Hotel ZaZa, Dallas
Located in the fashionable Uptown neighborhood of Dallas, Hotel ZaZa is a striking boutique property that masterfully blends Mediterranean elegance with high-end theatrical flair. Conceived by Texas developer Charlie Givens and shaped by the interior design firm Duncan Miller Ullmann, the property was envisioned to feel like the residence of an eccentric, well-traveled friend who has collected rare artwork and oddities from all over the globe.
The hotel’s absolute claim to fame is its theatrical collection of 17 “Concept Suites” and the “Magnificent Seven” ultra-luxury spaces. Instead of standard hotel layouts, guests can check into themed rooms like the “Crouching Tiger” Asian-inspired suite, a retro “Rock Star” pad, or the “Shag-a-delic” room. For an entirely different atmosphere, the property also features a cluster of historic, separately housed bungalow suites that offer a hidden, residential retreat right on the grounds.
At the center of the social scene is Dragonfly, the hotel’s award-winning signature restaurant and lounge. Known for its dramatic, sensory-heavy interiors and innovative cuisine, Dragonfly opens directly onto “Poolside at ZaZa.” This vibrant outdoor oasis features a heated pool surrounded by private cabanas, serving as a prominent spot for local celebrity-watching and late-night socializing under the Texas sky.
For a change of pace, guests can escape to the second floor to visit ZaSpa, a highly praised wellness sanctuary that offers signature therapeutic treatments and an all-day luxury retreat from the city heat. If you feel like venturing past the lobby, the hotel even offers a quirky “Magic Carpet Ride” shuttle service to chauffeuer guests around the immediate neighborhood in classic ZaZa style.
The central location places you minutes away from the city’s finest attractions. You can take a leisurely walk to Klyde Warren Park, a beautiful 5.2-acre urban green space built directly over a recessed highway, or stroll down the nearby 3.5-mile Katy Trail. The hotel is also incredibly close to the world-renowned Dallas Arts District, giving you seamless access to the Dallas Museum of Art, the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, and the striking Winspear Opera House.
Expert reviews
“Some hotels fill common areas with high-priced art in an attempt to impress well-heeled clientele. But few hoteliers have the vision to pick pieces that stop you dead in your tracks. That’s one of the things that makes Zsa Zsa as glamorous as the Gabor I like to imagine this hotel is named for.”

Fantastic hotel with a great pool to cool off from the heat of Dallas
The swimming pool was fantastic and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. There are lots of little extras the hotel provides on top which were a great addition.
I can't think of anything negative to say.

Everyone was friendly—the shuttle was a nice extra.
Location, staff, and room were excellent. Loved it!
Would have liked a coffee maker in the room—but not a deal breaker.

Quick trip to Dallas!
Interesting and a bit quirky but nice hotel in a chic area. We were able to walk to nearby restaurants.
They only offer valet parking.

Cool place, great location
Great location walking distance to the work I was doing and if my appointment was further away I could take the free longhornmobile. Plus we love the decor, and also the pool. Nice teatime cookies and pineapple water in samovars

You feel welcomed and appreciated at the Zaza.
Luxurious and inviting. All of the staff were amazing and curtious.
Second floor needs a restroom /dressing area for the fitness center. The spa ladies would not let me change into my workout gear in their spa restroom across from the fitness center.

Girls weekend getaway!
Loved the boutique feel and location. Carolina at the front desk was excellent. Valet/shuttle/bellman/greeters were fantastic. Pool staff were also fantastic and attentive. Aliyah at front desk was very personable and helpful.
Some of the furniture and decor should be updated. Looks dated. Elevators and some halls were very dark?! Maybe a light was out?
Pool drinks were expensive for size.

Apart from the room issues described above, an excellent stay at a good hotel.
Apart from the lady on reception, who was curt and unengaging, the staff were all exceptionally friendly. (The pool staff and cleaning staff were all great, but the valet guys, who you saw every time you came into and out of the hotel, in particular were superb. As well as being super friendly, they were also full of helpful tips on where to go in Dallas, good local eateries and so on).
The location is excellent. In a nice, safe part of the city, but easily reachable to the downtown area and all the things to see in Dallas.
The pool area was excellent. We visited another pool in another hotel in they city, having read some recommendations somewhere (The Statler) and the Za za was way better.
The room was tired and smelt a bit musty. The shower leaked.

A nice hotel with a good location
The location was perfect. It was possible to walk to downtown or take a trolley bus which doesn't cost anything. Nice restaurants nearby. The room was large and beautifully furnished.
It was a pity that the pool area was closed. It should have been nice to relax and take a nice bath after having walked around the city. The hotel takes a deposit of $ 100 per night and that's too much.

Nothing. Would stay here again!

I would recommend this beautiful hotel to anyone traveling to Dallas.
Magical place. We loved the room, decor, and the staff. Everyone we met were very welcoming and friendly. It’s a very beautiful hotel in a great location.
The only negative I can think of is that they don’t allow outside food. We wanted to order a pizza and stay in one night but we refrained.

Great location with very friendly and accommodating staff!!
Shuttle to and from the American Airlines center was a great perk. Complimentary champagne and chocolate covered strawberries for our 35th anniversary was a nice treat. (Turned champagne into sodas and lemonade because neither of us drink)
Slightly sweet/spiced odor in the hallways.

Beautiful hotel. Small pool.
The staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was large and clean.
We loved the pool area but there was never enough seating to enjoy it. People were literally rushing in front of us to reserve beds and then not use them. Quite frustrating.
30 July 2023
It was okay.
The hotel is beautiful. I have stopped many times for drinks and appetizers. This was my first time to stay at the hotel. Having the coffee stations is a good idea, but why can't you have regular cream (not half/half) or milk. Soy and oat milks?? It was nice to have slippers and a robe. And they turned down my bed. The valet guys were courteous and prompt to retrieve your car. I was disappointed because on the room service menu it doesn't state there is a $5 delivery fee nor an automatic 3% room charge. Why didn't they have music Friday night to party at the pool? It was so dead at night over the weekend. What is the Metropolitan Club?
The loud rock music at the pool at 11 am. They should have played that loud music Friday night by the pool. I left the pool, didn't care for loud rock music, Smooth jazz my style. NO music over the weekend at night. I don't like soy or oat milk. Need to get rid of room service charges. BTW I did tip the delivery man $6 cash. Open the pool earlier. How about offering a cool drink and a cold towel at check in since it's so hot. I expected more from ZAZA.

One of the best hotels I’ve stayed in. Felt like a mini vacation

The Zaza is always a wonderful place to stay
We were attending a burial at the Greenwood Cemetery which was 3 blocks away so it was very convenient. Also we had flowers for the burial and because of the heat, we were unable to store then overnight in our car... the hotel gladly stored them in an air conditioned room.
Nothing to not like. We had 2 teenagers with us and so spent time in the pool which had floating flamingos! and pink beach balls. We were the only ones in the pool, so the kids had a wonderful time.
