Bedford Lodging is currently in the process of transforming a former Dallas firehouse into a luxurious hotel and restaurant. The historic firehouse, originally built in 1911, is nearing completion after undergoing extensive renovations. With an estimated cost of $27 million, this project marks an exciting new addition to the hospitality industry.
Located at 503 Bryan Ave, the newly renovated building will be known as Nobleman Hotel and will offer 153 elegant guest rooms. The hotel’s dining experience will be provided by its on-site restaurant called The Duchess which will operate under the prestigious Hilton brand.
In addition to its stylish accommodations and fine dining options, Fire Station No.5 – as it was previously known – has been enhanced with modern amenities such as a pool, fitness center and versatile event spaces spanning over 1,500 square feet both indoors and outdoors.
