This month, Conde Nast Traveler highlighted the best hotels in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Conde Nast says, “Here are the best hotels in Dallas-Forth Worth for when your travels next take you to Texas. We suggest popping your plans into a map and seeing which posh property makes the most sense logistically for your plans in the land of longhorn leisure. After all, everything is bigger here—including this lengthy list of options, and they have banded together to create quite the impressive portfolio to represent the region.”
This prestigious list includes Hotel Crescent Court, Le Meridien Dallas, The Stoneleigh, and The Highland Dallas, Curio Collection.
Hotel Crescent Court
READERS’ CHOICE AWARDS 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023This hotel has the ability to transport you to a relaxing oasis miles from the hustle and bustle of busy Dallas, despite being in the middle of Uptown.

Food and drink are on point with the Dallas outpost of Nobu and stellar cocktails at Beau Nash. Its chic clientele helps the property maintain its reputation as an Uptown staple despite the plethora of new hotels that are opening all around it.

A $36 million renovation restored this historic celebrity hideaway to its Art Deco splendor, and a stay provides a respite from Dallas’s typical obsession with the new and brassy.

The accommodations feel grand in scale, are decorated in a palette of teal with cinnamon, and have high ceilings, commissioned Texas artwork, and sizable tubs. In the 1930s, Dorothy Draper designed the original owner’s twelfth-floor Penthouse residence, which was transformed by the current head of her eponymous firm into a dramatic Presidential Suite; the assemblage of rooms retains many of the original details, including the secret passageways and balconies.
