This luxury boutique hotel is located in the trendy Uptown district, where many young Dallas professionals live and hang out. The developers gave the hotel a unique look to help attract the stylish crowd—the exterior says French chateau; the interior says hip, hip, hip with an Asian-inspired decor. You don’t have to venture outside for your evening entertainment—first, sip cocktails in the Dragonfly bar, a see-and-be-seen kind of place, and then dine at Dragonfly (see) to indulge in a savory menu of international cuisine and comfort food. For relaxation and rejuvenation, guests head to the ZaSpa, with its many treatments and signature scents. Come bedtime, get comfy in your spacious guest room with an oversized television or in one of the individually decorated suites.
