The Hotel Palomar is one of Dallas’ most acclaimed and highly prized boutique hotels.  It is situated perfectly and is both pet and eco-friendly.

“Hotel Palomar is a style of timeless sophistication paying homage to art's many articulations such as visual art, fashion, dance, literature and architecture (www.HotelPalomar-Dallas.com).” It is Hotel Palomar’s goal to inspire quests with elegant and sensual décor, thoughtful amenities, exemplary service, and the infusion of art throughout their stay (www.HotelPalomar-Dallas.com).

Having been listed with AAA as a “four diamond” experience; on the 2007 Conde Nast Hot list; as the best place to work in the Dallas Business Journal; Best Dallas Boutique Hotel according to both City Search and Dallas Voice; In the best of list in Hospitality Design and on the National Geographic’s “Hotels We Love” 2009 Stay List, it becomes quite clear that the Hotel Palomar offers its quests an unparalleled experience.

Hotel Palomar makes its presences known as it is assumes a coveted spot of real estate alongside Dallas’ bustling highway 75, near Southern Methodist University, Mockingbird Station-a popular shopping destination, West Village- another of Dallas’ popular shopping destinations for urban trendsetters, the North Park Shopping Center- one of Dallas’ highest end malls and only moments away from the Dallas Convention Center and Downtown Dallas. This prized location makes the Hotel Palomar one of the best hotel experiences for both business and leisure travelers.

There are not many hotels, not to mention elegant and sophisticated hotels nestled in an urban oasis that specialize in catering to quests and their pets. Hotel Palomar is one of the few hotels where pets are treated as well as standard quests. All four-legged visitors are pampered, Hotel Palomar, even offers a special pet package: The Bone Appetite Pet Package which includes: a luxurious pet bed, treats, designer pet bowls, personalized pet tags, take-home toys and, even, bottled water.

Aside from the spectacular hospitality, elegantly designed rooms with a contemporary twist that provide a “getaway” in an urban oasis, a fabulous pool retreat, great dining, the Exhale Spa and all of the other amenities that one expects when visiting a hotel of this caliber, I find most impressive is Hotel’s Palomar’s dedication to providing its quests an eco-friendly experience. Their commitment to this growing trend is apparent.

“Our hotel uses non-intrusive, high quality eco-friendly practices and products that are making our world a cleaner, healthier place to live. We are protecting both the environment and the sublimely comfortable, memorable experiences our guests have come to know and love.”

Hotel Palomar boasts of their using soy based ink and recycled paper on all corporate media collateral. Additionally, they offer complimentary organic fair trade coffee in their lobby and organic beverages and snacks at their Honor Bar. They recycle glass, bottles, paper and cardboard and provide guests the option for recycling by having available designer recycling bins in every room. Additionally guests are provided the opportunity to reuses linens thus reducing daily energy and detergent use. They are committed to energy and water conservation programs making sure that house lighting is both retrofitted and audited to ensure the use of energy efficient bulbs and that the water flow systems for their faucets, toilets and showers are low. Hotel Palomar, also, partakes in a donation program, donating items that, otherwise, would be discarded, to local charities.  Hotel Palomar is dedicated to adhering to the best practices, environmentally.

Whether visiting for business; finding yourself in Dallas, for whatever the reason alone; coming to the Big D to enjoy our city with friends and/or family for leisure, concerned about trekking uncharted territory with your pet who requires the same pampering as you do, Hotel Palomar is a “must do” hotel experience!
