The Bar/Lounge at The Adolphus, Autograph Collection

"The French Room, serving classic French cuisine, is one of Dallas's finest restaurants; it is about as baroque a dining room as you'll find in town"

"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"

" Visitors are wowed by the 422 guestrooms, which are among the city’s largest and feature Queen Anne-style furniture accented by baroque floral prints"

"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"

"The French Room restaurant is undergoing renovations, but all-day dining is available at City Hall and Rodeo Bar"

""Steeped in history", this "posh" circa-1912 Financial District "landmark" built (and named for) a beer baron is "first class all the way" thanks to "classically elegant" quarters, a highly rated restaurant and "beautiful" public spaces; despite some complaints that service "could use some dusting off", most maintain staffers are "top-notch", making this an all-around "luxurious" package -- just "be ready to pay for it"

"Beer baron Adolphus Busch created this Beaux-Arts building in Downtown Dallas in 1912, sparing nothing in the way of ornamentation"

"An adjoining lounge has clubby 1950s-style decor with leather seating clustered around a fireplace"

"Built by beer baron Adolphus Busch in 1912, Dallas’s Adolphus Hotel remains a favorite among distinguished visitors"
