    The best hotel spas in Dallas to relax and retreat

    Connie Dufner

    Whether you live in Dallas or you're just passing through, you need a place where you can escape the hustle and bustle. Luckily, Dallas hotels capably serve the relaxation needs of locals and travelers alike with spa retreats that can chase your cares away — at least for one day.

    From urban cool to subterranean chic, these are the best hotel spas in Dallas. Book now to forever hold your peace.

    Best Overall Experience: ESPA at The Joule
    From the tea and warm towel before descending to the treatment areas to the divine five-stop water therapies, ESPA has changed the way pampering is done in Dallas. For starters, instead of booking a specific treatment, guests can reserve ESPA Time, which is two, three or four hours with a therapist who tends to your every relaxation need. The spa is the U.S. flagship, with many products for sale that are not available elsewhere in the country. Make a day of it by booking a yoga or core fitness class in the new Vital studio, and leave time for all the hydration options. Have somewhere amazing to go after the spa? Complimentary blowouts are available on the weekends.

    Best Spa and Snack: The Spa at the Crescent
    This longtime favorite inside the Rosewood Crescent Hotel always delivers excellent treatments, and thanks to its Spa D-Lite menu, comprising an assortment of 25-minute services, you can still squeeze in some relaxation even if time isn't on your side. Better still, you can dine in your robe — pre-treatment or post — at the spa cafe, which offers foodie-friendly fresh-pressed juices and smoothies, breakfast, snacks, salads and sandwiches. Indulge guilt-free, because the calorie counts are listed on the menu.

    Best New York Import: Bliss Dallas at W Dallas Victory
    Best known for its cheeky brand persona, Bliss, on the 16th floor of the recently renovated W hotel, is a fun stop for spa treatments should work or leisure take you to Victory Park. Try the new "Heel-leljujah" ultimate pedicure or the popular "Youth as We Know It" facial in a new nighttime treatment. The Dallas outpost also has the famous brownie buffet and a movie-while-you-manicure station. A full product line means you can take the spa home with you, wherever that may be.

    Best Fitness Infusion: Exhale at Highlands Dallas (formerly Hotel Palomar)
    It's hard to tell what Exhale fans love more — the Zen-inducing face and body treatments or the invigorating Core Fusion and yoga classes held in pretty, light-filled studios. For travelers who cannot skip a workout, Exhale meets their relaxation and exercise needs. For locals, there are spa and class memberships available, so when you fall in love with the place — and you will — it's easy to maintain your regimen and take advantage of poolside access and member discounts.

    Best Outer-Limits Respite: The Spa & Salon at Four Seasons
    The elegant relaxation lounge, with its cold plunge pool and hot tub, is so addicting you may be tempted to miss your service. But you'll be glad you made time for body treatments augmented by aromatherapy, hot stones and Vichy showers, for starters. Finish off the day with the Change of Season mani-pedi, during which you can enjoy a cocktail created by the nail technician. Men also get the star treatment here, with a long list of services such as the Old-fashioned Cowboy Soak replete with Shiner Bock beer. The aromatherapy oils soothe sore muscles — most likely incurred on the golf course.

    Best Mani-Pedi With a View: Mokara Spa and Salon at Omni Dallas
    Due to its proximity to the convention center, Omni Dallas is an obvious choice for conventioneers, who deserve a break from all that business. Thankfully, Mokara does the trick. We suggest unwinding with a signature massage complete with an application of heat-activated whipped shea butter balm. The spa also features deluxe couples' rooms, cozy relaxation area with see-through fireplace and a nail salon with sweeping views of the Dallas skyline. You've never had a mani-pedi like this before.

    Best Uptown Luxury: The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Dallas
    We can't get enough of the silken robes, "Experience" shower and luxe dressing rooms — and that's even before you step foot into the treatment hall for an invigorating Dean's Margarita Salt Glow or signature Texas Eight Hands Massage. For those harried weekdays, the spa offers mini escapes at special prices, so there's no reason not to have some Ritz in your day. Couples can luxuriate together in one of two VIP suites with soaking tubs.

    Best Little Gem in a Big Jewel Box: VSPA at the Hilton Anatole
    Getting to VSPA is a workout in itself, as you wind through the expansive hotel and grounds to the Veranda Club. Then it's up the stairs and — voila! — serenity beckons with a foot bath and a few tea-sipping moments before your treatment. Prices here are more reasonable than some of the other swanky spas, which our pocketbooks appreciate. Complimentary access to the newly remodeled fitness center is an amenity, so plan accordingly.

