- 🎥 Exploring JFK's Final Hotel Room | Witness the Historic Suite Where President John F. Kennedy Stayed Before His Tragic Assassination in Dallas, Texas!
In this captivating video, join me as I embark on a journey to the very hotel where President JFK spent his last night with his beloved wife. Discover the hidden history as we step into the room on the 8th floor, known as 850 at the time, which has now been divided into four separate rooms (806, 808, 810, 812). The exact spot where JFK's bed was positioned lies in Room 810.
On that fateful morning of November 22, 1963, John F. Kennedy delivered his final address before departing from this very hotel. Following a speech in the hotel's ballroom and a press conference right in front of the establishment, the President's motorcade left, marking the end of a more innocent era in America.
Today, the hotel, once known as Hotel Texas, has been acquired by Hilton, yet its historical significance remains intact. If you're curious to relive a piece of history, you can find it at 815 Main St, Fort Worth, TX 76102.
Join me on this immersive experience as we pay tribute to the legacy of JFK and delve into the past of this iconic hotel room. Don't miss this unique opportunity to connect with a pivotal moment in American history. Hit the play button and subscribe for more captivating historical adventures! 🇺🇸✨

Hey, Umbrella man is still there!! 3:25 in the video!!
Haha I did speak to that guy. He was selling DVD’s with some conspiracy theories on them.
Thanks for posting this video. I always wondered why Dealy Plaza was not closed by the City of Dallas… A place so iconic where JFK was shot. Also room 850 should have been forever closed out of respect for the President! Every time I see his last moments I get chills… 😢😢😢
Love the shot at the end driving towards the overpass. You never see that point of view. Well done.
Thank you!
I'll never forget that day. I was born and raised in Ft. Worth and in the 5th grade at the time. The teachers were called to the office, told the news and they all returned to their classrooms to share the news with the students.
I can only imagine. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I was just a couple of years old JL so I would n t even remember but I ll bet it was really horrid and so gruesome I imagine those words the president is dead were really creepy Maybe if I m lucky I can visit there someday
Even though most people were sad & horrified that JFK was assassinated!! There were some across the country who were glad that it happened. The comments ranged from Hey JFK croaked to I hope they got Jackie. So it just goes to show that history has tried to sanitize the reaction to the assassination instead of actually acknowledging that some segment of the country were glad that JFK was killed.
My wife and I have stayed at the Fort Worth Hilton many times, and I always wondered where Jack stayed, now I know. Will try to get 810 the next time we stay! For those who have never been to Dealey Plaza, the first thing you should be hit with the realization of is that there was a reason why the motorcade was changed to go down Elm Street, and why JFK was not shot coming down Houston St, where someone firing from the TSBD would have had an easier, closer shot; it was to setup a triangulation of fire for multiple shooters.
The motorcade route wasn't changed, it was published in two Dallas newspapers on Tuesday, November 19th. The shot on Houston was not easier. It is harder to track a target moving toward you and to the left, than a target moving away from you in virtually a straight line. Connally was also in front of JFK coming down Houston, not on Elm. It would also be harder to see Oswald and determine where the shots were coming from on Elm.
Thank you. I will have to visit this hotel.
Germany loved JFK ❤! R.I.P Mr. President ! Thanks for sharing. One day, I want to visit Hayanisport, Arlington and Fort Worth/Dallas. Kind regards from 🇩🇪
Thanks for sharing this video with us. On November 22, 1963, I was 11 months old. Throughout the years, I asked my dad numerous times where were we when the assassination happened. He told me that we were coming back from my godmother who lived in Oxnard, Ca. As we were making a stop on the off-ramp at Grand Avenue in Arroyo Grande, Ca., the news flash came over the radio in his white 1960 Ford Station wagon.
Thanks for sharing your story, Jorge.
You re welcome in reply to saying thank you Jorge Fernandez
@@WisestGeneration I like your story too Jorge Fernandez
Very cool video….. always will remember this… I was in the 5th grade at the time…. On my bucket list….
Thanks for sharing this, Fred!
