With a premier address at the center of uptown Dallas, this Moulin-Rouge-meets-Chateau-Marmont-style hotel is as creative as they come. The batik-swathed white and red lobby sets the mood for the Hotel Zaza, whose sensual zest is evident in even the smallest of details. You have your choice of concept suites ranging from Japanese-influenced with supposedly haunted furniture to African-influenced with tribal art and a geographically inaccurate but eye-catching tiger print rug. Once you’re checked in, throw on your best duds and head to the Dragonfly restaurant and lounge. Enthusiastically described by Condé Nast Traveler as Dallas’ premier “see-and-be-seen bar,” a visit to the Dragonfly is a must. If it’s warm enough, top off the night with a dip in the hotel’s famed Urban Oasis pool or a treatment at the ZaSpa.
