arwood International, the global Dallasbased real estate firm, has opened the company’s flagship boutique hotel property, Hôtel Swexan. The hotel serves as the crown jewel of the more-walkablethan-ever 19-city block Harwood District.

Hôtel Swexan’s moniker stands for “Swiss meets Texan,” inspired by Harwood International founders’ multi-generational Swiss-Texan family heritage. Operated by Harwood Hospitality Group

with a collective of 100 years of experience, the destination represents a complete expression of the group’s five-decade-long vision for the Harwood neighborhood in Dallas. The hotel’s design is reflective of the founders’ travels and passion for art and design, offering guests an immersive European-inspired journey throughout the multi-faceted, transformative spaces.

Hôtel Swexan brings the neighborhood worldclass culinary, entertainment, and cultural

experiences layered throughout the building.

Five intimate and unexpected restaurants and bars are to be discovered within. Each is fully expressive and transports guests to another world. Designed with all generations in mind, the hotel plays host to an eclectic mix of personalities where locals and visitors collide.

“It is with great pride that we announce Hôtel Swexan to the ever-changing Dallas skyline and community. With a combination of exquisite Article Continued on 02

design, an exceptional location, and a nod to our company’s Swiss Texan heritage, the first-of-its-kind destination introduces a new level of style and distinctive Swiss-inspired luxury to our great city,” said Jessica Young Reid, Director of Marketing, Harwood International. “We believe the hotel adds a vibrance to the community, which has always been central to our company’s mission. We hope the space becomes a best-loved culinary, cultural, and nightlife destination right in the heart of Harwood District.”

The 22-story modern tower is the third building in the Harwood District designed with world-renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. The mirrored structure exemplifies Kuma’s philosophy that buildings should enrich the connection between architecture and its surrounding landscape. "For Hôtel Swexan, we were assigned the task of designing the building's facades, which for us was like tailoring a suit—precise and crisp in the Swiss approach and relaxed and robust in the Texan spirit—made of local materials. The horizontals and verticals build on the theme found throughout our projects for Harwood, a loose and woven grid. This suit should feel made for the spaces and the rich diversity within, welcoming, with surprising moments and movement throughout. We are interested in the continuity between regional tradition and cosmopolitan modernity.

This exterior coat sets the tone, and wears through the day with changing light, from morning to dusk and into the evening," said Kengo Kuma.

with the contemporary and a twist on conventions, incorporating a blend of influences that work together in harmony. Art and design elements throughout are inspired by exploration and adventure, offering a creative flair that is both timeless and unique. As visitors meander, they will be taken on a journey to experience and explore each European city that has inspired the interior architecture and furnishings. The hotel’s service elements are specially crafted as a form of art, providing an immersive life-as-art guest experience.

Hôtel Swexan’s grand foyer serves as a backdrop for unique artworks that will change year-round. The hotel’s interior architectural details are inspired by a classical 19th-century Parisian residence-turnedhotel, with comfortable yet elegant furniture and intricate, handcarved stone and wooden fireplaces on every floor of the hotel.

Really well balanced

1. Have a Theme

The best way to start planning an event is to decide on a theme.

Whether it's a "Welcome to Spring" party or a "Carnival" event, all decisions stem from the foundation.

Decor, and even food & beverage can easily be selected from there.

2. Keep it Simple 3. Timing is Key & Days

Great fruit and the perfect complement to oysters and other shellfish

Classic Rhone Varietals

Today, hosting events is exciting but can also get stressful, and Harwood Hospitality Group's Vice President of Catering, Karen Carlough, shares her tips & tricks for how to execute a flawless event.

Make sure you plan with enough time for people to RSVP - 2 weeks notification for people is much better.

5 TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL EVENT PLANNING

Consider booking your event on a weekday, and even during the times

of 3-5 PM. Most venues will give you a better deal on using their space as these days and times normally are quiet and slow times.

4. Budget & Stick With It

One example to best maximize your budget is to limit selections, such as offering only beer and wine for beverages, since alcohol has been shown to consume most of a budget.

5. Get Feedback

The best way to improve on your next event is to learn from any mistakes and to follow up with clients or guests after the event for feedback.

Q. What is your favorite pizza at Poco Fiasco?

A. I would have to go with The

Prosciutto. As simple of a pie it is, it is complex in flavor.

The saltiness of the prosciutto counterbalances the bitterness of the arugula, then the sweetness of the hot honey brings it all together.
