Hotel History

Originally opened in 1969, The Fairmont Dallas overnight became the luxury destination in what many considered the country's most exciting and dynamic city.  The hotel was a dramatic addition to the Dallas Skyline and was dubbed the city's finest hotel. 

Often called "the Arts District Hotel," The Fairmont Dallas remains at the center of Dallas' many unique attractions including The Dallas Museum of Art, the I.M. Pei-designed Meyerson Symphony Hall, the Dallas World Aquarium, the West End Historic District, the Nasher Sculpture Center and American Airlines Center (home of the Dallas Stars and Dallas Mavericks), all located within blocks of the hotel and Arts District Theatre are all located within three blocks of the hotel.

Entertainment is an integral part of the Fairmont Hotels & Resorts tradition. Since its inception, The Fairmont Dallas has hosted many of the cities most important social, charitable, civic and business events during its nearly forty year history and the famed Venetian Room has showcased many of the world's most beloved entertainers.
