unique, chef-driven restaurants.

    They're also building The Tower at Hall Park, a 16-story office tower that shares a podium with the hotel and will boast multiple terraces on every suite level, outdoor amenity space, and direct park access. That tower will also include 10,000 square feet of ground-level retail and restaurant space facing Kaleidoscope Park. It's also forecast to open in the fourth quarter of 2023.

    DFW and Love Field saw sharp passenger declines in 2025, per report

    DFW is the third most popular destination in the U.S., yet passenger traffic has dropped, according to the report.

    A new global airport travel study has revealed passenger traffic at both Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and Dallas Love Field Airport have sharply decreased from 2024 to 2025.

    The analysis from travel magazine LocalsInsider examined recently released data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), the U.S. International Trade Association, and a nationwide survey to determine the following American traveler habits: The most popular U.S. and international destinations, emerging hotspots, and destinations on the decline. The study covered passenger travel trends from January through July 2025.

    In the report's ranking of the 40 U.S. airports with the sharpest declines in passenger traffic, Dallas Love Field (DAL) had the 11th steepest drop, while Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW) ranked 33rd on the list.

    More than 5.13 million arrivals were reported at DAL from January through July 2024, compared to over 4.75 million during the same seven-month period in 2025. According to the data, that's a 7.4 percent drop in passenger traffic year-over-year, or a loss of 380,295 passengers.

    DFW had a higher numerical decrease in passenger traffic from 2024 to 2025 – with 578,715 fewer arrivals reported – but it only represents a 2.4 percent drop in arrivals overall. More than 23.83 million passengers arrived in DFW during the first seven months of 2024, compared to 23.25 million this year.

    Despite the year-over-year drop in passenger traffic, the report also dubbed DFW as the No. 3 most popular destination in the country for 2025. DFW had the third-highest rate of air passenger traffic out of all U.S. airports from January to May 2025, amounting to 13,853,733 arrivals.

    "Despite the rise of secondary airports and new emerging hotspots, the busiest hubs still dominate when it comes to raw passenger traffic," the report's author wrote. "These destinations remain leaders due to a mix of business, tourism, and international connectivity."

    Passenger traffic declines at other Texas airports
    It appears most major Texas airports had drops in passenger traffic from 2024 to 2025. DAL was the worst offender in the state, and Houston's William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) saw a 7.1 percent decline, representing the second-steepest drop in passenger arrivals in Texas.

    Over 4.26 million passengers arrived at HOU from January to July 2024, but that number fell by nearly 301,000 passengers during the same time period this year. Only 3.96 million passengers arrivals were reported at HOU during the first seven months of 2025.

    This is how passenger traffic has fallen at other major Texas airports from 2024 to 2025:

    Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS):

    • 6,107,597 – Passenger arrivals from January to July 2024
    • 5,828,396 – Passenger arrivals from January to July 2025
    • -4.6 percent – Year-over-year passenger change
    San Antonio International Airport (SAT):
    • 2,937,870 – Passenger arrivals from January to July 2024
    • 2,836,774 – Passenger arrivals from January to July 2025
    • -3.4 percent – Year-over-year passenger change
    El Paso International Airport (ELP):
    • 1,094,431 – Passenger arrivals from January to July 2024
    • 1,076,845 – Passenger arrivals from January to July 2025
    • -1.6 percent – Year-over-year passenger change
