"The hotel bar is old and cozy, so if you can stomach the forced formality of the place as a whole, it's a well-located downtown choice."

Rough Guide
"Stunning historic downtown hotel, decorated with antiques. Said to be the most beautiful building west of Venice, Italy, when it was built in 1912, it’s a glamorous place to stay."
Michelin Guide
"This 100-year-old creation of unabashed Baroque flamboyance and period furniture, with lacquered chinoiserie, tapestries, and chandeliers, was built by a Dallas beer baron."
Gayot

"This hip spot... is a much-needed break from the garish glitz of the hotels uptown and the stuffiness of those downtown."
Travel + Leisure

Rough Guide
"Renovated 1940s motel located a short drive from downtown. Feels more like LA than Dallas, with a hip, casual bar and a pool with stunning city views."
Gayot
"For a Dallas/Fort Worth stay that shatters the monotonous chain-hotel mold, the Belmont Hotel is a refreshing property full of vintage character that's been given a modern spin."
BlackBook
"BarBelmont is scattered with hipsters of the Texan variety, and Cliff Café brings it with nouveau diner cuisine, think sweet potato pecan pancakes."
Afar Magazine
"This summer series in Dallas has it all. Phenomenal Texas musicians, a skyline and sunset to look forward to and comfortable, relaxed seating to soak up some live music magic." Full review
Fodor's
"Musicians, artists, and European travelers frequent the Belmont, a recently restored (2005) motel that first opened in 1946." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler
"If kicking back in a relaxed atmosphere is your cup of kombucha, you'll be smitten with this no frills historic hotel that feels like a little bit of Austin smack dab in the middle of Oak Cliff." Full review
