Experience European Charm and Sophistication For Your Dallas Wedding At The Adolphus Hotel

It’s difficult not to feel like you’ve stepped back into another era when you enter Dallas’ Adolphus Hotel. It’s grandeur and sophisticated allure is unlike many of the newer hotels and Dallas wedding reception venues.

I can remember being a young girl and my Mother would take me shopping at Downtown Dallas’ Neiman Marcus, but the first thing we did was go to The Adolphus Hotel, where I remember thinking, if I can spend one night here, I would be the Fairy Princess! Well I’m not the fairy princess, but I do have many wonderful memories dining at the world-renown French Room and staying in one of their many grand rooms.

Just recently, I had the pleasure of meeting the chef – a true delight. Each dish is prepared to perfection. I could not believe it when I read about it being the only restaurant in Texas to have earned the highest honor the hospitality industry can bestow – the prestigious AAA Five Diamond Award – for an unprecedented 22 consecutive years.

The hotel’s ballrooms are fit for a Queen, and many, many brides choose The Adolphus Hotel for its history and for its old-world (Texas-size) hospitality.

We hope you’ll enjoy the photos of the hotel and all the special features that make it a hotel you’ll want to choose for your wedding reception.