I was living at the Ripley Arnold Housing Project in 1963. I was 9 years old. School let out for that day. We saw Jack and Jackie, in their Motorcadd on the way to Carswell Air Force Base. That was about 11am. He was Assinated, an hour and a half later.
Wow! Thanks for sharing this with us, Michael.
Hey Vladimir: Thanks alot for sharing and making a small movie about your experience only one word dude "AWESOME" !!!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Doug!
I agree Doug Cooper
Thanks for sharing
Cool video bro! I have been doing a lot of research on JFK lately so this was a nice short video !
Thank you for watching, Theodore!
Pretty cool, my grandfather was in the jack ruby trial, sketched bullet trajectorys for the case.
Thanks for sharing!! Nice video!! Great President with no comparison!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Great editing!
Thank you!
watching & learning here, good voice quality 😏
Thank you!
Really love this video! That’s so very cool!
Thank you for your kind words, Rob!
This just came across my feed to watch. It looks like you missed visiting the 6th Floor Museum in Dallas. It's in the old Schoolbook Depository building and has lots of photos, videos and a sealed area where LHO was supposed to have taken the shots. My mother worked in the laundry at the Hotel Texas and pressed the suit he wore to the breakfast and was eventually killed in. She and the others were able to catch a glimpse of him during the outdoor speech at the hotel. I wasn't born yet but my siblings and parents always said how devastated the city was when it happened.
Is your mother still alive?
@@WisestGeneration Yes, she just turned 89 in April.
Wow! Would it be possible to talk to your mom???
I m sure it must have been really bad Victoria Marin Walton about Kennedy By the way I like your story I was only a couple of years old then So I have no recall of any of it I m 61 now
@@crazycatwalton Who turned 89 when ?
I have stayed at this hotel many times . Never been to JFK room though . Thanks for sharing .
Thanks for watching!
Extremely well done. You should do more videos on anything. Take care.
Thank you for your kind words. Made my day :)
Yes....
I went to Dallas where all that happened….I swear it’s haunted….I stood there and when I saw the 2 x’s in the street I got chills right up my spine….
I can relate. Staying at that hotel was kind of creepy too.
Yeah When did you go there Mack Dog ? Was it kind of creepy ?
I m happy for you Mack Dog If you want to know I am a couple of months away from being 61 years old
I was only a couple of years old then Mack Dog But thinking of what it must have been like gives me the creeps too
@@WisestGeneration I reckon so
I was just 5 years old then…but I remember every detail. This was an excellent presentation.
Thanks for watching!
I ll bet it was just horrid Ben Burra So gruesome too How creepy those words must have been the president is dead I was only a couple of years old then so I would n t remember anything
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching! Let me know what video do you want me to make next.
Interesting! Good job!
My friend’s uncle was a cook at that hotel. He may have prepared the president’s last meal.
Was he a cook by in the 60's?
Very nicely done.
Thank you!
I am so sorry that you didn't get in to see the Crystal Ballroom 😓.
I kind of got to see the inside through the crack.
1:43 Sorry the JFK statue is NOT the exact spot the President gave his last speech for two reasons. But it is not your fault for making that mistake. First his last speech was inside the hotel in the ballroom to speak with Fort Worth business and political leaders, where Jackey Kennedy came in wearing the famous pink suite. But just before his ballroom speech. A crowd gathered outside the hotel. And for a politician that is pure gold. So a unplanned impromptu "Public" speech was given. And that speech was the next to last speech JFK would ever give. So you can say JFK gave his last two speeches in Fort Worth. Or another way of saying it, he gave his last public speech in Fort Worth, and his last private speech in Fort Worth ? The "exact" location of President outdoor speech is in FRONT of the hotel. Fort Worth leaders messed up by the bad development in front of the hotel and should of been a JFK park. That statue should be in FRONT of the hotel. But anyway that statue is near the spot but not the exact spot.
I appreciate you taking the time to explain this to me.
How cool it was you were able to do that
I know! That's why I had to make a video about it.
I wasn’t even staying in Hotel Texas and they gave me a mini tour. They accept their place in history.
I wish they let me in the ballroom. I asked, but the answer was no. :(
Great work!
