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.

It was luxurious but you are charged for extra things like in-room coffee. The lights were not all working. But we got a good price so I can't complain.
The light above the desk was out, the light in the vanity mirror was out, there was about 1/4 inch of dust on the sconces in the bathroom, and there was minibar food left on the end table in the sitting area of our room.

The food was excellent at the restaurant, the buffet and the banquet we ate at, quite pricey but then so was the hotel, too. We were able to get a group rate through the national director, for the hotel food and the rooms. I really enjoyed staying, but it is way too expensive. It was a beautiful place to stay and all were very helpful and friendly.
It was so plush looking with rich deep colors look chairs and curtains. The fluffy bed covers, the gold looking faucets, the marble sinks were elegant. Everyone wore tailored suits or uniforms and all was clean looking.
I am not likely
to return to the The Adolphus.
I might recommend it to friends.
