Fort Worth, Texas, the largest city in Tarrant County, has one of the best downtowns in the state, and beautiful Sundance Square is at the heart of it all. Its brick roads, unique buildings, and tall green trees, all surrounding the Tarrant County Courthouse, are a delight. I never tire of walking around the upbeat square. It’s an urban area of Fort Worth where downtown residents and visitors alike come out to play and unwind after a busy day. You could absolutely get lost in this part of town lost in a good way, that is! It’s a safe, clean, and gorgeous area, and best of all, it’s very walkable.

After getting an invitation to a Kentucky Derby Progressive Brunch at AC Hotel in Downtown Fort Worth, I had to do some fast talking to convince my husband to join me and a group of bloggers (all women) at this festive event. The invitation suggested wearing our Big Derby-style Hats, so he pointed out “that obviously means women, not me.”
But we both love Fort Worth, and he was also intrigued at a chance to tour the host hotel in downtown Fort Worth. The AC Hotel Downtown Fort Worth is an upscale new Marriott, centrally located just steps away from Sundance Square, Bass Hall, and the convention center. After I promised he could wear his favorite Ducks Unlimited cap instead of a big hat, he agreed to go with me.
