The Arts District
When the 9-5 grind ends, you’ll find that it’s the outer neighbourhoods of Dallas that really spring to life. Located on the northern reaches of downtown, The Arts District is a creative melting pot of galleries, fine-dining, world-class museums, and home to the famed Dallas Museum of Art.
Those with a keen eye for style and design will love the hotels that call this area home. Extra attention to detail combined with a Texan flair adds to the luxury and prestige that is The Fairmont, Indigo Downtown is a chic National Historic Landmark, and award-winning Rosewood Crescent presents a collection of fine-dining venues including Nobu.
Attractions galore in Arlington
Sports-mad Dallas runs the gamut of national sports, with football, baseball, hockey and basketball teams all represented here. Not only the home ground for the iconic Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers, the suburb of Arlington is heaving with a wealth of exciting leisure pursuits, malls and restaurants.
No matter which hotel you choose, you won’t be far from the attractions. SpringHill Suites, Holiday Inn Express, Homewood Suites by Hilton and Days Inn are all comfortable mid-range options within minutes of the stadia, Six Flags theme parks and sprawling shopping outlets.
Downtown delights
Where everything is bigger in Texas, Dallas is no exception. Unlike other cities, its main attractions aren’t limited to downtown; in fact, the city centre is most reserved for the central business district. However, there are a few gems to be found among the skyscrapers, including Dallas World Aquarium and Reunion Tower, and a collection of hotels that ensure sightseeing between these sites is a breeze.
Hilton Garden Inn Dallas Market Center offers a shuttle service within an eight-kilometre radius, Belmont Hotel is a historic, boutique property awarding views of the skyline and Trinity River Corridor, and the W Hotel is certain to spoil you with its chic guest rooms and The Living Room – the bar to see and be seen in after the sun sets.
