The hype
Families love the pool and art, business travelers love the gym, but everyone hates the walk to their room.
Hilton Anatole
$159-280/ nacht
Boek dit als You want a Texas-sized resort experience with a lazy river and museum-grade art without leaving the Dallas city limits.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- JadeWaters pool complex (lazy river + swim-up bar)
- The largest art collection in any US hotel (Berlin Wall, propellers, Buddhas)
- Renovated Tower rooms with skyline views
Snel Overzicht: It’s a massive, corporate city-within-a-city that feels like a theme park for convention-goers and families, but a maze for everyone else.
Beoordeeld door @Askfoodb: I needed a break without the flight, and Hilton Anatole delivered. Jade Waters is a total oasis—I spent all day floating with a drink in hand. The poolside service is top-tier, and the vibe is just pure relaxation. Highly recommend booking a cabana!

Reality check
The 'resort fee' feels mandatory for amenities you might not use, and the Atrium rooms feel dated compared to the Tower.
- You have kids who need a lazy river to survive the Texas heat
- You are attending a conference on-site and want a gym that rivals Equinox
- You appreciate art and want to see a piece of the Berlin Wall with your morning coffee
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some reports of missed dusting in corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Renovated Tower bathrooms are sparkling; older Atrium bathrooms have reports of 'shaking' pipes and worn grout.
- Maintenance: Tower is pristine. Atrium shows age with occasional HVAC rattles and peeling wallpaper.
- Linens & towels: Standard Hilton crisp white linens; towels are plentiful but can be a bit scratchy.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of their signature 'White Tea' scent; Atrium rooms can smell slightly musty/humid.

5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
