Plan an escape to the ‘new’ Dallas

What’s bringing people to Dallas for a vacation? The local hotel association credits new development in retail, arts, parks and other areas, estimated at about $84 billion.
To grab some of the action, existing hotels are jumping into the major renovation game. Right now, these include the former Adam’s Mark downtown, now a Sheraton again; the Renaissance Dallas; and the Hilton Anatole, the latter two both situated on Stemmons Freeway, near Victory Park.

Two noteworthy upgrades

The Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek:
Opened in 1981, the Mansion is slated to begin a total renovation of all 143 rooms and suites later this year. The focus will be on highlighting the hotel’s residential feel and will bring a mix of furniture styles and fabrics to rooms, making them look less uniform.
Part of the $20 million project took place last year, with an update to the vaunted restaurant, to give it a less formal feel. This summer, the hotel offers a Rosewood Escapes rate available through Labor Day, starting at $235 per night Friday through Sunday, including full breakfast for two and valet parking; or $285 per night on Monday through Thursday, excluding extras. 2821 Turtle Creek Blvd., Dallas, 214-559-2100

Hyatt Regency Dallas:
The 1,122-room downtown hotel got a new look a couple of years ago, and now it’s begun a $46 million redo of the landmark Reunion Tower and adjacent Union Station. The big news in this project is the arrival of a Wolfgang Puck signature restaurant, 50 stories up in the revolving tower space, and a Wolfgang Puck Catering operation in the historic train station. Summer rates start at $154; the Explore Package, which includes valet parking, breakfast for two and two tickets to the Sixth Floor Museum, starts at $195. 300 Reunion Blvd., Dallas, 214-651-1234