I'll never forget that day. I was a Freshman in High School in an English class. They came over the PA to tell us. I remember looking at the clock; it was 1:00. They let the school out, and my Sister and I went home. My Mother did not have a radio or TV on, so she knew nothing of what happened. I was the first to walk in, and she asked why are y'all home so early? I told her about Kennedy, and she slapped me! I said I didn't do it! I'll never forget, ever. I only regret that we were in church when Oswald was shot live on TV. I missed that.
Thanks for sharing this with us, Joyce!
Enjoyed your video. Thanks for posting. May I ask where you found that HD color footage of JFK? Thanks in advance. : )
I think it was from this link: ruclips.net/video/xNOekHVIc-8/видео.html
@@WisestGeneration Thanks but that wasn't it. The link you sent has is the same footage but with some guy's stupid watermarks all over it (as if he shot the footage himself or something) I am practicing restoring and color timing old footage, but I'll be damned if I'm doing all that work with silly watermarks all over the footage. Thanks anyway. : )
The car with the flowers in the back was not the presidential limousine as it only has two rows of seats. Mrs Johnson said she had a bouquet of yellow roses and she, the Vice President and Senator Ralph Yarbrough sat three across in a Lincoln sedan. I’d bet that’s the car shown with the flowers.
I didn't know...I am thrilled
Thank you for sharing this video Who knows maybe some day if I m very lucky I can do the same as you did Have a great day
Underrated
You had to have been there. RIP Jack.
Were you there?
@@WisestGeneration Yes . My dad was stationed at Carswell AFB and we say JFK & Jackie board AF1 to fly to Dallas. I was only 4 yo so don't recall much but remember my mother crying so hard I thought my Dad had died. So I started to cry too. Very sad time.
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing.
One thing that always has confused me watching the videos is the shot of the car with the flowers down in the middle right after the shooting and where is all the blood??? Google pictures show a massacre in that car once its pulled into the garage. But the video directly after the shooting has no blood in the seat
The car with the yellow flowers is the car that the Johnsons were riding in, it was the second car behind the President's Limousine - it is not the JFK car. Mrs. Kennedy had red roses that day.
@@JAYM3STIndeed she did. They were given to her by Mayor Cabell's wife soon after Jack and Jackie landed. Cabell's brother had been a DDCIA until soon after the Bay of Pigs....
Poignant video. Well done.
Thank you!
Did you get hassled by the Dealy Plaza tour guides? They get pissed when you take a tour on your own.
Yes!!! Kept telling me to also buy their DVD’s
JFKs last speech was in the ballroom of the hotel, not the parking lot. So you didn’t stand where he made his last speech
That's right Jacquie was late.typical
Humour said no one wonders what
Lyndon and I wear. They presented
Him with a Texas hat.
I used to take the train down to Dallas. I remember when they where filming 11.22.63 which is about John F.K.
Omg this is so cool!
Thanks for watching!
Good video,well done,but just a few pointers,slow down ,let us have a real good look at the room,the statue,more close ups, there is no rush , take more time 🤗,do this and you will be wonderful,just subscribed!!!!!
Thank you for your honest feedback, Maria.
@@WisestGeneration you are welcome, I luck forward to your future work, remember in your head as you are going round one thing,we are at your side,you are our eyes !!!!! God bless😊🇬🇧
Well said Maria Evan's
How was live when he was assassinated and what you did was very good video. Think I would love to walk in your steps and do the same thing that you just did. Thank you, be safe
Thank you for watching, William!
Love this, subbed.
Thank you for your kind words, Jaye! Let me know what video you would want me to make next.
@@WisestGeneration different historical locations like that are facinating, would love to see anything about Kurt cobain , Paul walker, billy the kid, famous crime scenes like tupac or biggie. You have brilliant narration and editing so whatever my man 👍
I worked at that Hilton hotel for years.
Oh really Adrienne Hardee Cool !
That’s a cool video Vladimir
Thank you for your kind words, Mike!!!
I have driven over that X countless times and never knew
Great video, Thanku
Thank you for watching!
