About this role
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, Hôtel 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. Hôtel 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.
