"Any way you look at it — population, economy, cultural footprint — Dallas is a major city. To put it bluntly, it’s long past time it had a hotel scene to match. That’s the last we’ll say of the city’s surfeit of ordinary corporate hotels, because we’re here to focus on something entirely different: Canvas Hotel Dallas. The name is a reference not just to any old fabric, but to a painter’s canvas — this hotel is as devoted to local contemporary art as some hotels are to beige carpet (sorry, we said we’d stop)." - Tablet Hotels
