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

Rough Guide "This downtown 330-room hotel (housed in the former headquarters of Mobil Oil’s predecessor) is popular with business travellers."
Star Service "The Magnolia stands in marked contrast to the charming, old-fashioned Adolphus next door; it is cool, modern and offbeat, but with broad appeal." Full review

Service, however, is sluggish at times, and many staff members display indifferent attitudes for even the simplest requests.
Gayot "A winged Pegasus stands like a beacon atop the historic Magnolia Building, which is located only one block away from shopping paradise."
DK Eyewitness "Thoroughly modern, this trendy hotel is housed in the historic 1920s Petroleum building downtown."
BlackBook "Once the tallest building in the Lone Star State, the Magnolia's 29 stories now stand testament to the power of rebranding."
