“We had a wonderful stay at the Fairmont Dallas! The hotel itself is beautiful, comfortable, and incredibly convenient for a family visiting Dallas. The amenities made our stay easy and enjoyable, and the location was fantastic for our plans. Being so close to both the Dallas World Aquarium and the Perot Museum made getting around with two young children especially convenient. The valet service was excellent as well. Every time we needed our vehicle, the v…”

“Exceptional Staff Inside and Out! We were at the Fairmont for the Murchison-Velez wedding and have nothing but amazing things to say about the entire staff. Our exceptional experience actually began the day before we arrived, when we received a welcoming call from Boi. From that moment until the time we departed, the service was truly outstanding. Everyone went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed, valued, and well taken care of. A special thank-you…”

“This was by far the worst experience I have ever had at a hotel. It was extremely hot outside and the room was not cooling down, it got up to 78 degrees. When we called the front desk they sent an engineer to take a look. The engineer then proceeded to attempt to gaslight us into thinking the AC was fine but that there was one more place he could check and that he would check back in on us in ten minutes. An hour went by and we never heard from him, so we …”

“We celebrated our 30th anniversary with a weekend in Dallas. Staying at the Fairmont helped to make it a perfect getaway. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special, and the serving staff in the restaurant all deserve raises. :) And auch good food! The hotel is walking distance to the Nasher and the Arts District. Bummer that parking is so expensive, but truly, if you're looking for a very comfortable and friendly place in Dallas, we highly r…”
