Tours in Dallas |
The hotel scene in Dallas is undergoing a significant expansion with a number of new hotels opened in 2006 and many more top hotels scheduled to open soon. The city's first W Hotel opened in summer 2006 in Victory Plaza, and Kimpton opened its Hotel Palomar near the Park Cities in autumn 2006. A Ritz Carlton is due in Uptown in late 2007, and the Mandarin Oriental is slated to open in 2009 in Victory Plaza.
The hotels below have been grouped in four different price categories:
$$$$ (over US$250)
$$$ (US$150 to US$250)
$$ (US$100 to US$150)
$ (up to US$100)

In nearly all cases, these are not included in the quoted room rate and will be added to bills at the end of the hotel stay.
