Oyster Review Summary
Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators.
Pros
- In the center of downtown, within walking distance to many attractions
- Trendy rooms with flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi
- Cool rooftop infinity pool that juts out over Main Street
- Funky, hip decor and an extensive fine art collection
- A popular, late-night lounge
- Historic 1920s Neo-Gothic building
- Free car service within a 5-mile radius
- 24-hour room service
Cons
- Noise from the downstairs lounge at night
- No spa (though in-room treatments are available)
Bottom Line
The Joule is one of the coolest -- and most luxurious -- hotels in Downtown Dallas. It's located in a historic building dating back to the 1920s, and its decor is a mix of old and new -- funky furniture and patterned rugs are juxtaposed against dark wood paneling and antique touches in the lobby (including two giant cogged wheels), and the hotel has an extensive art collection, including works by Andy Warhol. There is a popular lounge downstairs and the bathroom walls are made of frosted glass (though a curtain can be pulled across), so this hotel may not be the best pick for families, but all can enjoy the cantilevered pool which juts out over Main Street.
