Frommer's Review

The St. Germain is blissfully out of place in Dallas. The tiny, intimate boutique hotel and restaurant envelops guests in old-world luxury, with a library, parlors, and sumptuous style that borders on bordello. Equal parts late-19th-century France and New Orleans, each of the seven suites is individually decorated, with pampering features such as wood-burning fireplaces, tapestries, draped Napoleon sleigh beds, bidets, and Jacuzzis and soaking tubs. Indulgence is rarely cheap, and of course it isn't here (though the two largest and most expensive suites really skew the price range), but you get an awful lot of refined white-glove treatment for the price of admission. Continental breakfast is included. The romantic restaurant, which overlooks an ivy-covered garden courtyard and serves a seven-course, prix-fixe gourmet dinner (Tues-Sat, on antique Limoges china and by candlelight for $85 per person), is ideal for a very special occasion (jackets required) or merely a superior meal. The candlelit, parlorlike Champagne Bar is capable of making Dallas feel like Paris, and that's saying something!

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
