Hotel Crescent Court
"How did it strike you on arrival?Located in the heart of Uptown, the location of this luxe hotel makes staying here for business or pleasure a no brainer. Add a 2018 renovation into the mix and it's a done deal. What’s the crowd like?Executives on a mission. Everyone was going somewhere and in a hurry. Should I remind them about the slower pace of life here in the Lone Star State? The good stuff: Tell us about your room.The 2018 renovation has put these rooms and suites at the top of the Dallas hotel room totem pole thanks to the incredible interior design and the abundant natural light via the floor to ceiling windows. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any of that worth a mention?Amenities including Nespresso machines, Terry cloth robes, and custom Molton Brown bath products prove that this hotel knows what today's traveler wants in a luxury hotel experience. Room service and food: Worth it?This hotel really does have a little bit of everything for everyone, regardless of your gastronomic preferences. You can grab a signature hot dish or go the safe route with a sushi roll at Nobu. Beau Nash is located in the Great Hall and caters to lovers of Champagne cocktails (currently raising my hand high). In addition to an impressive drink menu, guests can also order "Texas Tapas" like wings, chips and guac, and charcuterie. (Pro tip: Although not a part of the official Hotel Crescent Court dining options, take the short walk to Ascension Coffee to enjoy a delicious latte and the best avocado toast in Dallas.) Staff: If you could award one a trophy, who gets it, and why?The bartender at Beau Nash that made me my cocktail. It was the perfect mix of Prosecco, muddled strawberries, lemon juice, gin, and St-Germain. Anything other features we should have asked about?Take advantage of fitness classes that are offering at the gym. Think weighted yoga and spin. Bottom line: worth it?This hotel has the ability to transport you to a relaxing oasis miles from the hustle and bustle of busy Dallas despite it being in the middle of Uptown. The renovation is quite lovely and the spa and pool make this property hard to beat." - Diana Oates
