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

Views of the mall's duct-laden rooftop should be avoided.
