Sponsored Post: Brief thoughts on area hotels

The following is a paid review.

I'd like to blog for a moment about my experience in Dallas Hotels. Though I live in Dallas, I've had the opportunity to stay overnight for business meetings as well as utilize meeting space at area hotels.  

As one might imagine, I've had a number of meetings at the Hilton (AKA Wyndham, AKA Lowes) Anatole.  With the number of rooms and amount of meeting space, it's hard to miss.  

My first experience there was for a national sales meeting.  I was surprised at the amount of space contained in both the Tower and the Atrium.  All of the business was held at the hotel, including meetings, meals, and receptions.  I'd say that most of my better hotel experiences in Dallas have been at the Anatole.

Recently, Dallas has seen a rise in the number of "Boutique" and upscale hotels in the area.  I'd have to include Hotel Za Za, The W, and even The Belmont in that mix.  The great thing about these hotels is that they provide locals with an alternative destination even if you are not planning to stay overnight.

In most cases, there is an opportunity to find decent rooms at a reasonable price.  Some argue that Dallas has too many available rooms.  I look at it as having options.
