JW Marriott has announced the opening of JW Marriott Dallas Arts District. Located within walkable blocks from the Dallas Museum of Art, Nasher Sculpture Center, Crow Museum of Asian Art, Meyerson Symphony Center, Moody Performance Hall, and the Winspear Opera House, this is the first JW Marriott hotel in Dallas.
The 267-key hotel has a "mid-air" pool and deck with cabanas offering views of downtown Dallas, while the 11th floor sky lobby is a double volume museum-esque space with a floating staircase and glass railing with displays of artworks.
JW Marriott Dallas Arts District additionally houses three dining venues. Margaret’s, a three-meal ranch-to-table restaurant located on the 11th floor, honors the memory of philanthropist Margaret McDermott, a longtime supporter of Dallas’ fine arts institutions; Vincent’s Sky Lounge, a nod to Vincent van Gogh’s “Starry Night,” serves cocktails and bites with views of the Dallas night sky from a mid-air lounge; and 800 North, a street-level cocktail lounge serves trend-forward cocktails, wines and light bites. All three outlets will incorporate herbs grown in the hotel’s JW Garden, a hydroponic Farmshelf system in which herbs are grown to be used as garnishes, in cocktails, and as subtle ingredients in various dishes.
Located on the 11th floor near the grand staircase, JW Market will serve Illy coffee products, healthy to-go breakfast and lunch options, as well as gourmet pastries.
The hotel also offers over 20,000 square feet of flexible function and event space. The Harwood Ballroom at 7,870 square feet is ample for large gatherings and has a contemporary “knife’s edge” ceiling detail for lighting, while the carpet design pays tribute to Dallas’ iconic Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge. The 3,000-square-foot Flora Ballroom has a custom ceiling design which mimics sound waves.
A new space for JW Marriott, the Blank Canvas Room, named the Pearl Room at this property, is an all-white room with hardwood flooring that can be customized to suit clients’ needs. The 3,555-square-foot Pearl Room is ideal for brainstorming and strategy sessions, and is the first Blank Canvas in a JW Marriott hotel.
Tucked into niches within the hotel’s lobby and pre-function areas, the hotel offers four spaces for guests to take a break or connect with their thoughts. Additionally, the Executive Lounge is adaptable for large groups to gather for breakfast or cocktails.
