We’re proud to announce that the next Dallas South “Get Into the City” event will be held at the Belmont Hotel in Dallas on Friday, May 8 starting at 7:00 p.m. If you missed the last Dallas South GITC, you don’t want to be caught slipping again next month.
The Belmont Motor Hotel was built in 1946 and is situated on a hill on the outskirts of West Dallas and just north of Oak Cliff. After years of decline, the hotel was restored to its original glory by local developer Monte Anderson in 2005.
My wife and I hit up the patio of the Belmont last summer, and the view of Downtown Dallas is unparalleled. The hilly terrain and Art Moderne design – with emphasis on horizontal lines, rounded corners and stucco facades- give the Belmont a California feel. BarBelmont and Cliff Cafe are a perfect compliment for folks looking for a great dinner or a place to hangout with friends.
Get Into The City is an event that introduces the Dallas South family to locations around town which may not currently be on their radar. Last month we kicked off the concept at Texas Caribbean Foods in the Old Sears Building (Southside on Lamar) and everyone kept asking when and where would the next one be.
We’re excited about showcasing this West Dallas asset that many folks drive by on I-30 everyday and don’t even know it exists. Sponsorship opportunities are available, so if you would like to showcase your company to the send me an email at shawn@dallassouthblog.com. Make sure to mark you calendars for May 8 and make plans to Get Into the City with Dallas South.
UPDATE: This Friday’s Get Into the City has been moved back to 8:00 p.m. That will give everyone a chance to get home for work and meet us out at the Belmont for a fun evening.
UPDATE 2: I’m proud to announce that Belmont Hotel will be holding a raffle at “Get Into the City” on Friday night. There will be three prizes awarded to members of the Dallas South family and other friends who attend:
* 2 Free Belmontinis - the hotel’s signature martini
* 2 Free Appetizers
* 1 Night Stay in a Garden Suite with a Downtown View
