The Joule - Dallas

Chic design hotel with seasonal pool near Sixth Floor Museum

Next to Neiman Marcus

Housed in a renovated landmark building from the 1920s, the design-driven Joule is in the middle of downtown Dallas next to the original Neiman Marcus luxury store. A bus stop is next to the hotel, and the Dallas Convention Center is a 10-minute walk south of the lobby doors.

Dealey Plaza and aquarium

A sad day in American history, JFK's assassination is commemorated at The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, located a 12-minute stroll west. On a brighter note, you can see the creatures of the deep frolic at Dallas World Aquarium, located a 10-minute walk northwest.

Coffee to champagne

Amenities include everything from a coffee shop, cocktail bar, and champagne and tea service to a TASCHEN book library, free car service and art collection. There's a 24-hour fitness room and spa, and the seasonal pool juts out beyond the building like an infinity pool.

Quality linens, art books

The 160 lavish guestrooms have turndown service, with down comforters and 300-thread-count Frette linens. You can read one of the in-room TASCHEN art books, use the free WiFi, listen to your music on the iPod® dock, and watch a program on the 42-inch flat-screen TV and Apple TV.
