NYLO Plans Third Dallas-Area Hotel

(January 2011) posted on Thu Jan 27, 2011 EST

Conversion project a first for the brand


NYLO Hotels LLC said it will open its third hotel in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, and that its new locale in the South Side Dallas district also marks two “firsts” for the lifestyle brand—its first conversion property and its hotel to pursue LEED Silver certification. Work on the five-story, 76-room, NYLO Dallas South Side will start during the first quarter of 2011 and is slated to be finished in about a year. The hotel will be operated by NYLO Hotels and developed by Matthews Southwest, which is also developing the nearby, 23-story Omni Dallas Hotel adjacent to the city's convention center.

“We're delighted to become part of the South Dallas community, and we look forward to the tremendous opportunities created with the NYLO South Side joining our NYLO Plano and NYLO Las Colinas hotel portfolio in DFW,” says Michael Mueller, president and ceo of NYLO Hotels. “This project will be the first of many NYLO conversion projects, and its existing historic brick building begs to be a NYLO Hotel.”

The edifice that will house the new hotel was originally home to the Dallas Coffin Co. and in more recent decades served as the site of a Sears regional office, The Dallas Morning News reported in its coverage of the NYLO announcement.
