Business Wire
Dallas-based Braniff Airways, Inc., dba Braniff International,
announces that its licensed hotel building has been listed in the
National Park Service National Register of Historic Places,
according to Braniff Airways Chairman Richard Ben Cass. The Texas
Historical Commission posted that the nomination was officially
listed in the Register on March 2, 2021.
In November 2020, Braniff licensed a new Braniff-themed hotel
project at the former Braniff International Hostess College located
in the Oaklawn neighborhood of Dallas. The boutique hotel is
tentatively scheduled to open in 2022, once the facility is fully
remodeled. In 2014, Braniff Airways Foundation initiated the
process to have the building listed in the National Register.
The hotel is planned to feature 75 luxury rooms amidst the
elegant and stylish themes of Braniff International including both
historic as well as recently created designs and styles. The hotel
will be the only Braniff hotel in existence in the United States
with the TWA Hotel in New York as the only other airline-themed
hotelier. Proposed amenities include a restaurant, bar and large
swimming pool with outdoor beverage service. A Braniff Boutique
store will be housed in the new hotel offering luxurious
Braniff-branded goods ranging from model airplanes to bags and
apparel.
