Located just south of downtown Dallas, Belmont Hotel's less than three miles from most of Dallas' museums, bars and attractions.
But you won't even need to leave the property to take in Dallas summer fun, as this hotel is now hosting Barefoot at the Belmont throughout the summer.
Barefoot at the Belmont features the best local and national acts playing for an intimate crowd in front of the pool, with views of the skyline in the background. The series sells out early every year, so be sure to book your stay for a Thursday night.
Along with the legendary summer concert series, the Belmont is the perfect place to escape and get away from it all in style.
Guest rooms come in different varieties, including standard, deluxe, junior suites and suites. Every room is decorated in funky, minimalist style, and many rooms have soaking tubs right beside the bed.
Other room amenities include complimentary self-parking, free Internet in the rooms and throughout the property, luxury toiletries, flat-panel televisions, room service and mini-fridges in all junior and regular suites.
The property itself is beautiful, and guests can unwind on a retro patio chair in native Texan gardens, or cool off in the outdoor swimming pool, which boasts the Dallas skyline views.
There's also an onsite health club – Clairevista Vitality Club – which features StarTrac treadmills and bikes with personal fans; Precor elliptical trainers; free weights, including multiple benches, racks and dumbbells from one to 100 pounds; and conditioning equipment like Swiss balls, balance boards, kettle bells and foam rollers.
If you're more in the mood to unwind, grab a seat at one of the hippest bars in town, Bar Belmont, where you can sip a martini on the terrace and watch the sunset reflected in the Dallas skyline. The bar also regularly schedules art openings and tarot card readings.
Hungry? You're in luck, as Belmont Hotel has one of Dallas' best restaurants: SMOKE restaurant, the city's most upscale barbecue spot, has won many awards.
No matter what you're in the mood for – whether relaxing or partying – Belmont Hotel is the perfect place in Dallas to stay this summer!
