Visiting Dallas for Pride, a weekend on the Strip, or just a quick getaway? Where you sleep matters almost as much as where you go out. These hotels put you within walking distance — or a very short ride — of the best queer nightlife in Texas.
The Warwick Melrose Dallas
The Melrose sits right on Oak Lawn Avenue, a five-minute walk from the heart of Cedar Springs. It is a historic property with a cocktail bar that locals actually drink at — always a good sign. The Landmark Restaurant inside is a quiet gem for a pre-going-out dinner.
Hotel ZaZa Dallas
ZaZa is the boutique pick. Each room is individually designed, the pool scene is immaculate, and it is close enough to Uptown and Cedar Springs to split your evenings between neighborhoods. The concept suites are worth the upgrade if you are celebrating something.
Hilton Garden Inn Dallas/Oak Lawn
The practical choice. Clean, reliable, and right on Oak Lawn Ave. You are a short walk from Round-Up Saloon and everything on the Strip. The price point makes it the go-to for Pride weekend groups booking multiple rooms.
