Adolphus Hotel

No Dallas hotel is more legendary than this downtown Grande Dame that has been welcoming everyone from royalty to rock stars for over a century. A recent multi-million-dollar facelift has injected some modernity to all 407 guestrooms and public spaces, but there's still a wonderful sense of old-school decorum here, which is fitting given the sheer quantities of marble, rich wood detailing and hand-crafted molding on site. Luxurious rooms and suites feature pillow-top mattresses, free wireless Internet access, 32-inch flat-screen TVs and spa-like bathrooms. Other amenities include a luxury spa, a state-of-the-art fitness facility, several restaurants, and a year-round rooftop pool and bar. Rates start at $269 per night.