    Best Sexy Hideaway: ZaSpa at Hotel ZaZa
    Hotel ZaZa may be known for its singles-friendly Dragonfly and Urban Oasis, but the hideaway spa on the second floor is the perfect antidote to that see-and-be-seen life. There's plenty to keep you in the treatment room, including six facials, five massages, body scrubs and wraps, and body contouring service. (Not surprisingly, "The Morning After" treatment helps relieve the symptoms of too much partying the night before.) If you feel too mellow to drive home, you could always see if one of the Magnificent Seven suites is available. Because you deserve it.

    Grand Hyatt hotel at DFW Airport to deploy million-dollar renovation

    Grand Hyatt DFW hotel at DFW Airport

    DFW Airport is undergoing updates and now the remodeling bug has bitten the on-site hotel: Grand Hyatt DFW Airport, located inside Terminal D, is deploying a renovation of the property beginning in July.

    It'll be a multi-phased renovation that includes updates to guestrooms and suites, improvements to event spaces, enhancements to the restaurants and bars, plus re-envisioned lobby, guest lounges, and corridors throughout — anticipated to be completed by the end of 2025.

    In a statement, Grand Hyatt DFW Airport general manager Jeff Babcock notes that the hotel is celebrating a key anniversary.

    “We are thrilled to announce Grand Hyatt DFW will undergo a transformation to provide international and domestic travelers and local residents with new, more refined accommodations, enhanced culinary experiences, and modernized conference and event spaces for meetings and groups,” Babcock says. “In honor of our 20th year, the renovation will reinforce the hotel’s legacy as the premier hotel and event center supporting the international airport and connecting travelers to the Dallas Fort Worth culture and community.”

    The renovation at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport marks its biggest investment since it first opened in 1974. The plan, called DFW Forward, will invest $9 billion in capital improvements to transform terminals, increase the number of gates, enhance the airfield, and improve roadways. Highlights include the addition of a new Terminal F south of Terminal D, with room for up to 24 gates; rebuilding Terminal C; more gates for Terminal A and C; and a rebuilding of Terminal C's parking garage.

    “The remodeled Grand Hyatt – already known as one of the premier airport hotel experiences – will complement the ongoing enhancements and expansions across the airport as we create a smooth and enjoyable experience for our guests,” says DFW CEO Sean Donohue in a statement.

    Rooms
    Updates include:

    • An increase in the number of guestrooms and suites from 298 to 315
    • A new aeronautical design complemented by the style of a Texas landscape featuring local woods like Red River Pecan and Yellow Pine, with by a color palette that includes subdued greens and shades of natural blues
    • Stitched leather headboards and integrated lighting on the beds
    • Large HD flat screen televisions and new charging ports
    • Eco-friendly occupancy thermostats, enhanced lighting controls, and automatic blackout sheers and shades
    • Expansive closets and modern bathrooms with enlarged vanities, showers, and tubs

    Restaurants and lounges
    Food: A reimagined Grand Met restaurant and lounge will showcase a new style in dining at the airport, and its refreshed seasonal menus will offer new culinary experiences celebrating artisanal traditions combined with modern upscale dining. Keeping with the elegance of a jet-set lifestyle, the updated menu will serve international and modern cuisine with fresh ingredients sourced locally.

    Atmosphere: Seating capacity at the restaurant and the lounge bar will be increased with modernized tables and chair. Newly designed private and semiprivate dining rooms will be available for large and small parties. An acoustically-designed ceiling will keep conversations private.

    Meetings and events
    With more than 20,000 square feet of meeting and event space, including a 6,600 square foot ballroom, the final phase will unveil a new a top-floor executive boardroom, and a one-of a-kind indoor/outdoor rooftop event space overlooking the airport runways.

    The renovation will include state-of-the-art technical facilities for corporate meetings and gatherings, plus in-house audiovisual support for all types of events, with a redesign that incorporates the style of Texas and the beauty of the West.

    Lobby, corridors, and pool
    Steps away from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)’s checkpoint in Terminal D, the newly envisioned hotel lobby will include marble tile flooring, specially-designed ceiling finishes, enhanced accent lighting, wood paneling, and artwork created by local.

    New corridors will connect the hotel to the airport. The hallways will feature a plush carpet with a pattern inspired by the airport’s design and airline flight movements, accented with blues and browns.

    A newly transformed fitness center with Pelotons bicycles will be located on the first floor, while an outdoor rooftop pool will overlook the runways.

    Each Grand Hyatt hotel is uniquely designed to be a captivating destination within a destination, boasting restaurants, spas, fitness centers, and business and meeting facilities.
