• You could also stay downtown at the Statler Hilton, Adolphus or the Joule Hotel but I find downtown a grungy and too crunchy (dirty, panhandlers) to relax when you walk around. 
• If you want something more low key, you can check out the http://www.belmontdallas.com which is slightly removed from the big city, with great views of the skyline, and across the street from some really cool spots:
  • https://sylvanthirty.com is across the street with coffee, wine bar, restaurants, etc.
