DALLAS, TX - 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.

The Adolphus simply does not compare with hotels such as the St. Regis in Houston. There was no one to open the door for us and help with baggage when we arrived. The man who checked us in was snippy, rather than gracious. This same person acted...
