Denim and diamonds define the Dallas decor, skyline and attitude.  Rugged western virility coupled with cosmopolitan offerings create the city's truly Texan aura. Downtown is one of the most remarkable feats of sky-scraping architecture anywhere and a multitude of restaurants and shops thrive in the West End, a former warehouse district with several major cultural institutions.  A little further afield the Deep Ellum is the lively centre of the city's alternative arts and music scene. The Nasher Sculpture Centre, one-and-a-half miles from the hotel, is a gift to Dallas from philanthropist Raymond Nasher.  Visitors can view sculptures by Rodin, Picasso, Calder, Gauguin and others. The light-filled centre and spacious adjoining garden house 300 sculptures and include education and research facilities. The hotel lies in the heart of the Uptown Arts District, near the best the city has to offer, including the Dallas Museum of Art, Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Hall, the Majestic Theatre and American Airlines Sports Arena, home to the Dallas Stars and Dallas Mavericks.
