Then grab your flip-flops, adjust your swimming costume, and get ready to dive in at the deep end of the best hotels with pools in Dallas.
The Statler Dallas, Curio Collection by Hilton
Chain Hotel, Hotel
Frank Sinatra, the Jackson 5, Tony Bennett – these are just a few of the legendary acts who performed at the Statler Ballroom in what is now the Statler Dallas, Curio Collection By Hilton. A retro hotel with its roots in the ‘50s, this place was given a high-tech upgrade in 2018. You’ll find an iPad, Nespresso coffeemaker, and other gadgets in your suite. Ask the concierge in hushed tones to tell you where the secret-access speakeasy and rooftop pool are so you can sip on a few Old Fashioneds – just the way Ol’ Blue Eyes did.
Lorenzo Hotel
Boutique Hotel, Hotel
Looking to mix it up while in Dallas? Then make a beeline for the Relativity Pool Bar at Lorenzo Hotel. During summer the Sip and Swim events will get you mingling easily with new friends. No need to wait until then, though; in between seasons you’re free to grab a drink and get chatting to the guy next to you about the Albert Einstein artwork looming over the water. If a storm tries to rain on your parade, head to the covered Kolache Korner for a coffee and burrito until sunny skies return.

Grab a pastry at the hotel’s breakfast bar or snack on small bites and beverages at the bar. No matter where or how much you choose to eat, be sure to count down 30 minutes before hopping into the pool.

Texican Court, Valencia Hotel Group
Chain Hotel
Gain a new appreciation for the greater Dallas area with a stay in Irving city at Texican Court by Valencia Hotel Group. Bring your four-legged friend along and they’ll receive a welcome box full of treats, a Texican bandana, and a credit towards snacks in your room’s minibar if you want to spoil your dog (or yourself). Even though there’s no doggy paddling in the pool, there are plenty of relaxation areas outdoors where you can soak up that vital vitamin D (for Dallas) together.
The Joule
Hotel
Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek
Boutique Hotel, Independent Hotel, Luxury
Escape from the city without leaving the heart of Dallas at Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek. Tucked into an exclusive neighborhood, this estate-sized hotel plunges you into refined resort living in an urban sanctuary. You can dip in the temperature-controlled pool any time of the year, warming up with craft cocktails in the colder months. Come bedtime, these suites (with their petite balconies and welcoming foyers) tempt you to stay cuddled up by using the 24-hour in-room dining service. Since you’re staying in, book a therapeutic massage in the sauna while you’re at it.
The Lumen
Boutique Hotel, Independent Hotel, Luxury
It’s difficult to believe that back in the 1960s this unique boutique hotel was a motel. They’ve completely revitalized the space, adorning suites with luxury linens, adding soaking tubs, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Gaze out and you may see the pool, inviting you to swim a few laps. After you’ve done so, and lounged awhile, swap your flip-flops for tennis shoes and dry off on a ride around Highland Park, on one of Lumen’s free-to-borrow bicycles.
