The house
MarriottSky-lobby arts tower
Built for gallery visits and theater nights, the hotel lifts its lobby and terrace eleven floors above the downtown sidewalks.
“If you are in Dallas to visit The Dallas Arts Center and all its surrounding entertainment, you just can’t beat this insane location that makes all museums and venues walkable.”
What it’s good at

Commissioned brass sculptures and orchestral motifs accent the eleventh-floor sky lobby.

Rooftop bar Vincent's serves cocktails on an open-air terrace overlooking the arts district.
What they say
Also in Forbes Travel Guide and Condé Nast Traveler.
The 267-room hotel leans contemporary but warm, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing downtown’s evolving skyline and interiors that nod subtly to the neighboring museums.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Nasher Sculpture Center is around the corner, and Klyde Warren Park is a five-minute walk away.

The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows look out across downtown Dallas, and blackout curtains shut out the bright skyline at night.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
On the eleventh-floor deck, the heated swimming pool is lined with curtained cabanas facing the city.
Restaurant
JW Steakhouse
Steaks highlight regional Texas ranches, and kitchen herbs come straight from an on-site hydroponic garden.
At the table
Vincent's pours frozen drinks under forty-foot terrace ceilings, and JW Market serves local espresso in the sky lobby.
How it began
The tower was built directly atop an existing ten-story parking garage, adding fifteen hotel floors above the concrete base.
