The AAA four-diamond award-winning Pyramid Restaurant & Bar shows distinctive culinary flair by serving dishes made with herbs and vegetables grown on the hotel's rooftop terrace. Fully re-designed, the restaurant resonates with a modern, sleek look that depends on rich earth tones and polished metal. Organic wood sculptures decorate the room and an artistic representation of a centuries-old, crosscut tree welcomes diners inside the foyer.

Dining

Pyramid Restaurant and Bar
The new Pyramid Restaurant & Bar's sleek contemporary decor is perfectly paired with exciting menus created by Executive Chef jW Foster. Since his 2007 arrival in Dallas from his native Canada, Chef Foster has focused on creating a "fresh market" approach to menus for both the restaurant and bar incorporating products that are organic, authentically local and sustainable. jW's personal culinary philosophy emphasizes fresh, local ingredients in an effort to minimize our carbon footprint on the planet and support the local economy. With his new menu for Pyramid Restaurant & Bar, he infuses classic dishes with modern twists while highlighting the wide range and variety of products available in the state of Texas. "We are dancing with classic dishes," says Foster, "not reinventing them. Many of the items on our Modern American menu are designed to evoke an emotional response or memory for our guests."
Starbucks
Coffee drinks, teas, other hot and cold beverages, and pastries. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Fairmont was fair

So the hotel was nice and the room was average, which was unfortunate because the hotel claims to be very nice. I would say the room was close to a room ata Hampton Inn. Also, the room never really got cool, could be the 109 temps outside or just poor ac.

Good and Bad

I attended the May Kay Seminar. The hotel is beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. The restaurant was fabulous and I highly recommend it, note that it is higher priced. The staff were very nice. The only thing that was bad was the performance of the maintenance staff. I stayed three nights and called every morning to tell them the tub drained slowly. I was standing in ankle deep water by the end of every shower. I don't think the maintenance staff believed me, all they did was to take the stopper out. When I checked out I showed them a picture of the tub with standing water. They apologized profusely. With all that being said I will give the Fairmont another chance because it is convenient to the conference center.

Wonderful Mary Kay Hotel Stay

What a beautiful hotel. I stayed on the top floor - 24 - and it was soo hot in there. When I arrived, I turned the thermometer down to under 60, yet it never cooled the room. I asked for a fan, and that was helpful. I hear that this winter they are renovating, so I am confident that next year when I arrive in Dallas for our Mary Kay Seminar, the room will be perfect! The restaurant was divine. The service in the restaurant, the quality of the food, and the ambiance was fabulous!

Although the prices are high, it is well worth it! Chef [...] came out to our table and answered all our questions about the menu. Server [...] was quite knowledgeable. And the Somelier (sp ??) [...] suggested some fabulous wines to go with our meal.

Meets and exceeds your expectations!

Not often do you find a hotel that actually exceeds expectations and when I saw the room, I thought how it actually looked like the picture on the internet! I didn't want to leave.

Nice Hotel

Nice hotel centrally located in downtown. Thought from the description that there was free internet, but there was a daily fee unless you belong to one of their clubs. Parking was $23 a day, but with in and out service it was convenient.
