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."
