If you're visiting Dallas to take advantage of TPC Las Colinas, there is no shortage of luxury hotels where you can rest between rounds. The Hotel Anatole, among the most well-known hotels in the region, is in north Dallas, convenient to suburban golf courses. In addition, many major high-end hotel chains, including the Fairmont and Ritz-Carlton, have Dallas metro locations.
Hotel Anatole
Made famous in part by the Bush family and other politicians, the Hotel Anatole is what you might expect from a luxury Dallas hotel--it's HUGE. There are more than 1,500 guest rooms in this property, which specializes in conventions. Guest rooms are well-appointed, comfortable, large and designed with the business traveler in mind. But it's the campus the hotel created on its grounds that draws guests. Besides the seven restaurants and luxury spa, there is a sculpture garden, three pools and myriad fitness options, including basketball, tennis and squash courts, a walking track and extensive fitness room. Rates begin at $189 (lower prices available with non-refundable deposit).

Ritz-Carlton Dallas
The only Ritz-Carlton location in Texas, this downtown property is in the heart of the Uptown area, walking distance to neighborhood restaurants and services. You'll find state-of-the-art technology throughout the property. The hotel itself is steeped in luxury, from the fluffy white robes in your room to the swanky spa, which even has couples packages. Besides the usual treatments, the spa has hydrotherapy pools and specially designed skin-care treatment rooms. The pool area is a true oasis in the middle of an urban setting. Rates begin around $300 (2009).

Fairmont
A West End fixture since 1969, the Dallas Fairmont is impressive from the moment you walk into the marble-columned lobby. The hotel has all of the standard Fairmont amenities, including a luxury spa, excellent service and contemporary guest rooms. The hotel was redecorated in 2007, and among the little luxuries in your room, you'll find a soft throw quilt to cover up on the sofa or comfy chair. The four-star Pyramid Restaurant and Bar is one of the major dining destinations in Dallas and has a chef's tasting room. Rates begin at $206 for AAA members (lower prices available with non-refundable deposit).
