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

Star Service "In spite of flaws typical of large hotels—long walks to various points and lines at the front desk and morning buffet—this is perhaps the best convention hotel in Dallas." Full review
Gayot "A prime destination for conducting business and holding conferences, ... this centrally located destination has been a popular place for corporate gatherings."
Zagat4.0
"Set on 45 "park"-like acres, this "sprawling" convention hotel in Market Center pleases partisans with "excellent facilities"."

"Its location and facilities lend the venue more to business travelers than vacationers. The rooms are spacious, clean, and... decorated in Asian-inspired themes." Full review
Afar Magazine "I prefer independent restaurants, hotels, and stores over chains, but I have to admit that even though the Hilton Anatole in Dallas is a corporate hotel, it is special." Full review
Fodor's "The rooms are standard, but the Anatole has seven bars, a nightclub, and a piano bar to keep you entertained. The public spaces feature a massive collection of fine Asian arts and antiques." Full review
Travel + Leisure "An art lover's paradise. It has comfortable rooms, expansive outdoor spaces, and a collection of Asian art that could rival a museum's. It's also home to a chunk of the Berlin Wall. "
