Is Marriott Dallas/Fort Worth Westlake closer to Dallas or Fort Worth?
Neither, by design. It sits in Westlake near the Highway 114/170 corridor, roughly midway between the two downtowns, which is why regional planners use it as neutral ground.

Marriott Dallas/Fort Worth Westlake: Event Planning in Westlake
Marriott Dallas/Fort Worth Westlake sits at the literal midpoint between Dallas and Fort Worth, which makes it the pick when a program needs neutral ground for attendees split across both metros rather than a downtown address favoring one side.
Planning focusThe property is a resort-style conference hotel located between Dallas and Fort Worth in Westlake.
Local requirementMeeting and event space totals over 26,000 square feet, sized for corporate retreats and mid-size conferences rather than a full exhibit hall.
Execution detailThe Westlake location sits near the Highway 114/170 corridor, roughly equidistant from DFW Airport, downtown Dallas, and downtown Fort Worth.
Venue
Why 'Midpoint' Actually Matters
A program with attendees split between Dallas-based and Fort Worth-based teams runs into a fairness problem the moment a downtown venue gets picked, since one side always drives farther. Westlake's position on the 114/170 corridor removes that argument by keeping the drive close to even for both sides.
Resort Format, Not Hall Format
The property is a resort-style conference hotel, which means grounds, dining, and meeting rooms sized for a corporate retreat or leadership offsite rather than a flat exhibit hall floor. Over 26,000 square feet of event space covers a mid-size conference comfortably but will not hold a trade show with a large exhibitor count.
DFW Airport Access for Out-of-Region Attendees
Westlake sits close enough to DFW Airport that a program pulling attendees from outside Texas can run a short shuttle rather than a long drive, which matters for a multi-city sales meeting or a national retreat that is not purely a Dallas-Fort Worth audience.
When the Program Outgrows Westlake
Once a conference needs a true exhibit floor, booth rows, drayage, dock access, Westlake's resort format is not the right fit. That kind of program moves to a hall built for it, such as Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas.
