W Dallas - Victory

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 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 Bar for cocktails. 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.
