Best Hotels near Wade College

Dallas isn't all about Wild West round-ups and cowboy couture; for those of you looking to add a little cosmopolitan funk to your Texas getaway, consider hanging your hat at the W Dallas - Victory. Located a few blocks north of the historic district – near the Sixth Floor Museum and a block away from the AmericanAirlines Center – this hotel offers luxurious digs without sacrificing convenience. Following a $4 million renovation, the newly restyled guest rooms at this W hotel feature 32-inch LCD TVs, massive bathrooms (with rainfall showers), pillow-top mattresses and cozy linens. The rooftop infinity pool consistently earns high praise: Visitors rave about the spectacular views and the poolside food and beverage service. When you're craving more than snacks, head to Cook Hall for a contemporary take on classic pub food or The Living Room for light fare. Recent guests do warn that the lounge can be crowded and loud at night, and the noise can creep up into guest rooms. And because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.

More of a Dallas institution than a hotel, this 1920s Le Méridien gem just west of downtown is art deco in all the right places. Guest rooms are more toned down, with bright red and gray decor; meanwhile, common spaces like Graze Restaurant and its adjoining bar are more gung-ho about the early 20th-century theme, with red velvet and crystals playing lead roles in the design. Although its inspiration may be old-fashioned, Le Méridien Dallas, The Stoneleigh is up to date on its amenities: 42-inch flat-screen TVs, iPod docking stations and minibars along with a full-service spa can be found on the property. While recent guests appreciated the boutique feel and the recently renovated lobby, some say it's time for the rooms to receive a facelift. On a better note, because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.

Located off of North Stemmons Freeway several miles northwest of downtown Dallas, the Hilton Anatole is far enough from the city to be a peaceful retreat, yet close enough to be convienent for sightseeing. But for most visitors, what sets this hotel apart from its competitors is its size. This massive Hilton property contains more than 1,600 guest rooms, each with enough room for one king-sized or two double Serenity beds, as well as a private bath with double vanities, a flat-screen TV and video game access. What's more, the Hilton Anatole still has space left over for the V Spa, a fitness club and several on-site eateries. The new JadeWaters Resort Pool Complex boasts numerous pools, a lazy river, swim-up bar, two waterslides and more. Recent guests marvel at the hotel's grand stature, and Hilton Honors rewards club members can save a pretty penny by using points to cover the room rate.

Less than 4 miles from central Dallas, the Renaissance Dallas Hotel gets mostly positive reviews from guests. It's easy to see why: Guest rooms are colorful and cozy, boasting amenities for work (like oversized desks) and pleasure (like flat-screen TVs). And outside the rooms, you'll find a glamorous rooftop pool and pool deck, a fitness center and a sauna. Hotel staff can also help you set up a tee time at the Tenison Highlands Golf Course, located roughly 8 miles away. Or, if you've got kids in tow, the Dallas World Aquarium and the Dallas Zoo are both within easy reach. When dinnertime rolls around, recent guests highly recommend dining at Asador, claiming that they've noticed a significant improvement in the cuisine over the past few years (and that the crab cakes are particularly tasty). Plus, members of Marriott Bonvoy can use the points they've earned to cover the cost of their room at this Renaissance property.
