Texican Court, by Valencia Hotel Group

Fashioned after a roadside motor court, this retro-cool boutique hotel is a unique and surprisingly affordable (rates average $99 a night) retreat across from the Toyota Music Factory entertainment venue in the Las Colinas area of Irving. Each of the 152, pet-friendly rooms and suites feature plush pillow top beds, custom luxury bath amenities, 50" flat screens, free WiFi, coffee/tea makers and 1950's style SMEG refrigerators stocked with snacks and beverages. Other perks include free parking, a complimentary continental breakfast buffet, live music on weekends, loaner bikes, a hip Mexican restaurant, a tequila bar and a 24-hour fitness center. Just like the motor courts of yore, guests will also find a circular pool set in the center of the property, complete with multiple courtyards, firepits and outdoor games.
