Rosewood Mansion at Turtle Creek, Dallas
More photosSet back in Dallas’s upscale Uptown neighborhood, the Rosewood Mansion at Turtle Creek is a legendary luxury hotel that serves as the flagship property where the global Rosewood brand first began. Originally built in 1925 as a private, Italian Renaissance-style estate for cotton magnate Sheppard King, the mansion was saved from demolition in 1979 and officially opened its doors as a boutique hotel and restaurant in 1981.
The property is packed with fascinating architectural treasures that the King family collected during frequent travels across Europe. Guests walking through the historic estate will spot grand entry doors salvaged from a 19th-century Spanish cathedral, 16th-century marble columns from an Italian palace near Rome, and an antique German fireplace. Over the years, these gorgeous spaces have hosted iconic figures ranging from President Franklin D. Roosevelt to Tennessee Williams.
While Dallas architecture firm Three and acclaimed interior designer Thomas Pheasant completely refreshed the lobby and its 142 guest rooms to offer modern, residential comfort, they made sure to preserve the historic spirit. For instance, they collaborated with the local Casci Ornamental Plaster company—whose founder worked on the original 1925 library ceiling—to hand-craft a stunning, intricate plaster dome in the entry rotunda.
The hotel’s premier location along the winding banks of Turtle Creek leaves you close to the city’s best cultural stops. It is a quick drive to the thriving Dallas Arts District, where you can explore the Dallas Museum of Art and the Nasher Sculpture Center, or enjoy a sunny stroll along Klyde Warren Park.
Expert reviews
“Once the swank home of a cotton magnate (in the 1920s and 1930s), today this is where the celebrities, politicos, and business tycoons tend to stay. You’ll understand why. Guestrooms are huge, with an upgraded country club décor.”

Other Dallas hotels
Hotel The Adolphus, Dallas
Stepping into The Adolphus Autograph Collection feels like walking right through a chapter of Texas oil and beer history. Opened in 1912, this downtown Dallas icon was built by none other than Adolphus Busch, the legendary co-founder of Anheuser-Busch. He spared no expense, spending nearly $2 million to create a grand, 22-story Beaux-Arts masterpiece designed by the St. Louis architectural firm Barnett, Haynes, and Barnett, which briefly reigned as the tallest building in the entire state.
Frommers + 2 more“The equivalent of the Plaza in New York City or the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City, the Adolphus is the grande dame of Dallas hotels. Built in 1912 by beer magnate Adolphus Busch, it’s a landmarked Beaux Arts storehouse of treasures.”

The Ritz-Carlton Las Colinas, Dallas
Spread across 400 acres of rolling hills in Irving, Texas, The Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas is a massive luxury sanctuary with a deep local legacy. Longtime Dallas locals know it best as the former Four Seasons resort, which initially opened in 1986. Following a massive $65 million transformation, the property officially debuted its reimagined, ultra-premium Ritz-Carlton identity, blending high-end sophistication with classic Texas hospitality.
Fodors“Looking like a Frank Lloyd Wright–designed country club, this hotel is quite possibly the city’s best. Rooms have balconies that overlook the Tournament Players Course, site of the Professional Golfers’ Association’s EDS Byron Nelson Championship. Luxurious resort-style rooms take on warm earth tones.”
Hotel Indigo, Dallas
Located in the heart of downtown's Main Street District, Hotel Indigo Dallas Downtown is a historic gem packed with Texas history. Built in 1925, this landmark 14-story high-rise is incredibly famous for being the very first hotel legendary developer Conrad Hilton built completely from the ground up. Hilton intentionally chose the highest geographic point in downtown Dallas for the project, setting a grand stage for his future hospitality empire.
Lonely Planet + 1 more“After a hot day of sightseeing, this downtown hotel offers good respite. Part of Hilton, it offers rooms with sprightly decor, hardwood floors and extras such as gourmet coffee makers. The 170 rooms are in a restored vintage building.”
The Joule Hotel, Dallas
The Joule Hotel in downtown Dallas is an architectural standout that breathes high-energy life into a restored 1920s neo-Gothic skyscraper. Originally the Dallas National Bank, this historic landmark is one of only two remaining Gothic high-rises in the entire city. It was creatively reimagined by world-renowned hospitality designer Adam D. Tihany, who masterfully blended old-world structural drama with punchy, contemporary luxury.
Lonely Planet + 2 more“A moving cog-and-wheel sculpture in the stylish lobby hints at the building’s Industrial Revolution–era beginnings. Urbane elegance continues throughout. Don’t miss the breathtaking, cantilevered rooftop pool area.”
