The Belmont Hotel At Dilbeck Court

Rising high above Oak Cliff, the Belmont sits on a landscaped stone bluff that offers panoramic views of downtown Dallas and the Trinity River Corridor. The restoration of this legendary legendary 1940's property reflects architect Charles Stevens Dilbeck's original vision through preservation, yet offers all the modern comfort and convenience you expect to find in a contemporary, boutique hotel.

During your Dallas vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
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 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.
Fair Park
Fair Park, a classic conglomeration of Art Deco buildings and spacious grounds built for the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition, is undergoing a renaissance. Built to commemorate the Republic of Texas's independence from Mexico, it is the only intact and unaltered, pre-1950s world's fair site in the United States. Recognized as a National Historic Landmark for its architecture (the only such landmark in Dallas), Fair Park is an attraction year-round, but especially so during the annual State Fair of Texas (last weekend of Sept and first 3 weeks of Oct), which just celebrated its 50th year.The 277-acre grounds include several museums and performance and sporting facilities like the State Fair Coliseum, Cotton Bowl, Fair Park Bandshell, and Starplex Amphitheater, one of the city's top concert venues. The two major areas are the Esplanade and the Lagoon. There's much to see and do at Fair Park, so depending on your time, you may have to pick and choose. Plan on 2 or 3 hours minimum, and a full day during the State Fair of Texas. Below are the highlights:The Women's Museum, 3800 Parry Ave. (tel. 214/915-0860; www.thewomensmuseum.org), is a huge coup for Dallas. The pet project of a trio of Texas women and designed by Wendy Joseph, the chief designer behind the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., this exciting $25-million museum is an ambitious, high-tech architectural feast, audacious enough to encompass the accomplishments of women over the past century.The museum presents two dozen mostly interactive exhibits, with a clear predilection for engaging the visitor with technological wizardry. Audio guides (handheld cellphones) feature the voices of "mentors" Connie Chung, Gladys Knight, and the former Texas governor Ann Richards. "It's Amazing" is a glass labyrinth of female stereotypes, behind which are revealed several women who defied convention; "Mothers of Invention" showcases popular inventions by women (such as Liquid Paper, conceived by a Dallas secretary, and the brown paper bag). The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon to 5pm. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and students ages 13 to 18, and $3 for children ages 5 to 12.The Hall of State, 3939 Grand Ave. (tel. 214/421-4500; www.hallofstate.com; open Tues-Sat 9am-5pm, Sun 1-5pm), is the centerpiece and principal Art Deco legacy at Fair Park. Inside is a Texan's dream, the Hall of Heroes, with larger-than-life (as any Texan will tell you they were in real life) stalwarts of the Republic of Texas, including Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin. Venture into the four-story-high Great Hall, yet more proof that bigger is always better in Texas.Trains evoke nostalgic feelings of travel and exploration in just about everyone; the collection at the Age of Steam Railroad Museum, 1105 Washington St. (tel. 214/428-0101; www.dallasrailwaymuseum.com), including 28 locomotives, steam-era Pullman passenger cars, and Dallas's oldest surviving train depot, is sure to feed such impulses in visitors of all ages. The entry in the "Bigger in Texas" sweepstakes? Big Boy, the world's largest steam locomotive. The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10am to 5pm; admission is $5 for adults, $2.50 for children.The African American Museum, 3536 Grand Ave. (tel. 214/565-9026; www.aamdallas.org), is the only museum in the Southwest (and one of eight in the country) that focuses on the African-American experience and culture. The standout exhibit is the fine collection of African-American folk art, supplemented by a survey of African art objects and contemporary African-American art. Admission is free; it's open Tuesday through Friday from noon to 5pm, Saturday from 10am to 5pm, and Sunday from 1 to 5pm.The small but diverse collection of marine life at the Dallas Aquarium at Fair Park, 1300 Cullum Blvd. (tel. 214/670-8443), highlights some of the weirder aquatic specimens in the marine and freshwater world, including walking fish, four-eyed fish, upside-down jellyfish, and desert fish. And who can resist watching the piranhas and sharks being fed? The newest and largest addition is the Amazon Flooded Forest, a 10,000-gallon tank with 30 species from the Amazon River. The aquarium is open daily from 9am to 4:30pm; admission is $3 for adults, $1.50 for children ages 3 to 11.The Dallas Museum of Natural History, 3535 Grand Ave. (tel. 214/421-3466; www.dallasdino.org), is the place to view the kind of wildlife that roamed Texas before steers and longhorns: namely, dinosaurs. Permanent exhibits include "Paleontology Lab" and "Prehistoric Texas." The museum is open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 5pm, Sunday from noon to 5pm; admission is $7 for adults, $6 for seniors, $5 for students ages 13 to 18, and $4 for children ages 3 to 12. Parking is free.The Science Place & Planetarium/IMAX Theater, 1313 2nd Ave. (tel. 214/428-5555; www.scienceplace.org; open Tues-Fri 9:30am-4:30pm, Sat 9:30am-5:30pm, Sun 11:30am-5:30pm), is a great place to entertain the kids with more than 300 hands-on science exhibits -- where they can amaze themselves by lifting a half-ton with one hand and playing with electricity -- and the massive, domed IMAX theater. The Planetarium features stargazing shows Monday through Saturday.

