There is one hotel there does make the mark. Le Méridien by the Galleria is a great place to stay while in Dallas. It has a bit more contemporary touch than other hotels with an open feel that you enjoy staying in. A short walk across the street from the Galleria makes shopping just a bit too convenient, so be prepared to lighten your wallet at the mall, if the women tag along.
