One-Stop Art Shopping


Just a few weeks ago, a symposium of curators, writers and art cognoscente entertained the question, "Is Dallas the next New York?" Well, maybe. But only if Al Gore's weather forecast holds up and we're all inconvenienced by standing water at the Guggenheim.

Still, big art stuff really is happening here with increasing frequency. Witness the recent gift of more than 900 important contemporary works to the already not-to-be-sneezed-at holdings ...

West Village


Dallicites are spoiled by nice weather more often than not, and this makes the search for patio seating a necessity. The West Village offers more than just patio seating. Tucked in the ever booming uptown area, this outside shopping arena has some of the best people watching entertainment. From the shopping to the restaurants and movies, it’s a great way to spend an afternoon. You can take in the crowds ...

Since the hotel is located within the ...
