During your Dallas vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Meadows Museum of Art
On the campus of Southern Methodist University is one of the city's best-kept secrets: the finest collection of Spanish art outside Spain (so significant, in fact, that it spent much of 2000 on display at the top-tier Thyssen-Bornemisza museums in Madrid and Barcelona). A Dallas oil magnate, Algur Meadows, went to Spain to search for oil, entertaining himself at the Prado Museum. He came up dry, but his sojourn into Spanish art history bore fruit: Meadows began to assemble a splendid collection of works from the 15th to 20th centuries, including pieces by Spanish masters from the Golden Age of Spanish painting (such as Velázquez, Goya, Ribera, Murillo, Zurbarán -- just about the only big name missing is El Greco). Having moved into a new building six times larger than the old site, Meadows Museum is one of the best small museums with a singular focus in the U.S. Of special note among the nearly 700 items on display are Ribera's Retrato de un Caballero de Santiago and Goya's El Corral de los Locos (by many accounts the finest Goya found in the United States), as well as a series of 200 works on paper by Goya. The 20th-century Spanish masters Picasso, Dalí, Miró, and Tàpies are also represented.
The Dallas World Aquarium
Housed in a former warehouse in the West End district, the Dallas aquarium not at Fair Park is a good place to hide out from the sun downtown. My niece and nephew enjoy communing with the stingrays, sea turtles, sharks, and reef fish. Their favorite, though, is "Orinoco -- Secrets of the River," an immersion into the tropical rainforest of Venezuela, a cool area teeming with Peruvian squirrel monkeys, endangered Orinoco crocs, jaguars, and soft-billed toucans. The newest exhibit is "Mundo Maya," with a 400,000-gallon shark tank. Plan on about an hour's visit. A restaurant and a cafe are on the premises.
The Studios at Las Colinas
North Texas's major movie and TV studio -- where Walker, Texas Ranger and Silkwood were filmed -- offers daily tours of its grounds, including displays of movie memorabilia and hands-on demonstrations of special effects (from that memorable blockbuster Addams Family Values) and blue-screen technology. You'll see the Oval Office set used in Oliver Stone's JFK, as well as costumes from Star Trek and Forrest Gump. If you've been to studios in Hollywood or the movie museums in other parts, you've probably seen more and better; however, if you've always wanted to visit a movie set, you'll at least get a glimpse here. Tours last about an hour and 15 minutes.
The Guest Lodge at Cooper Aerobic Center
Worried that every time you go on vacation you seem to put on a few pounds? Then I've got the place for you. This isn't one of those hard-core boot-camp spas, but an inviting retreat at one of the nation's foremost health facilities, the Cooper Clinic. Set on 30 acres of trees, trails, and duck ponds in North Dallas, the Guest Lodge is a place to relax, if not necessarily a place to relax your gut. The small hotel is a bit of a well-kept secret, a place to unwind and work off stress and pounds. The spacious, comfortable rooms have French doors that open onto private balconies. Guests have complimentary access to the Cooper Fitness Center, which is connected to the famous sports clinic named for Dr. Kenneth Cooper, the author of a dozen fitness books and one of the most influential figures in American fitness training and diagnostics. The facilities include a 40,000-square-foot health club, tennis courts, pools, and running track as well as a Mediterranean-style spa for all manner of relaxing body treatments. You can't very well stay at a place like this without eating healthfully, so most guests take full advantage of the complimentary full continental breakfast and "heart-healthy" fare at the Colonnade Room restaurant.
Hotel Zaza
Welcome to Dallas's "it" hotel, the newest place to be seen, with a scene populated by the young and fabulous, fashionable, and merely wealthy. The Zaza is pretty much a cocktail of SoHo, San Francisco, and Los Angeles as served up in Dallas, but with the friendliness common in Texas. A business hotel for many in the arts-and-entertainment world, this swank four-story boutique lodging at the southern end of McKinney Avenue, the main axis of chic Uptown, is a pleasure-fest of exclusive style. Stylishly decorated standard rooms have plush fabrics and good taste, but the real stars are the array of fabulous, spacious suites with themed decor (ranging from "Out of Africa" and "Erotica" to the expected "Texas" and, no lie, the "Shag-a-delic" Suite) and balconies. The eyepoppingly gorgeous Dragonfly restaurant, run by celeb chef Stephan Pyles, and cocktail lounge have quickly become stars in the Big D nightlife firmament.
The Mansion on Turtle Creek
Where movie stars, princes, and presidents stay, and most of the rest of us paupers merely dream about, the hilltop Mansion, usually lauded as the most desirable hotel in the city, is luxury personified. Whereas the Adolphus has an old-world moneyed feel, the Mansion has a brasher new-money atmosphere. It is perhaps the top place in the state for a blowout splurge; it consistently lands among the very top hotels in polls in national glossy travel magazines. If it feels like a home, albeit a very grand and showy one, that's because it once was the spectacular residence of a Texas cotton magnate in the 1920s and 1930s. The Mansion is all marble floors, inlaid wood ceilings, and stained-glass windows. Regular rooms are gargantuan, as are the beds and bathrooms, and the suites ridiculously so. All have top-quality linens and bath products (Lady Primrose), but some visitors report that weekend rate rooms suffer in comparison with the top-flight ones. Service, though, is faultless across the board. The Mansion's restaurant, which serves sumptuous Southwestern fare, continues to be one of Dallas's finest hotel dining experiences.