I want to go to Dallas but I don't know how much money does anybody know
stay at Hilton Garden Inn off Stemmons Freeway. close and good food.
I would like to go too Amy Lianos and I would n t know how much money that would cost
@@ericlawson7395 Sounds nice
I can only imagine what the made must have thought Like here today and gone tomorrow Something like that I reckon
On your 18-105, did you use your hood during the rain?
No, I did not.
Wonder how much it costs to stay in his last room, if it costs more than the others?
I think it is the same price.
I have visited Dealey Plaza, and one thing that struck me as how small the area is. I believe that Oswald acted alone, and being there helped me get perspective on how one shooter could do it.
I thought the same thing about it’s size.
Lyndon Baines Johnson was business partner, friend, and political Ally of David Harold Bryd who owned the Texas Schoolbook Depository Building on November 22, 1963, Byrd
was an big financial supporter of Lyndon Baines Johnson.
Johnson wanted to be President of the United States so bad
he was willing to kill for the position, he created the Warren
Commission to cover his butt. There was also the Cabell
brothers ,Charles and Earl Cabell. Charles Cabell was Deputy
CIA Director under Allen Dulles, President Kennedy fired both
Allen Dulles and Charles Cabell because they were insubordinate
toward him after the Bay of Pigs Mission in 1961 involving the
Cuban Exiles because of lack of air support, Charles Cabell
was angry over his firing and wanted President Kennedy dead,
His brother Earl was the Mayor of Dallas, Texas on November
22, 1963, he was in charge of motorcades and parade routes,
also the Dallas Police Department. Allen Dulles was on the
Warren Commission. Lyndon Baines Johnson had a lot of
influence in the State of Texas especially Dallas, he had a
lot of imput on the motorcade, President Kennedy was just
a dignified guest in that city and he was set up, Lee Oswald
was an flunky and so was Jacob Rubenstein. A lot of
money was invested on professional assassins and hitmen.
Lyndon Baines Johnson was ambitious, crazy, and ruthless.
President Kennedy and Lyndon had an altercation in the room
at the Hotel Texas earlier that morning in Fort Worth, the altercation was about the Dallas motorcade, it was witnessed
by Kennedy's personal secretary Eyelyn Lincoln and his wife
Jackie. Johnson and Kennedy didn't like each other and also
the way Johnson glared at President Kennedy in the ballroom
that morning, I would say there was tension hours before the
assassination.
fiveandtwoball I believe it was just Oswald There was no conspiracy
@@everettalexander5990 I m not convinced there was any conspiracy That s all speculation
The Warren Commission is speculation because David Harold Bryd and
Lyndon Baines did an
Photo pop in 1972 at
an University of Texas
Football Game, Johnson created the
Warren Commisson to
cover his butt because
he wanted to be President so bad he was willing to kill for
that position, Sir if you'
want to believe the
Warren Commission
good, I visited Dealey
Plaza also, President
Kennedy was setup.
Oswald was an flunky.
The year after I visited
the Plaza I joined the
US Army, basic at Fort
Leonard Wood, Missouri.
In mi#le school a teacher had a record of f his last speech. I got to listen to it.
Excellent it would be something if I was able to do the same thing I would n t hesitate if I had the chance
Set a Hilton hotel
Bruh I have lived in fw my whole life didn't know this
I’m glad you learned it from me :)
JFK stopped at CHIPOTLE ?
No, but I did :).
i think JFK sure beautiful president !!!
Do y'all think Oswald killed Kennedy?
I don’t think so.
@@WisestGeneration I was hoping not.
And that's where the world lost its hope!🇺🇸🤺
I don’t think we will ever know who really killed JFK.
@@WisestGeneration, I agree!🤺🇦🇺
Next time tell your brother not to turn on LA Costra Nostra........
Is that what JFK was part of?
Creepy
Staying at that hotel and walking those halls was very creepy.
Poverino condoglianze alla famiglia dei nostri eroi di questo mondo una preghiera 😭😭😭😭👃👃👃
WAS Marilyn Monroe in That Hotel Room with JFK 🔫 Did You Have the same Breakfast as JFK ??????
Is your Life that Empty and Meaningless ?????????
