Rosewood Mansion On Turtle Creek: Dallas Texas In Style And Comfort

The arrival

Soft peach-colored exteriors calm you upon arrival as the bellmen tend to your luggage. In the lobby, polished staff members greet and guide you on your way to a memorable stay whether it’s your first visit or one of many. If it feels like a billionaire’s home, that’s because it was previously owned by more than one very wealthy family.

Once home to the King family in 1908, it was irreparably damaged in a tragic fire in 1923. Rebuilt in 1925, the King family had to sell the property during the Great Depression. Opened by the new owners, Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek welcomed guests to enjoy one of 143 ornate guestrooms in 1981. Now an AAA (American Automobile Association) five diamond rated property, both celebrities and regular people love staying at this former mansion.

Guests appreciate the luxury the King Family began. Meticulously restored interiors are evident in the hand-carved fireplaces, marble floors and stained glass windows. Many of the designer touches were a result of the King family’s European travels. They brought back ideas and materials that have helped shape the mansion even to this day. In the restaurant area, I noticed flooring that reminded me of my travels in southern Spain. I was told that was where the flooring came from and it still radiates style and charm.

The luxurious suites

Four types of rooms and four luxurious suites offer guests a unique urban refuge. The deluxe room, while at the beginning of the list of choices is like a suite in most hotels. A spacious 450 sq ft/41.8 m² contains enough space for a sitting area and a step-out balcony. The bathroom has a tub and shower combination with a separate vanity area. The bed linens are Italian Rivolta Carmignani, and toiletries are by Natura Bissē.

Stepping up to a Deluxe Patio Room gives guests a private patio in a beautiful garden setting. A Poolside Room will please those who wish to be near the pool to keep an eye on children. A Premier Room offers guests a step-out balcony with views of the hotel grounds and Turtle Creek.

Dining in style

The Mansion Restaurant is one of the most spectacular restaurants in Dallas. Dining outdoors in style is recommended on days when the heat has abated. The culinary team has close relationships with local ranchers and food purveyors delivering the finest dining experiences to your table. Whether you join them for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner, it will be a memorable meal. Try an entree of Texas Boar or prime rib eye for a meaty, satisfying dinner. Also, seafood dishes like crispy octopus or dayboat scallops will please a lighter appetite.
