Just 2 miles west of downtown, this stylish bungalow hotel makes a fabulously low-key antidote to Dallas' flashier digs. The whole structure is imbued with art moderne design – the 1940s’ take on art deco – and has plenty of soul. The garden rooms – with soaking tubs, Moroccan‑blue tile work, kilim rugs and some city views – are tops.
