Fort Worth does not shy away from its reputation of being “where the West begins”. Nowhere is this truer than the Stockyards – where the twice-daily cattle drives are number one on most travelers’ to-do lists. As befitting a state is where the mercury kisses the high-30s in summer, finding a Fort Worth hotel with a pool is another requisite. We’ve rounded up the best splash-happy retreats – bookable on Culture Trip.

1. Hilton Fort Worth, for a classic Texas dinner

This hotel is by the local National Register of Historic Place – the site of the last presidential address of JFK. Sundance Square – the 35-block shopping and entertainment apex of Fort Worth – is also just a five-minute stroll away. As well as the pool, there’s a modern, 1,000sqft (93sqm) fitness center – the perfect spot to burn off calories you may acquire in the on-site restaurant, Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. Feeling brave? Get the 40oz Tomahawk for two – and head straight to bed after.