My review of The Belmont Hotel At Dilbeck Court

jason

West end is close

I was expecting more! It was like a college dorm room with a skyline view, and they were very small and looked as if they haven't been updated since the seventys.

Value with Funk

Anonymous, Boston, MA

While the rooms and amenities are basic, the Belmont at Dilbeck Court met all the functional needs of this business travel for much less price than a central business district hotel. The staff was consistently helpful, including calling the cab for the five minute trek to downtown!!

Great Style

Anonymous, 2006-11-05

The Belmont Hotel in Dallas has a great look. The bungalow rooms are clean, comfortable and fun to stay in. The hotel staff is excellent both polite and helpful. However, I was a little dissapointed in the location. There is really nothing in walking distance and anything out and to the right is not a good neiborhood.

Nice Stay

Laura, Fort Smith, AR, 2006-11-05

The Belmont Hotel at Dilbeck Court was a very nice change of pace from the norm. The 40's style motor lodge has been remodeled to keep it's charm and yet offer all of the modern aminities. The staff was very helpful from check in to check out. The lounge and patio provided a very relaxing atmosphere to enjoy conversation with friends. We were very happy with our stay and will return on our next trip to Dallas.

It's all in the details

Anonymous, Las Vegas, NV, 2006-10-02

I enjoyed my stay at the Belmont Hotel. I liked the idea of a boutique hotel in a neighborhood undergoing gentrification. The management took a lot of care in the details: flat screen TV, comfortable bedding and pillows, comp continental breakfast, free internet (not wireless). However, the retro mod decor of the room made it feel cold and uninviting. I realized this one morning when going downstairs for breakfast and feeling like i did NOT want to bring it back to the room. The flip side to being in a neighborhood undergoing gentrification is the iffy surroundings. I did not feel comfortable going out for my daily walk and the hotel does not have a gym. The bar was cool but overrated from what I have heard. The price/value ratio for this hotel is hard to justify.

Different, but nice hotel

Keelee, Houston, TX, 2006-08-10

This hotel was nice. It's very different than your normal hotels that you would stay in. Everything is very modern and the atomsphere is just the same. Our room was nice and cozy except it stayed kind of warm in the room. You can set your a/c to the temp you like but they ask to not lower it past 70 degrees. We set ours to 70 but it never got below 74. I liked the bed, my boyfriend said the bed was too hard. It is located in a part of Dallas that seems run-down, but the hotel itself is not. The breakfast was very good. They had fresh breads out, milk, ceral, juices, water etc. Overall I would give this hotel a 4.7 out of 5.0.

Great hotel option

James, Baton Rouge, LA, 2006-07-26

You're a very short drive down Commerce St. from the Sixth Floor Museum of the old Texas Schoolbook Depository.

The Belmont is a very comfortable, historic hotel. The decor is absolutely wonderful, and the staff is excellent. My only complaint is that there are no restaurants immediately close to the hotel. The bar does serve some appetizer/sandwiches, though, so that helps. Overall, a great stay. It's a great option to get away from the usual medium-priced hotels.

Hip Hotel

Anonymous, San Francisco, CA, 2006-07-09

Ask for a room with a view of the city.

The Belmont was suprisingly easy to get to from downtown Dallas, (literally 5-7 minutes), and is a great value for the money. The hip bar and outdoor patio with excellent views of Dallas seemed packed most nights with revelers of all ages interested in escaping the city for a bit of a funkier take on the normal Dallas scene. The standard rooms were very comfortable, especially the beds, and all the toiletries were Kiehls!!! A complete bonus. Staff were friendly and dining options near the hotel were abundant, particularly in the near-by charming Bishop Arts District.We loved the "design-boutique" feel of the place for much less than boutique prices.
