Dallas, Texas
Dallas is one of the fastest-growing cities in America, with exciting evolutions taking place in its dining, arts, and cultural scenes. Just five minutes from downtown, the upscale Hotel Crescent Court houses art from the owner's personal collection and is known for its luxurious spa. A bit farther from downtown in a secluded Dallas neighborhood, Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek offers residential-style accommodations in an Italian Renaissance-style estate.
Where Old Texas Meets New
Everything’s bigger in Texas, and nowhere does that feel more true than Dallas. Here, skyscrapers seem to sprout up out of the flat prairies of northeast Texas. You’ll find traditional steakhouses and live country music venues rubbing shoulders with trendy bistros and modern art galleries. The West End, the city’s historic district, offers visitors a window into the past with beautifully preserved historical buildings, tree-lined streets, and brick sidewalks. Dallas’ thriving Arts District is a vibrant place brimming with galleries, boutiques, theaters, and museums like the Dallas Museum of Art, Nasher Sculpture Center, and Crow Museum of Asian Art.
