Crescent Court Hotel
Gold
Pulling into Crescent Hotel's cobblestone circular drive bespeaks the endless European luxury that awaits travelers checking into this glamorous hotel.
Price: Expensive Fitness Facility:
Onsite facility loaded with machines and free weights. Plush spa. Pilates Studio. Health club worthy classes.
Hilton Anatole Dallas Market Center
Gold
Housing 1,614 rooms and located just off the Stemmons Freeway (I-35), travelers looking for a cozy, boutique hotel experience should stay elsewhere. Despite its giant size, the accommodation does have unique characteristics and staff does try their best to provide attentive service with a smile.
Price: Moderately Expensive Fitness Facility:
WOW! Full-amenity health club in the hotel's backyard with lap swimming!
Doubletree Hotel Dallas Market Center
Silver
This Doubletree typically offers less expensive rooms than its sister Anatole Hilton property, though the walk to the Verandah Health Club is somewhat longer.
Price: Least Expensive Fitness Facility:
Some good cardio machines inside the hotel gym and also a half-mile walk to a very impressive private health club (fee for admission)
Fitness Facility:
Funky fitness center with newer equipment on-site and a block away from a full-service mega-chain health club--admission free for both.
Ritz Carlton Dallas
Silver
For those lucky enough to be able to afford a luxurious hotel stay (or work for a company that will spring for it), Ritz Carlton in the Uptown neighborhood of Dallas is a wonderful choice. An Uptown address assures proximity to the heart of Dallas nightlife, restaurants and boutique shops.
Price: Fitness Facility:
Great equipment onsite in a refreshing workout space.
Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek
Silver
Mansion on Turtle Creek is a private and peaceful accommodation that makes you feel as if you're visiting a wealthy friend rather than a public hotel. With only 143 rooms, the boutique property easily caters to its guests' every whim.
Price: Expensive Fitness Facility:
Decent hotel gym onsite, but we expected more from this luxury property.
The Highland
Silver
The Highland sits between two of Dallas's upscale neighborhoods (Park Cities and Lakewood) and a mere 4 miles from downtown and is part of Hilton's Curio Collection. What sets this hotel apart from other Hilton properties?
Price: Expensive Fitness Facility:
Good in-house gym and a useable lap pool; classes cost extra at attached known facility/spa.
Fairfield Inn Dallas Medical/Market Center
Bronze
We only recommend this hotel for those in the audience that are budget seekers. This Fairfield has a small gym onsite that is lacking in strength options.
Price: Least Expensive Fitness Facility:
Cardio options onsite, and less than a 10-minute walk to an enormous and impressive full-service private health club.
