If you want to get a real feel for Fairmont Dallas, just walk into the elegant lobby, where you’re likely to be greeted by Bondi, the hotel’s Chief Happiness Officer. Paid in treats and lots of love, the eight month old rescue dog recently joined the staff and is already doing what Fairmont is best known for: turning moments into memories.

It's not uncommon to see guests in business suits or formalwear bending down to pet Bondi and walking away with a smile on their face and their whole body relaxed. Fairmont knows that travel can be exhausting and stressful and bringing Bondi onboard is just another way they’re trying to make guests feel at home.

Located downtown in a prime spot in the city’s thriving Arts District, the luxurious Fairmont Dallas makes an ideal home base for visiting world class museums and entertainment venues. It’s especially convenient if you’re attending a concert or sporting event at American Airlines Center and don’t want to wait forever for an Uber afterwards since it’s just a 15 minute walk back to the hotel. History buffs will appreciate that it’s also a short walk to the Sixth Floor Museum at historic Dealey Plaza — the site of John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1964 — which chronicles the President’s life, death and legacy.

There are 545 rooms at Fairmont Dallas and they’re spacious and comfortable, with a sophisticated and restful aesthetic. Suites give you a homey living room and walk-in closet, as well, and can even be connected to another guestroom to create a two bedroom suite.

The hotel also offers accessible rooms and assistive devices.

Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, the Pyramid Restaurant, located in the lobby, is a great choice for any meal. It’s a lovely setting, whether you’re dining solo, as a couple or with friends, and there are plenty of vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options.

If you come when the weather is warm, you can enjoy lunch on the Pool Terrace. Open seasonally, the outdoor Junior Olympic-sized pool provides a refreshing break from the summer heat. Apres swim, you can treat yourself to a specialty cocktail poolside.

Whenever you stay in a Fairmont property, consider upgrading to Fairmont Gold. It offers so many extras from upgraded bathroom amenities to complimentary wifi to nightly turndown surface but the greatest perk is the Fairmont Gold Lounge, which is only available to Gold guests.

The Gold Lounge is almost like having your own home away from home. At Fairmont Dallas, there’s a big living room area with couches, cushy chairs and a big screen TV, a dining area where you could easily spend the day working at a table with the light flowing in from the picture windows and drinks available for the taking in the kitchen.
