"A $36 million renovation restored this historic celebrity hideaway to its Art Deco splendor, and a stay provides a respite from Dallas’s typical obsession with the new and brassy. The management team behind the transformation of the Mansion on Turtle Creek wisely decided to keep the residential floor plan for the 176 guest rooms and just in time for the property to celebrate its centennial in 2023. The accommodations feel grand in scale, are decorated in a palette of teal with cinnamon, and have high ceilings, commissioned Texas artwork, and sizable tubs. In the 1930s, Dorothy Draper designed the original owner’s twelfth-floor Penthouse residence, which was transformed by the current head of her eponymous firm into a dramatic Presidential Suite; the assemblage of rooms retains many of the original details, including the secret passageways and balconies." - Diana Oates
