Feel like royalty (yes, Queen Elizabeth has stayed here) the old-fashioned way. The
422-room Adolphus takes us back to the days when gentlemen wore ties and hotels were
truly grand, not bastions of ascetic minimalism. Just exploring the 22 floors is an adven-
ture. Note that room sizes vary widely.
Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek
( 214-559-2100;

; 2821 Turtle Creek Blvd; r $275-600; )
Step into
a life of ease, where for every two guests there's one staff member attending. This is the
definitive five-star Dallas hotel, and a worthy splurge. Rooms have fresh flowers and
hand-carved European furnishings, and dinner is served in the original, marble-clad, 1925
Italianate villa.

Eating
Deep Ellum, just east of downtown, is your choice for eclectic eats. This area, 'deep' up
Elm St, gets its name from the Southern-drawl pronunciation of 'Elm.' Otherwise head to
uptown for myriad choices. Bishop Ave, dotted with interesting places to eat and drink,
merges hipster and funky - walk off your vittles by window-shopping the idiosyncratic
boutiques.
