Concierge "This hip spot... is a much-needed break from the garish glitz of the hotels uptown and the stuffiness of those downtown."
Travel + Leisure "Everything from the breathtaking views to the heated, outdoor pool to the delicious, complimentary Oak Cliff coffee in guest rooms sets the Belmont apart." Full review
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

"Just two miles west of downtown, this stylish 1940s bungalow hotel is a fabulously low-key antidote to Dallas' flashier digs." Full review

Frommer's "An unexpected delight in the Park Cities area, right next to the SMU campus, this terrifically stylish, discreet boutique hotel opened in the spring of 2006." Full review
BlackBook "Rooms exude modern charm while sticking to mid-century motif. Dark chocolates and cremes oppose emphasis on illumination, in a good way."
Zagat "Across from SMU in University Park, this branch of the Kimpton boutique hotel chain offers modern, wired quarters with flat-screen TVs and iHome docking stations (and yoga mats!)."
Travel + Leisure "If proximity to Southern Methodist University is your top priority, this Kimpton Hotel is your best bet." Full review
Jetsetter "Boutique mash-up of color, whimsy and modernism with New American fare and wine happy hours." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Located in the heart of the Park Cities, this hotel is well known for its location directly across the street from Southern Methodist University." Full review

Michelin Guide "A polished lobby with floor-to-ceiling windows gives way to a bustling roster of public spaces...Texas-sized rooms fulfill needs both classic and contemporary in a luxe grayscale ambience" Full review
