American Airlines opened a $250 million employee-only hotel at its Texas headquarters in 2023.
The hotel features 600 rooms and numerous amenities, like a gym, an outdoor pool, and a cafeteria.
The “hospitality complex” is a central space where employees can work, meet, study, and socialize.

American Airlines spent $250 million to build an employee-only hotel at its sprawling Texas headquarters that opened in January 2023.

Complete with 600 rooms and heaps of amenities, the “hospitality complex” is basically a mini-city exclusive for employees traveling to the airline’s main hub, Dallas/Fort Worth, on company business.

Think flight attendant and pilot training or annual conferences. Eligibility extends to employees at American’s mainline operation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries like Envoy Air, Piedmont Airlines, and PSA Airlines.

American’s senior manager of corporate real estate, Holly Ragan, told Business Insider during a recent tour that the hotel’s purpose is to have everything in one place where employees can easily access everyday needs. It also creates community and pride among employees, she said.

“Skyview 6 is the central heart of campus where our team members can gather,” Ragan said. “We have dining, corn hole, a fitness center, a pool, and just various offerings to help our employees feel a sense of normalcy when they’re here.”
