A historic art deco icon meets cutting-edge luxury at this hotel in downtown Fort Worth, TX.
The Sinclair, a Marriott Autograph Collection Hotel
Project Overview
Since 1930, the Sinclair Building has stood as one of the most recognizable icons of downtown Fort Worth. Designed to reflect the art deco style of the Roaring 20s, the Sinclair Building served the surrounding business community before undergoing a dramatic transformation. Addressing the need for an innovative, intelligent luxury and lifestyle hotel in Fort Worth’s Sundance Square district, the Sinclair Building was restored to its original splendor, opening its doors to guests in 2019.
The Challenge
The hotel’s owner and management team sought state-of-the-art technology to power, sustain and manage the entire property while maintaining the historic building’s unique architectural details and addressing the complex needs of the space itself. Maximizing limited space was of the utmost importance. The team needed to consider replacing the inefficient air conditioning system that had taken up precious real estate on the property’s lower level, the property’s lower floor-to-ceiling heights – especially in the guest room–and minimal exterior space.
The Solution
LG’s award-winning Multi™ V IV Heat Recovery Unit was selected for the HVAC system for its ability to provide individual room comfort for each space within the larger property. Local HVAC and Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) technology experts, Texas Air Systems, advised on installing a variety of indoor solutions that could ensure a quiet conditioned space, including the design-forward LG Art Cool™ Mirror wall-mounted units and LG Ceiling Cassettes. In addition, LG’s AC Smart controller allowed property managers to seamlessly manage, set, and monitor the building’s heating and cooling performance. This innovative control solution is compatible with various applications and offers a single LG platform that drives both VRF technology and energy efficiency.

Products Featured in this Case Study
Ceiling & Concealed Ducted
The low static indoor unit is compatible with multi zone in these compact spaces.
ESS Battery Storage
Typical homes have high energy demands in the mornings and evenings but solar generation is highest mid-day. Without a home battery, the solar energy produced in the daytime would be wasted. A home battery allows you to store solar energy and use it whenever you need it.
4-Way Ceiling Cassette
Four-way air-flow ceiling-cassette indoor units, available in 2 x 2 and 3 x 3 sizes. The four-way controlled louvers and fan speed features on these ceiling cassette indoor units allow for even air distribution in large, open spaces.
