Etta's Place Bed & Breakfast

A bed and breakfast inn located in Sundance Square, Etta's Place captures the feel of a southern home and a prestigious private club. With just 10 guest rooms and suites , all featuring private baths, the inn caters to discriminating travelers preferring personal service, privacy, well-appointed accommodations and the best location in downtown Fort Worth.

Etta's Place just around the corner from the Reata Restaurant. Where the Fort Worth's Water Gardens and Convention Center is located today was yesterday's Hell's Half Acre. Butch Cassidy and his partner, The Sundance Kid, resided here for a time. Etta Place, after whom the inn has been named, was commonly known as the girlfriend of The Sundance Kid. She is believed to have been a Fort Worth school teacher by day and a Madame for a Bordello at night. Recalling those lawless and rough years, Etta's Place depicts the gentler side of our Texas heritage, catering to midweek business travelers and those seeking a weekend getaway.

The coffee nook, located on the 3rd floor, is fully stocked. Guests are treated to home-cooked breakfasts, including juice, coffee, fresh fruit, and home baked muffins. Imagine eating a full gourmet breakfast ranging from eggs benedict to banana pancakes with toasted pecans. Breakfast is served either in the dining room or on the patio area just off the dining room. There is a music room with a Steinway Grand, Library room with tables and chairs reminiscent of the English Club area. A game room is in a loft area that overlooks the Music Room.
