MarriottGlass-atrium lakeside resort
The lakeside complex forms a self-contained world, housing indoor waterways and gardens beneath a four-acre climate-controlled glass atrium.
What it’s good at
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The 125-acre estate borders Lake Grapevine, and historic downtown Grapevine is five minutes away by car.

The rooms
Renovated in 2024, rooms keep to straightforward comfort with modern flooring, saving the theatrical scale for the atrium downstairs.
The pools and water park
Bring a swimsuit.
The seasonal water grounds hold a family lagoon with basketball hoops and a playhouse, beside heated rock-lined pools.
The spa
Relâche Spa has private suites for botanical facials and aromatherapy scrubs. A dry sauna completes the thermal wing.
The gym
The 24-hour fitness center holds Peloton bikes and Technogym cardio machines. Free weights and stair climbers round out the space.
At the table
Riverwalk Cantina borders indoor waterways stocked with koi fish, and Zeppole serves brick-oven pizza beneath atrium string lights.
How it began
Native limestone and timber trusses define the architecture, reflecting regional landmarks from the Alamo to Texas Hill Country.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
