In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Concert halls like Trees and colorful street murals line Elm Street just outside the front doors.
The rooms
Rooms keep things bright with white walls and dark green accents, hung with original art by local Dallas painters.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The courtyard pool is seasonally heated, lined with blue mosaic tiles and curtained private cabanas.
Restaurant
Elm & Good
Tufted leather booths sit beneath walls of ceramic plates, where diners gather for wood-fired dishes and craft cocktails.
Inside, the lobby and common spaces exposed steel and raw concrete bones have been softened with natural leather textures, custom furnishings and fittings such as vintage-jar inspired lighting, curated pieces from local artists
