Fairmont Dallas Fairmont Dallas

An icon in the city it calls home, Fairmont Dallas extends a Texas-sized welcome to the Lone Star State.

For over forty years, Fairmont Dallas has played host to celebrity performers and well-heeled travelers with equal aplomb. The hotel's "Venetian Room" has seen performances from the likes of Ike & Tina Turner, Jerry Lewis, and Sonny & Cher, while the dazzling gala opening in 1969 featured crooner Robert Goulet serenading guests from a coach drawn by elephants.

Nowadays, unparalleled hospitality awaits across the 545 elegant guest rooms and suites. Space abounds in each, with high ceilings, ample storage space and sweeping views of Dallas proving the norm. Flat screen TVs, iPhone docks and Wi-Fi access (for a fee) keep guests connected to the world outside.

One of the hotel's major features is a rooftop Junior Olympic sized pool, which is surrounded by plentiful loungers and space to enjoy a bite to eat. A fully-equipped fitness center is located a little closer to earth, boasting TechnoGym equipment, free weights and a stretching area.

The Fairmont Dallas also boasts a stellar array of dining options, including gourmet cuisine at The Pyramid - a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence holder - a full-service Starbucks, and 24-hour in-room dining.
