Hotel ZaZa Dallas: A Feast For The Senses

Grand entrance

The low-key, but efficient staff attend to your every need on your arrival. After checking in, before heading to your room, it will be difficult to avoid lingering in the lobby to observe the artworks up close. Most of the lobby art is of human faces in one medium or another. It’s hard to say which display will hypnotize you first. All of the art in ZaZa is from the hotel owner’s private collection and a fine one at that. You will find art almost everywhere in the hotel but observe the way ZaZa takes a hotel stay to a higher level making their hotel experience an art form of its own.

A pleasant rest

The rooms are some of the most visually pleasing anywhere. Whether you choose a standard king room or one of the over-the-top concept suites it will soon be apparent, this is an exclusive hotel. All 169 rooms feature spacious work desks, complimentary WiFi, luxury bath amenities, mini refrigerators and quirky gourmet snacks and beverages. Hotel ZaZa Dallas spoils guests with other amenities such as a butler’s pantry on every floor giving guests coffee each morning and ‘after school snacks’ in the lobby each afternoon. If you check in on Friday or Saturday, a free champagne toast starts your visit off on the right foot.

Their 17 luxury concept suites range in size from 460 sq ft/42 .7 M ² to over 2,100 sq ft/195 M². Indulge in the Villa Champagne concept suite where golden colors of Provence soothe away your travels and invite a round of champagne and caviar. Or try the Shag-a-delic Austin Powers themed suite with bright colors, whimsical plush pillows on a circular couch and a photo of Austin Powers for inspiration in bed if needed?

If you want to take your experience even higher, try one of the new Bungalow Suites offering ultimate privacy in a circa 1930s historic home behind the main building. Amenities in the Bungalow Suites include a morning butler’s pantry with Odwalla juices, coffee, and various offerings through the day. Enjoy a pinyon pine fire nightly in the brick courtyard. These Bungalow suites include easy access to the main hotel’s poolside, ZaSpa and award winning Dragonfly restaurant.

Splurge by the pool

The pool can be enjoyed in the cooler months due to a heated cover keeping the chill at bay. Poolside is a perfect place for hosting special events. Invite friends and family to join you poolside for an al fresco meal or after dinner drinks for a memorable evening splurge.
