1. The Westin Dallas Stonebriar Golf Resort & Spa

Your spouse might not understand why you packed your 3-wood, but the Westin does; the 18-hole Tom Fazio course isn’t going to play itself. Your golf club is not going to take up much space in your spacious deluxe room, and it’s not like you’re going to lug it down to the spa during your couples massage. But, if you did bring it with you to dinner at Beans and Barrel, you might as well take a detour to the Topgolf Swing Suite golf simulator at the hotel.

2. Omni Frisco Hotel

It’s almost impossible not to have a good time at Omni, located in the Star entertainment district and beside the Dallas Cowboys Headquarters. Its outdoor infinity pool overlooks the Star, allowing you to scope out dinner as you digest the delicious grown-up grilled cheese you had for lunch at the Neighborhood Services restaurant. Let the time get away from you? Snap out of it with a cup of Stance Coffee in your room as you catch a Cowboy’s game on your STAYCAST streaming TV.

3. Hilton Dallas/Plano Granite Park

Business Hotel

As most guests come to Granite Park for business, this hotel makes it its business to show you a good time. Both the guest rooms and suites have dedicated workspaces and full access to the business center. There’s a Starbucks in the lobby, giving you the pep you need for that deadline push. When you punch the clock and loosen that tie, make a beeline across the street to Union Bear Brewing Company for a well-deserved UB Smash IPA.

4. Sheraton Stonebriar Hotel

Chain Hotel

Whether it’s huevos rancheros for breakfast or slow-cooked brisket for dinner, every meal will send you back to your room with a cowboy’s swagger. It’s probably best to sink like a stone into your queen bed, a trip to the pool might need to wait a few hours.

5. Renaissance Dallas at Plano Legacy West Hotel

As it’s connected to the popular Legacy West, it’s not hard to have a night out enjoying shopping, dining and drinking at Renaissance Dallas. The hotel will make it difficult to leave, though. The rooftop pool, with its striking Texas sunsets and its strong tequila sunrises, is where you’ll want to spend your time. The Asian-Texas fusion food at OMA tastes like Zen-cowboy cuisine and pairs perfectly with a laid-back night in your Oriental-style luxury bath suite.

After you close down Hawaiian Falls, grab a few leashes, and take the pups on a long walk at Frisco Central Park.
