Sometimes you want a vacation where you don’t have to think too much or spend time in the car going from place to place. This is the type of getaway where the Hilton Anatole shines; you can park your car on a Friday night and have no need to go back to it until Sunday afternooN.
This family- and pet-friendly resort is in the heart of downtown Dallas, but feels like a small slice of paradise. It is easy to forget you are even stateside with the Asian-inspired décor, one of the largest and most beautiful private art collections in America and the seven-acre private Sculpture Park. Over 1,000 rare and unusual treasures and works of art, many that once graced the royal palaces of kings, emperors and czars from Japan, China, India and Southeast Asia — dating back as far as the fifth century BCE — now adorn the hotel’s entryways and embellish its walls. Many of these sculptures, installations and pieces are accessible to tactile examination.
At 600,000 square feet of event space, 79 meeting rooms, nine ballrooms and 1,610 guestrooms including 127 spacious suites, the property truly feels like its own city.
In addition to the beauty and art, the highlight of the Hilton Anatole is the JadeWaters Resort Pool Complex featuring a beach-entry pool, winding water slides, a 630-foot lazy river, splash and play zones for young children, cabanas and daybeds and JadeWaters Grill & Bar for poolside dining. Families, groups and individuals can easily spend all day here. The hotel also has special events such as kid-friendly foam parties and is an entertainment complex. In addition to JadeWaters, the Hilton Anatole recently introduced a Topgolf Swing Suite on property and renovated its tower guest rooms, including the family suite that sleeps up to six people.
Foodies and kids will love the four restaurants and five bars. Options are SER Steak + Spirits, an American steakhouse located on the 27th floor, an adorable candy shop and the game-changing Counter Offer, open 24 hours a day for gourmet grab and go items.
The hotel also recently introduced “Camp Anatole”, an add-on to your room so families can turn their vacation into a cozy campsite with camp-inspired bedding, teepees, snacks, games and more.
