Harwood Hospitality Group, Dallas, Texas, United States, 75215
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, Htel 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 inspiration from the world's greatest cities - New York, London, and 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, and 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 and encounter the young at heart.
Intimate, immersive, and transportive. Htel 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.
Our Concepts Include:
Te Deseo
Te Deseo is currently seeking top talent to join our growing team.

Te Deseo manifested as our love letter to the liveliness, mystery, and community that blooms throughout the region. Te Deseo is our largest concept to date at 14,000 square feet with two levels, four bars, and seven unique dining rooms.
