HOUSTON, Texas – Valencia Hotel Group announced that construction is underway on Caravan Court, the eighth property in the Valencia Hotel Collection, scheduled to open in 2026 in Arlington, Texas. Featuring 145 rooms and seven suites, Caravan Court will be a reinvention of the classic motor court hotel. Valencia Hotel Group, in partnership with Sam Mahrouq and Walid Joulani of Division Hotel Management LLC, will build the Caravan Court property on the site of the former Caravan Motel and Dollar Car Sales.
“Caravan Court is an unprecedented project for Valencia Hotel Group that exemplifies our expansion throughout Texas and is our first property in Arlington,” said Roy Kretschmer, Chief Operations Officer of Valencia Hotel Group. “We are excited to contribute to the revitalization of Division Street and look forward to becoming an integral part of the community, providing both economic benefits and being a vibrant hotspot for visitors and locals alike.”
Inspired by 1960s art, architecture and automotive design, Caravan Court will have a design that pays homage to the mid-century modern era, including the preservation of the Caravan Motor Hotel sign currently on the property. Amenities will include approximately 5,000 square feet of meeting space, a restaurant with a mid-century-style menu, and several bars, including a rooftop bar overlooking Division Street and the sports complex, a martini bar, and a poolside bar and restaurant.
Located near the Sports and Entertainment District, Caravan Court is a destination for visitors traveling to Six Flags Over Texas, a game or concert at AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field, or an event at Texas Live! Other amenities at Caravan Court include valet parking, shuttle service within a 5-mile radius, room service and poolside cabanas.
Valencia Hotel Group and Division Hotel Management have worked closely with the Arlington City Council to bring this project to life. The development of Caravan Court is expected to have an economic impact over the next 15 years, benefiting the local community through increased tax revenues and job creation. As part of the Division Corridor Plan, the project is expected to attract new restaurants, shops and entertainment venues.
The groundbreaking for Caravan Court came shortly after Valencia Hotel Group announced its largest capital raise to date, acquiring Cavalry Court and The George in College Station and securing majority ownership of all hotels in its management portfolio.
