DALLAS — Kimpton’s Hotel Palomar Dallas has been named to National Geographic Traveler magazine’s second annual "Stay List," featuring "129 Hotels We Love." The new list debuts in the April 2009 issue and includes properties located in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Hotel Palomar Dallas is one of only three Texas hotels featured.

“We are honored to be a part of this exclusive list, showcasing the truly unique qualities of our hotel,” explained Andrew Wright, general manager of Hotel Palomar Dallas. “Our boutique hotel embodies both the history as well as the modern, stylish vibe of the surrounding Dallas community. Our featured amenities such as eco and pet-friendly offerings, daily wine hour and in-room pet goldfish are among the personal touches that make each guest’s stay special.”

Just in time for spring travelers or “staycationers” looking to experience Hotel Palomar Dallas for themselves, the hotel is offering an additional value with the choice of Continental Breakfast or Cocktails for just $1 more than the Best Available Rate. The offer starts April 15, 2009, (Rate code: DOLLAR) at Hotel Palomar Dallas.

"The hotels on our Stay List 2009 don't just reflect their surroundings-they help define them," says National Geographic Traveler Senior Editor Sheila Feldman Buckmaster. "What they all have in common is a transcendent vision that goes beyond traditional hotel-keeping. This mindset is what gives these hotels their sense of place. Make no mistake: you'll sense the vibe at once. And after your stay, you'll leave with the kind of insight only soulful places can provide."

According to National Geographic Traveler, “Stay List” hotel selections were made by tapping into the collected experiences of veteran journalists, inveterate road warriors, and local experts. Nominations were based on key criteria: engagement with the local community, sustainable practices that respect the region, and whether the hotel truly captures the spirit of its setting. Further research and detailed questionnaires winnowed submissions down to this sweet list of 129 hotels.

"engagement with the local community"

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and assume that they are referring to the swimming pool they share with the residents of the lofts.

Hate all you like fellas but this is one of the more fun spa weekends my daughter and I have had. Cool rooms, beautiful pool area, great service from every staff member we came into contact with. Plus the place was really hoppin the weekend we were there. Highly recommended.

The bar sucks. The don't know how to make a decent Manhattan.

And it ain't the barkeeper's fault. The bar isn't appropriately stock with a good selection of vermouths (for mixing).
