Why People Love It
- Residential opulence that feels more like a home than a hotel
- The Mansion Bar is a legitimate Dallas institution for live jazz and people-watching
- Impeccable service that includes a complimentary Lexus house car
Quick Take: It's old-money Dallas at its finest, but if you're looking for a cutting-edge party scene or total silence during wedding season, look elsewhere.
Reviewed by @audreytravelnow: I stayed in the Rosewood Suite and was blown away by the 1,175 sq. ft. terrace. Having a butler arrange dinner outside made me feel like royalty. It’s the ultimate splurge for privacy in Dallas.

5 things to know before you go

💡There is a 'secret' wine cellar space that can sometimes be booked for private dinners.
