Landmark Hotel in the Heart of Dallas
In 1912, Dallas city officials enlisted brewing tycoon Adolphus Busch to fund an elegant, upscale hotel in the heart of their growing city. The tallest building in the city at the time, The Adolphus now sits nestled amid skyscrapers, a Beaux-Arts landmark that's played host to celebrities from Babe Ruth to Queen Elizabeth II over the years. Through the façade's grand front entrance, the lobby's dark wood paneling and numerous, stylishly eclectic seating areas often play host to guests who sit reading or chatting, taking in the quiet jazz and natural light from the entrance's arched skylight.
A stroll under twinkling chandeliers takes visitors to three restaurants, nestled snugly in distinct corners of The Adolphus's lobby. The AAA Five Diamond–rated French Room, located at the peak of its own private staircase, dishes up plates of haute French cuisine under a lofty ceiling coated with swirly frescoes and Ionic pillars as elaborate as a musical adaptation of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. A separate bar area is open until 1:30 a.m. on weekends, allowing for quiet, late-night cocktails. The Bistro, a casual dining area adorned with a quirky collection of teapots, serves traditional American breakfast and lunch fare, and The Rodeo Bar & Grill boasts a menu of hearty barbecue and burgers.
Between bites of seared branzini or crab-meat benedict, guests can rest on the deluxe room's king-, queen-, or two double-size beds fashioned from cushy pillow-top mattresses and fluffy comforters. Vintage-looking lamps are positioned next to beds and on a glass-top desk, where striped chairs sit ready to hold guests or guests' own chairs. In the marble-tiled bathrooms, a standard shower and tub combination and a large mirror illuminated by double-globe lanterns allow for pre-exploration primping.
Downtown Dallas: Texan History in a Modern Setting
The Adolphus is sandwiched between the historic West End District and the more modern Main Street and Deep Ellum areas, all accessible by foot or a brief drive. Within walking distance lies the West End District, the site of John F. Kennedy's assassination and its subsequent museums and monuments. On the district's red-orange brick sidewalks, visitors saunter past former warehouses that have now been transformed into shops and restaurants. Upscale steakhouses and national chains neighbor local watering holes such as the West End Pub, which exudes small-town friendliness. The district is easily navigable by foot, but pedestrians should keep an eye out for segway tours and horse-drawn carriages criss-crossing the area.
Full-wall murals add a colorful touch to Deep Ellum, an eclectic neighborhood rife with boutiques, art and antique shops, and cafés, about a 5- to 10-minute drive from The Adolphus. The area's distinctive personality is on full display at the AllGood Cafe, an eatery boasting locally sourced ingredients, many of which come from the nearby Dallas Farmers' Market. The diner's red-painted and brick walls are almost entirely covered in paintings, autographs, and photos, and rainbow-hued paper cranes hang from the ceiling in frozen flight. After noshing on South Austin Migas or a Mega-Egg sandwich, visitors can mosey over to Mokah Coffee Bar for a caffeinated glimpse of its adjoining art gallery and stage.
Within an approximately three-block radius of The Adolphus, a diverse roster of bars stands at the ready to quench thirsts. City Tavern's personable bartenders pour craft brews on tap while local musicians fill the space with live music. An extensive lineup of tequilas mix with 100% agave nectar to create Sol Irlandés's many margaritas. The Tex-Mex restaurant's covered patio opens up to Stone Street Gardens, a petite row of cafés hiding under the shade of trees and handing plants. Travelers looking to branch out of the Main Street area can visit the arts district, which includes the Nasher Sculpture Center, whose rotating exhibits currently include abstract representations of the human body and an inhabitable room full of nothing but large orange balloons.
