Fairmont Dallas

Marble runs through every bathroom at Fairmont Dallas, stocked with artisanal amenities and paired with pillow-top mattresses under French-wrapped duvets. The hotel holds 545 rooms and suites across a tower in the Arts District, a short walk from the city's main museums and performance halls. Rooms lean traditional rather than sleek: rich, bold-accented decor, dual-line desk phones, flat-screen televisions and Google Chromecast. Deluxe rooms add a stocked refreshment centre and an armchair for stretching out. Suites scale up from there. You can order coffee in-room from a machine tucked into every category, down to the smallest queen. A rooftop pool sits above the street noise, and a Starbucks operates on-site for mornings that start before the museums open. It is a hotel built for a full day of meetings or gallery-hopping and a full night's sleep after. Accessible rooms include roll-in showers, grab bars and wheelchair clearance under the sink, offered across nearly every category. Connecting rooms and rollaway beds are available on request. The address sits at 1717 N Akard Street, in reach of downtown's core on foot.
