Canvas Hotel Dallas

Bigger and better is the name of the game in Dallas – and the NYLO Dallas South Side is no exception. Take the SODA Bar, for instance: The trendy rooftop bar boasts sweeping downtown views coupled with creative cocktails. The cool, cosmopolitan vibes extend to the property's spacious 76 guest rooms and suites, which feature 10-foot high ceilings, 42-inch flat-screen TVs and expansive windows that allow for plenty of natural light. Previous guests are quick to praise the hotel's funky decor and down-home touches, but they say the main selling point here is the genuine hospitality. Still, some do caution that the thin walls hardly muffled the noise spilling over from the rooftop. For a little more quiet, many suggest booking a room on the second or third floor away from the elevators. When you're not cozying up in your room, leisurely sipping cocktails or swimming in the outdoor rooftop pool, head to the Terrace Bistro for classics with seasonally inspired ingredients, like shrimp nachos and steak frites, before exploring downtown Dallas. Thanks to NYLO's prime perch in the hip South Lamar/Cedars neighborhood, the hotel is not too far from the Dallas Arts District and the Cotton Bowl. What's more, the hotel offers a complimentary shuttle for guests looking to venture within a 3-mile radius of the property, making it an ideal choice for tourists and business travelers alike.
