    Fall is finally in the air, bringing cooler mornings, golden sunsets, and the perfect excuse to plan a weekend getaway. For Dallas-Fort Worth residents, Omni Hotels & Resorts’ Texas Two Step Package makes it easy to enjoy two incredible resorts—one right in your backyard and one worth the drive south.

    This fall, Omni Hotels & Resorts invites Dallasites to embrace the best of both worlds with the Texas Two Step Package, a luxurious way to enjoy your hometown at Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa and road-trip to Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa.

    Earn two free nights with the Texas Two Step Package.

    Earn two free nights with the Texas Two Step Package.

    When you book the Texas Two Step Package at both these resorts within the 2025 calendar year, you get these great benefits:

    • $500 resort credit at both properties for golf, spa treatments, or dining.
    • Two complimentary nights at any Omni Hotels & Resorts after completing stays at both resorts.
    • Personalized itineraries crafted by Omni’s Experience Planners, who arrange tee times, spa sessions, and insider dining tips.
    • 2025 bookings unlock an upgraded Select Guest loyalty tier and two bonus nights at any Omni resort.

    The Stay: Frisco’s golf-fueled fall playground

    There’s no need to venture far to feel like you’re on vacation. With championship golf, the lively PGA District, and seasonal culinary events, Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa offers a vibrant autumn escape just minutes from home. Treat yourself to a round of golf in crisp fall air, relax with a Mokara Spa treatment, or sip cocktails under twinkling patio lights after sunset.

    The Go: A Scenic Drive to Hill Country Charm

    When wanderlust kicks in, head south to Austin’s Hill Country for the second step of your journey at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa. This tranquil retreat is surrounded by seasonal foliage, nature trails perfect for cool-weather hikes, four championship golf courses, and cozy firepits for starlit evenings. It’s the ultimate contrast to Frisco’s buzz, offering serene scenery and rustic charm.

    Savor the best of Texas this fall

    Whether you stay local in Frisco for a quick autumn recharge or take a scenic road trip to Barton Creek’s rustic elegance, the Texas Two Step Package combines seasonal charm, luxury, and unbeatable perks.

    Start your fall journey at OmniHotels.com/TexasTwoStep and see how easy it is to experience two sides of Texas in one unforgettable season.

    Luxury hotel near DFW Airport unveils major refresh and new dining

    House of Toro is the new chophouse at The Ricardo Marriott.

    A longtime Westlake luxury hotel is ready to unveil a major renovation and rebrand to the public: The former Marriott Westlake has reopened as The Ricardo Marriott, named for famed Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta, the original designer of the hotel and its surrounding Solana Plaza.

    According to a release, the 293-room property near DFW Airport recent underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation that included several new dining concepts and social spaces, along with new design elements, guest room refurbishments, and a pool refresh.

    Dallas-based Coury Hospitality led the overhaul of the Marriott, Bonvoy Collection hotel.

    "The Ricardo Marriott represents an exciting new chapter for this property,” said Andrew Casperson, President of Coury Hospitality, in a statement. “This transformation goes beyond a renovation. It reflects an intentional effort to honor the building’s architectural significance while introducing a renewed identity that is bold, design-driven, and reflective of Westlake’s evolving character.”

    The renovations aimed to honor and augment Legorreta's original, 1987 design for the building and its campus, featuring his signature bold geometry and vibrant colors. (Legorreta's other well-known local building is the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, which features similarly striking colors and shapes.)

    "Legorreta’s architecture anchors the experience, creating a strong sense of arrival, while refreshed interiors introduce layered materials, contemporary furnishings and curated color that elevate the guest journey," says the release.

    The centerpiece of the renovation are the food and beverage offerings:

    • A new restaurant called House of Toro Chophouse & Patio serves as the hotel’s signature chophouse.
    • Black Pearl Lounge offers cocktails, light bites, and tableside caviar service.
    • Solana Lounge & Kitchen provides all-day dining with breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
    • Café31 offers Lavazza coffees, fresh pastries, and grab-and-go options.

    The hotel also features more than 15,000 square feet of updated meeting and event space, along with outdoor areas and a new-and-improved pool. The spaces are designed to accommodate a range of uses, from corporate meetings to weddings and social events, the release says.

    The Ricardo Marriott is now open and welcoming guests, at 1301 Solana Boulevard, Building 3, Westlake.
