What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Rooms are elegant and light-filled, outfitted in sleek ivory and gray with floor-to-ceiling windows and marble bathrooms, and sophisticated suites...are laid out like apartments.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Dallas Arts District and Klyde Warren Park are a short walk away, amid the walkable streets of Uptown.
The rooms
Ivory-toned rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows and marble bathrooms. Select suites span two levels connected by spiral staircases.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated year-round to 85 degrees, the second-floor rooftop pool is lined with bright orange umbrellas against the limestone facade.
The spa
Therapies include cryotherapy and thermal mud wraps alongside men's and women's relaxation lounges with hot and cold plunge pools.
The gym
TechnoGym weight stations and Peloton bikes line the mirrored fitness center under coffered ceiling lights.
Restaurant
The Crescent Club
Arched fanlight windows and coffered wood ceilings frame dinner and drinks seventeen floors above the Uptown skyline.
A 2018 renovation put these rooms and suites at the top of the Dallas hotel room totem pole thanks to the incredible interior design and… abundant natural light via the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Bar
Beau Nash
Set behind soaring limestone columns, this lounge pours dozens of champagnes and sparkling wines across a Spanish marble bar.
How it began
Oil heiress Caroline Rose Hunt built the complex on former car dealerships, using more limestone than the Empire State Building.
