Belmont Hotel

Frommer's Review

Though retro chic is all the rage in Dallas, nobody does it more authentically than this 1-year-old hipster boutique hotel at the edge of Oak Cliff (a 5-min. drive from downtown). Rising from the ashes of a 1946 motor lodge, and from a bluff with panoramic views of downtown Dallas, it's a great spot for arts, architecture, and design-conscious sorts to stay -- and feel like they're not in Dallas. It does mid-century modern without the heavy dose of glamour other new hotels insist on. It's cozy and comfortable, and a variety of rooms spread out over four distinctly flavored buildings, including garden rooms, two-story loft suites, and bungalow rooms. Accommodations echo the spare aesthetic of the period, but add nice doses of warmth and color. Bonuses include flat-panel TVs, plush robes, and Kiehl's products, making this nifty little place an excellent value. An outdoor terrace and lounge area frame the Big D skyline at sunset, and the lounge bar, BarBelmont, has become the watering hole of choice for the cognoscenti fleeing the slick Uptown scene.
