"Hotel ZaZa Dallas is a One Key hotel in Dallas, Texas, known for its vibrant and eclectic style, providing a unique and upscale lodging experience." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Bring on the bachelorette party or girls’ weekend. The guests are generally a posh party set, and the rowdy pool scene, and over-the-top interiors mean this hotel is not for those who are looking for a quiet weekend to read and relax. That said, the Hotel Zaza staff take a lot of time and effort to make sure that all who stay here leave feeling like they had a blast. (If you want to go all out, book one to the seven themed suites or a bungalow, perfect for large groups.)" - Diana Oates
"How did it strike you on arrival?The dimly lit check-in here helps to foreshadow the sexy ambiance of the hotel. This Uptown hotel—thanks to its hopping bar and restaurant—has long been the premiere party destination for Dallas young professionals. Nice. What’s the crowd like?Hotel guests are mixed in with posh partiers looking for a strong cocktail and a good time. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.We booked one of the themed completely over-the-top suites—one of seven at the hotel—dubbed "Red Shoes." Kitted out with red and zebra print accents, the suite is covered in high-fashion illustrations of, you guessed it, shoes. Beyond the decor, this was a great room for entertaining during our girls weekend, thanks to the formal dining area and entertaining parlor that fits up to ten. The large, furnished terrace was another plus. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any of that worth a mention?This suite had a kitchenette that was stocked with flatware, glassware, and tableware, which made happy hour and late night take-out so much more convenient. We also really enjoyed the blackout drapes. What do they have for food and drink?The hotel's restaurant Dragonfly checks all the boxes for a modern American kitchen serving hip food and creative cocktails. (You can stop by for breakfast, lunch and dinner.) By far the most popular drinking destination at this hotel, however, is the bustling pool bar. Staff: If you could award one a trophy, who gets it, and why?The winner for me was the patient ZaSpa coordinator who helped me book treatments for my group of eight girls. Any other tips?This hotel is not for those who are looking for a quiet weekend to read and reflect poolside. In fact, this is probably the biggest party pool in town. Bring on the bachelorette or girls weekend. It is more calm during the week but still a hotel I would say is best suited for those who like to let loose and have a little fun while visiting Dallas. What's the bottom line?A lot of time and effort has been taken by the Hotel Zaza staff to make sure that all who enter the hotel leave feeling like they had a blast." - Diana Oates
"While the cute little pool at Hotel ZaZa is only available to guests, the hotel is offering some poolside packages with spa treatments, cabanas, fresh fruit, champagne, and food and beverage credits. It’s all on the higher end, but for those looking for a real “treat yo’self” moment, this is the move." - Courtney E. Smith
"A trailblazer of the boutique hotel scene, Hotel ZaZa has become a Texas-grown mini-chain over the last decade, with two properties inHoustonand one in Austin. But this Uptown outpost remains a true original. The Mediterranean-inspired main building houses the bulk of the 168 accommodations, which include well-sized rooms with generous seating areas, plush king beds and, in some, private balconies. The real ZaZa flair, however, is reflected in the higher categories: 19 Concept Suites are done up in styles like“Bohemia,” “West Indies,” “Opium,” and “Shag-a-Delic;” upgrade further to a super-sized Magnificent Seven Suite (in themes like “Leonardo,” “Crouching Tiger,” and “Rock Star”), or one of the 12 one- and two-bedroom Bungalows, which are set in a 1930s-era former home away from the main hotel and feature individual touches like a vintage 1960s VW Bug tailgate, a 1940s TV fitted into a wooden cabinet, and furniture and artwork handpicked from around Texas. Guests of all rooms have access to free champagne and snacks in the lobby, the ZaSpa wellness retreat and gym, the lively Dragonfly restaurant, and the cabana-ringed pool, which turns into a party scene with DJs spinning after 10 p.m. Another ZaZa signature is the “Magic Carpet Ride,” the hotel’s version of a complimentary house car, which ferries you within five miles of the property in a decommissioned highway patrol car or a Cadillac hearse."
