The Fairmont Dallas

Events take on a regal air at The Fairmont Dallas, where the meeting rooms host everything from seminars for 20 to lavish spreads for 2,000. Some of the city's most prestigious events gather in the Regency and International ballrooms and the equally sophisticated, more intimate Venetian Room. All adapt for multiple configurations and provide the latest in lighting, sound, and audiovisual capability.

The 545 guest rooms and suites echo the meeting rooms' classic styling in earth and jewel tones of claret and hunter green. All come with highdef TVs, work desks, and wireless Internet access, while Deluxe Rooms and Suites add MP3 docking stations. While three floors of Fairmont Gold accommodations cater to planners' top executives and VIPs, the hotel's fitness center, outdoor pool, and in-room spa treatments keep everyone feeling their best.

Another major attraction, the AAA four-diamond Pyramid Restaurant and Bar, showcases American and Continental cuisine sourced locally—including the chef's own 3,000-square-foot rooftop herb and vegetable garden. Guests can dine in the main restaurant, a private dining room for up to 44 people, or the chef's tasting room for up to 16. They can also count on the lobby bar, a Starbucks, poolside snacks, and 24-hour room service. Post-meeting incentives include the city's best museums, Center for the Performing Arts, Dallas World Aquarium, and an endless array of trendy shops, restaurants, and nightspots—all just a short stroll away.
