    Seven lodging properties in Dallas-Fort Worth have earned spots on Travel + Leisure’s new lists of the best hotels and resorts.

    Hotel Drover, an Autograph Collection property in Fort Worth, tops Travel + Leisure’s list of the five best hotels in DFW for 2022, while Irving’s Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Las Colinas and Grapevine’s Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center earn spots on the list of the 10 best resorts in Texas.

    The 200-room Hotel Drover opened in the spring of 2021 as a luxe Western retreat in the Fort Worth Stockyards.

    Among the property’s standout features are the guestrooms. Each one includes a locally curated minibar, Los Poblanos bath products, King Ranch leather items, and Rios Interiors furniture made at the Stockyards.

    Another highlight: The Hotel Drover includes two high-end boutiques: a Lucchese Custom Collection boot shop and a Wide Brim hat shop.

    The Hotel Drover “was carefully curated with the local community in mind so that travelers receive an authentic experience deeply woven in the Texas culture, and we are incredibly grateful to be the destination of choice for those visiting the Dallas-Fort Worth area,” Craig Cavileer, managing partner of Stockyards Heritage Development (which owns the hotel) says in a July 12 release about the ranking.

    Here’s Travel + Leisure’s list of the top five hotels in DFW:

    1. Hotel Drover, Fort Worth
    2. Thompson Dallas
    3. Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek, Dallas
    4. The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas
    5. The Ashton, Fort Worth

    Two other DFW properties also earned accolades from Travel + Leisure: The Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Las Colinas ranks sixth among the top 10 resorts in Texas, and the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center appears at No. 9.

    First on the list is The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa in — you guessed it — Houston.

    Dallas-area hotels rack up top honors in 2026 U.S. News & Forbes lists

    Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek has kept its elite status as the best resort in Texas for 2026.

    More than a dozen Dallas-Fort Worth hotels and resorts have earned new accolades in U.S. News and World Report's prestigious list of the best Texas hotels in 2026, and five Dallas properties earned four- or five-star ratings in Forbes Travel Guide's 2026 Star Awards.

    Dallas' grand Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek topped the list as the No. 1 best Texas resort for a second consecutive year, and it appeared as the 7th best hotel in Texas. The Ritz-Carlton Dallas was honored as the No. 3 best Texas hotel, and it additionally ranked No. 85 in U.S. News' separate ranking of the best hotel in the U.S. for 2026.

    The publication's Best Hotels rankings annually examine over 31,000 hotels and resorts across more than 400 destinations in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Bermuda, and Europe to "help travelers find the hotel that suits their needs." Hotels are ranked based on industry awards, star ratings, and online guest reviews.

    Two more Dallas-area hotels ranked among the top 10 best hotels in the state: The Joule (No. 6) in downtown Dallas and the Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa (No. 9).

    Other Dallas-Fort Worth hotels that made it among U.S. News' top 50 best hotels in Texas include:

    • No. 11 – The Adolphus, Autograph Collection, Dallas
    • No. 18 – Bowie House, Auberge Collection, Fort Worth
    • No. 20 – The Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas, Irving
    • No. 21 – Hall Arts Hotel Dallas, Curio Collection by Hilton
    • No. 24 – Hotel Crescent Court, Dallas
    • No. 29 – Warwick Melrose - Dallas
    • No. 34 – Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center, Grapevine
    • No. 35 – Hilton Anatole, Dallas
    • No. 36 – Hotel Drover, Autograph Collection, Fort Worth
    • No. 38 – The Crescent Hotel, Fort Worth
    • No. 40 – The Westin Dallas Southlake
    • No. 41 – OmniDallas Hotel, Dallas
    • No. 50 – Delta Hotels by Marriott Dallas Southlake

    Dallas hotels recognized in Forbes Travel Guide's 2026 Star Awards
    Forbes Travel Guide recognized 25 Texas properties in its 2026 Star Awards rankings, with seven Dallas-area restaurants, hotels, and spas earning either four- or five-star ratings.

    To determine the ratings, anonymous inspectors visit every hotel, restaurant, spa, and cruise ship in person, visiting as a typical guest for a minimum of two nights to review the quality and condition of each property and its overall guest experience. According to the rankings' methodology, inspectors pay their own way and no one can buy a rating.

    The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas was the only Dallas property to earn a prestigious five-star rating. Houston's opulent Post Oak Hotel and its hotel spa were the remaining Texas properties to be awarded five-star ratings for 2026. The Post Oak Hotel has been awarded five stars for six consecutive years, and it also maintained its elite status as Texas’ only double five-star rated hotel and spa, according to a press release.

    These are all of the Dallas properties that made the 2026 list, by category:

    Restaurants:

    • Fearing's Restaurant: 4-star
    • The Mansion Restaurant: 4-star

    Hotels:

    • The Ritz-Carlton Dallas: 5-star
    • The Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas: Recommended
    • Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek: Recommended

    Spas:

    • The Ritz Carlton Spa: 4-star
    • The Spa at the Joule: 4-star

    Two Dallas properties are missing from the 2026 Star Awards, despite being highlighted in the 2025 awards: The Joule and Hall Arts Hotel. In January 2026, the Hall Arts Hotel joined Marriott Bonvoy’s Autograph Collection, which explains its absence from the 2026 rankings.
