The house
MarriottMaximalist Beaux-Arts landmark
A century-old apartment hotel channels roaring-twenties theatricality, trading modern Dallas sheen for bold pattern and spirited cocktail nights.
“This renovated historic hideaway is a respite from Dallas’s usual obsession with the new and brassy.”
What it’s good at

Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
A thorough renovation by the London-based designers Fettle has left the Stoneleigh looking both refreshed and more historically resplendent than ever, taking inspiration from Dorothy Draper.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Uptown restaurants surround the block, and the shaded running paths of the Katy Trail sit a five-minute walk away.
The rooms
Pillow-top beds and marble bathrooms fill the rooms, while top-floor suites look out across the Uptown skyline.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool is lined with pink loungers, and the 24-hour gym has Peloton bikes and free weights.
Bar Leonessa
The marble lobby bar serves espresso by day and cocktails at night, with weekend DJ sets and 1920s-inspired music.
Restaurant
Lions Den
Chef Michael White's Italian supper club serves housemade pastas and prime cuts under patterned ceilings and globe lanterns.
How it began
Colonel Harry Stewart was an early resident who loved the hotel so much that he bought the entire building in 1934.
