Excellent location, flawless service, beautiful rooms, amazing property and amenities, I dont know where to begin on how wonderful this hotel is.

Ive stayed at a few of the W hotels across the country and this one is definitely one of the best.

If your familiar with the Dallas - Fort Worth area metroplex, you'll see that the hotels location is perfect for business or pleasure. Located right on the outskirts of downtown and near uptown, its right by all major highways and access to other parts of the city and surrounding cities.

Its literally right next door to the American Airlines Center so if your in town for an event, concert, or sporting game (Dallas, Mavericks or Dallas Stars) its absolutely perfect. You can walk across the street and not have to deal with traffic or parking.
Located in the same block as the arena and also directly next door to the hotel is one of the news studios for WFAA Channel 8 where they shoot live news segments and shows daily so you may have a chance to get on tv sometimes or you may see one of your favorite artists or one of their special guests in the studio during the taping or airing of the show.
All in all, that area is a pretty cool experience. Sometimes it feels like a mini times square when there is a really big event going on at the arena.

Also surrounding the arena and hotel and really nice bars, lounges and restaurants, along with another upscale residential property so it stays pretty busy and upbeat. A good place for 20 to 30 somethings to enjoy themselves.

Down the opposite direction of the street are a few more residential properties and small stores attached to the W hotel property on the block. At the farthest end of one of the W residential towers is the House of Blues, which is always jumping and is an EXCELLENT place for a live show or even dinner and drinks. There's also a Hooters right across the street from that (the biggest Hooters location in the nation. with the best looking staff, i might add) And there is also a brand new Hard Rock Cafe on the adjoining block to that. Which is massive as well and is a great spot for a business lunch or to catch a game on tv.
Now, all that plus more I didnt mention is all in walking distance to the hotel so you can literally stay down there and do zero driving if your just in town for fun. Ive stayed there for a month last year and i think i took a cab once a week to a location in the middle of downtown for business meetings. Theres more restaurants within a quick cab ride away and the uptown area of dallas is nearby as well which is filled with trendy lounges, clubs, restaurants, stores, gyms, etc. Its the best part of Dallas with the most going on.

Needless to say, the location is CHOICE! Your going to love it.

The hotel itself is something to see. Its huge and is retro fitted with the standard W styling of super modern and extra fancy. Its got a slick lobby area and a sexy hotel bar called the Library Bar that has a trendy vibe and a really nice patio. They have guest dj's from time to time and sometimes do special happy hour events. Its a good place to go unwind before or after resting up in your room.

The hotel has a top notch restaurant called Craft which is always amazing and never lets me down. I usually do my nicer dinners there then order room service if i need to and eat out in the surrounding places that i can walk to (hooters, hard rock, neros pizza, etc)

If your into the club/lounge scene then this hotel will be perfect because on the top floor is the Ghostbar. Its the W hotels staple club establishment and is usually rocking the roof off. The only other ghostbar better than this would have to be in Vegas cause this place is amazing. If you've been to one then you know, they are nice. This one has a huge see thru patio on the outside with a bar attached so you can see straight down below while your hanging out up there. I think its something around 33 floors up in the air. Pretty sweet to see.

The hotel amenities are all great. All that plus excellent room service (the food is actually really really good), an AMAZING pool area and wet deck, and a really nice gym, all makes this place basically a one stop shop for all your travel, relaxation, and party needs. Oh and i think there's spa on the first floor but Ive never paid much attention to it. Its past the elevators so when i arrive i usually just go straight to my room without going near the spa area. ha

The staff is always impressive and does an excellent job at making sure the stay is an enjoyable one. Its strictly private access to the rooms so if you have visitors, the front desk will call you to either come down to meet with them or they will give buzz them up. Makes it pretty handy to limit traffic flow of people who may not actually being staying at the hotel. (noise, solicitation, etc)

Lets see, the rooms! The rooms are always amazing and are SUPER comfortable. They are equipped with just about everything you will need and anything else you can just call the front desk and they will deliver it directly to your room. Ive ordered everything from an mp3 cord to plug in my mp3 player to the clock radio device, to a pack of cigarettes, to a 12 pack of beer, to a wine cooler. You name it, they will either already have it on hand or will get it for you.

The beds are super comfy and come in standard queen or king sizes. There's a small chair or lounger in each room with a small desk, dry bar area, 32" or 40" flat screen, alarm clock mp3 ipod player device, 2 phones, and a nice separate bathroom area.
The bathroom area includes toiletries, and a nice robe and linens.

The rooms themselves always feel alot bigger in comparison to similar hotel chains around the same price. Ive stayed in both the double queen with 3 other people and the king suite just to myself and they always feel like i have a ton of room. Oh, they are also always super clean too. the bedroom area and the bathrooms are always spotless and look like they've never even been used.

Overall, if your looking to stay somewhere nice and really do it up. Stay here. You get alot of bang for your buck and you'll never be disappointed. Its a rockin spot to stay and is definitely my go-to place in Dallas.

We love the W Dallas... everything you need, is in one place! The Lounge is a great place to start your evening. Followed by dinner at Craft, and dancing at the Ghost Bar! The views from Ghost are fabulous! Staff is very accommodating.... especially the "whatever,whenever" service! My boyfriend, had a lil too much fun, and they went to the store, for crackers and 7-up. Now that's service! The hotel is very modern and chic. The pool is gorgeous with great views too! And room service is always incredible!

I stayed here last April and the staff was extremely helpful in referring dining and activities, the room was super chic, bed unbelievably comfortable, and the overall experience was fantastic. We also had our Westie with us, and the staff couldn't have been nicer to him! We ended up getting a great deal on expedia, and we couldn't have been happier!

Was lucky enough to get a modest upgrade-- the room itself was large by W standards and of typical W style.

Room service very expensive, as expected. Location is not super convenient to anything, about a 20 minute walk to anywhere interesting. Staff is a little aloof and with the exception of one or two, more interested in chatting with each other than helping guests.

Bar was actually pretty happening on a Sunday evening.
