Fortune, flamboyance, and fame came together in 1912 to produce the Grande Dame of Dallas hotels.  The founder of The Adolphus hotel in Dallas, Texas, Missouri beer baron Adolphus Busch, chose to honor his adopted city with 21 stories of unabashed baroque splendor.

Critics have called his Texas landmark “the most beautiful building west of Venice.”  Today, still flaunting its historic finery, the luxury Adolphus hotel shines with $80 million worth of renovations and enhancements in the heart of downtown Dallas. 

Service as well as architectural splendor set The Adolphus apart as the finest of Dallas hotels.  Everyone from the doorman to the managing director follows exacting standards that emphasize quick action, warm hospitality, and meticulous attention to detail.  Nothing is overlooked in making each guest feel welcome and at home.

The Adolphus hotel features 422 guest rooms, including 16 suites, and proudly offers over 24,000 square feet of attractive and flexible meeting and event space.  Dining options include the award-winning French Room serving an international menu adapted to contemporary American tastes.  In a setting that The New York Times describes as “a Louis XV fantasy on the prairie ... The French Room is indisputably the most striking and sumptuous restaurant in Dallas.”

The Adolphus hotel has been recognized in many prestigious industry publications and has been honored by some of the most elite hospitality and travel industry associations.
