Expert reviews

Frommers review:

“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.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Dallas.

Lonely Planet review:

“The 422-room Adolphus takes us back to the days when gentlemen wore ties and hotels were truly grand, not bastions of ascetic minimalism. Just exploring the 22 floors of this 1912 labyrinth, now part of the Marriott empire, is an adventure. Note that room sizes vary widely.”

Forbes review:

“Situated on the site of the town’s original City Hall, The Adolphus has been a part of the fabric of Dallas life since its opulent doors first opened in 1912. Built by beer magnate Adolphus Busch of Anheuser-Busch fame, the beaux-arts-style building was modeled after a German castle and stands 22 stories over Commerce Street.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

With over 400 rooms, The Adolphus is a hub for action. Usually, boutique hotels are much smaller and more inclusive to your needs. This one flips the script and gives you upscale amenities that will take your stay to the next level. With smaller boutiques, you usually don’t have access to a great restaurant, bar, or some of the other perks. At the Adolphus, all of those come in the best form possible.

Along with a great restaurant, a unique factor is the spa and beauty salon on premises. After a busy day of exploring Dallas, take to the spa and relax. At other boutique hotels, usually of smaller size, you can’t have access to these features without leaving the site.

If you have a little extra room in your budget, splurge for the executive king suite and really take your stay up a notch. If you want to spend more time in the city and not so much in the actual hotel, save some money and get a basic room. These will surely get the job done. No matter what you decide to go with, The Adolphus is a fantastic place to reside in Dallas.

Wonderful!

Everything exceeded my expectations. The hotel is lovely, especially the French Room where we had tea. Our room was large and comfortable but it was the service that was outstanding. Everyone we came in contact with had such a great attitude. It made our stay very special.

Getting to our room required two elevators which was a little confusing.

Hotel great (not valet)

Loved the room and front desk

I didn't like that Valet lost our car. My husband had to find it. When he did, he came and got me. Then we all went inside the parking garage. I slipped in the parking garage and broke my knee cap. I have to wear a brace for 8 weeks.

Exceptional

This hotel is absolutely gorgeous! Definitely something I wouldn’t expect to see in the middle of Dallas. The feel of the hotel makes you feel far away from home and enjoying a nice relaxing trip.

Very nice

The location was good and lunch at the pool was fabulous!

Valet for car pick up was very congested, had to walk out in the rain, down the street to get our car.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE

They gave away our booking after reassure of us that a midnight check in following a concert in Dallas was absolutely fine. Even told us to “enjoy the concert and we will see you when you get here”. Arrived and was informed no rooms were available. Even worse, there was another couple that they did the same thing to. A young bride and groom arriving from their wedding and excited to spend their honeymoon night at The Adolphus that they had booked back in January!! As a wedding venue owner, this one really hit me HARD! Horrible customer service, horrible business ethics and horrible experience!!

Overall it was great and I would stay there every time i'm in Dallas.

The whole hotel is amazing! Historic, "haunted", beautiful, perfect!

Pillows weren't good. There were so many homless people out the area. It's a great, clean, historic area but the homeless/druggies were all around.

Beautiful hotel, great front desk, loud guest and unfortunate timing on the housekeeper…

Beautiful hotel!

I was Staying overnight dealing with a two day delay to get home back to Atlanta. I checked in around 2 AM and checked out around 8 AM Unfortunately, the guest above me was making a tremendous amount of noise all night long as well as I was woken up by housekeeping very early in the morning, thinking the room was unoccupied.

Pleasant

The lobby

The hotel is great but what I did not like is that when I first came, they took a deposit of $3900 and a bit more then they took another deposit of 4900 something dollars and they said it was by mistake. We will return the money back. They did return the money back but what I did not like when I first booked it through booking and I have an email confirmation that including taxes it was $3700 then they tell me the first amount with the deposit, which was 3900 is a mistake it should have been 4900 and they changed it in booking I said OK I didn’t agree but I was going to complain when I come back and booking all of a sudden they return the amount back the 4900 then they take it back again they’re missing up my financials with the difference of exchange rates I keep losing

Completely happy with our stay in every way.

Classic ambiance with wonderfully attentive staff.

Humm- really a small matter but the location was difficult to enter regarding parking and registration.

Awful.

Location was great.

Had to move rooms for the rattly fan in the AC. Same rattle in the new room. The window was not sealed and had to lean a heavy lamp in it to keep it closed. The towels were half the size required to wrap around a human and when held up to the light they were threadbare and holy. I expected a whole lot more from a supposed luxury hotel. We should have stayed at the airport with the free accommodation offered by the airline. Very unimpressive.

One of the most beautiful and interesting hotel I have stayed in...

We needed one night to get some rest to continue our travel, and the the hotel was beautiful. The main escalators were out so we had to carry the baggage up the main stairs but not a big deal, The escalators are in the process of being repaired. The hotel was absolutely beautiful. The wood work was fascinating and unique, the books lining each room was a pleasant surprise and every area in the hotel lobby had a different theme. The Valet service was awesome, I left my cell phone in the care, and one of the fellows went up and retrieved it for me.

The pool was so crowded we did not get the opportunity to swim, it was very beautiful and the day was hot, so I am not surprised

worst experience … no lift from lobby working was told to carry luggage.

Worst customer service paid for breakfast included but every time went to breakfast was told 45 minutes wait .. then on the last day went again was told 30 minutes wait even though restaurant was empty upon asking was told we don’t have anyone to clean tables so there is 30 minute wait .

It was fun for a day but I would not recommend it to anyone

Extra fees such as Valley parking and Amenities which we never use were added to our bill Making the cost of the hotel somewhat ridiculous

Paying to park

Wouldn’t go back

The location was nice

The price that you pay for what you get is ridiculous, the bathroom was dirty the sheets were stained and dirty. The counter top in the bathroom had dirt and stuff on it. The mirror in the bathroom was streaked with fingerprints. It was just grimy.

Overall the location and restaurants were the best part of this property. Everything else was sadly lacking and did not

The restaurants and lobby areas were beautiful, and the food was good.

It was overpriced for the quality of the room, the bathroom wasn’t fully clean, the floor was slick and coated in residue from some (hopefully) cleaning product in the bathroom and entry. The beds were hard, the pillows lumpy, and the tv didn’t work correctly.

Great wedding venue The food was fantastic and the ceremony very pretty. Wedding suite was huge!

The wedding venue my niece selected was beautiful. The banquet staff was awesome and attentive.

The elevator waits due to booking too closely with other events. Not getting my corner suite which wasn't ready at check-in.
