JadeWaters at the Anatole

Another hotel that has splashed into the waterpark action is the Hilton Anatole, located in Dallas' Design District near downtown. Created to appeal to hotel guests of all ages, this 4-acre, Asian-inspired resort not only features a heated, 4,000-square foot leisure pool with a swim-up bar but also a 7,000-square-foot, beach-entry family pool--complete with a pair of 30-foot-tall water slides and a 630-foot-long lazy river. Additional amenities include luxury cabanas, daybeds and an outdoor bar and grill. Along with water activities, the resort dials up the fun with lawn games, dive-in movies and a host of family-fun events. The leisure pool stays open year-round and the family pool is open from May 1 through September 2. Not a hotel guest? No problem, the company, Resort Pass, offers limited quantities of day passes for non-hotel guests starting at $38 per person.
