Features
  

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.


Guests swim in the Olympic-sized rooftop pool, and enjoy a variety of foods from the pool snack bar. For a burst of energy, guests rely on the sizable lobby-level Starbucks for coffee, muffins, pastries and other items. The Starbucks offers both indoor and outdoor seating.


The Fairmont Dallas is in the heart of the Dallas Arts District, an area known for its wealth of artistic options, including dance, fine art, music, and performing arts.

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.

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.

Flew in for a mavs game. Walking distance to American Airlines Arena and JFK site. Clean rooms. Vallet parking was pretty steep, you really don't need a car if you are just staying down town.

Good, but expensive

I was on a business trip. Nevertheless, I think that at least water in the room could have been complimentary. I was not really sure what I was paying for.
