8.4/10 Very Good! (2,377 reviews)
I admittedly was champing (yes, that is spelled correctly for all you non-equestrians) at the bit to write this review and it’s proven itself a delight. It’s not Sofitels little sister, but its Cool Auntie. Got a little time on her but knows how to show up at the party when it counts. Gone are the days of the white gloved bell boy and here to stay is a tatoo sleeved gentlemen opening doors with quiet respect. Not too much just enough to let you know he’s there. Then there was the equally smooth greeting by the most famous Concierge in Dallas. Marcus holding down at checkin took the handoff like Saquan running past them ‘Boys (how ‘bout ‘em). And finally met the goal post with a small belated birthday treat (I responded to the welcome email the day before- HINT HINT) for a weekend in my clean, well appointed but “Oh So Much Brown Almost Has A Brady Bunch Vibe Room.” Look folks on every level it meets the standard for welcoming, friendly and safe. The 9 foot deep pool that would even accommodate a Michael Phelps-ish wingspan on the terrace is groovy. Just water, wind and the Dallas skyline up there. The bar is a cozy, throwback with excellent service but don’t be surprised as comparisons to the Regal Beagle can’t be ignored. This Grand Dame of a hotel should not be ignored. She is well situated, value-centered, friendly and most of all reminds us all the marble, chrome, and wood are considered sustainable in almost any home, so embrace it.
