An Uptown Dallas icon, Hotel Crescent Court remains a solid option for a relaxing stay in the middle of the city. Originally built to be bigger than the Empire State Building, this hotel broke a world record in the amount of limestone it used in construction in 1986. It supposedly also has the world’s largest collection of cast alumnium — in its exterior decor and trellies. It’s a grand building, which also houses some of the best spots in Dallas including Nobu and cocktail bar, Beau Nash.
The spa and second-floor pool are other highlights. The Spa at The Crescent boasts 22,000 square feet of renovated spa and fitness facilities including 16 treatment rooms, a whirlpool with hot and cold plunges, a nail salon, and more. The outdoor pool is kept at 85 degrees, year-round.
