Housed in a refurbished brick building in a trendy neighborhood, the four-pearl Canvas Hotel Dallas is the epitome of industrial chic. Rooms are large and loft-like, with excellent amenities like capsule coffeemakers among the exposed brick and pipes. The rooftop SODA bar and pool have impressive views of the city and is a popular spot for locals. As such, it can get noisy, especially on the weekends. It’s close to downtown, with a shuttle that will drop guests off anywhere within three miles of the hotel. Travelers looking for an equally chic property with less of a party atmosphere should try The Hotel Lumen, which -- unlike the Canvas Hotel Dallas -- also has a gym.

Scene
Fun, industrial-chic style with swanky accents
The hotel has a funky, industrial-chic style with a raw feel. The lobby and common spaces have exposed brick and pipes and concrete floors along with fun, modern decor. The lobby is filled with plush purple Chesterfield sofas and armchairs upholstered in dark velvet, while a crystal chandelier towers over a round velvet banquette, right by a piano covered in colorful graffiti. The adjoining Terrace Bistro continues the style of the lobby with a slight Victorian steampunk vibe. The rooftop SODA bar has a similar industrial look, and the adjacent infinity pool, while small, provides a stunning view of the Dallas skyline. Most of the guests are couples and groups of friends.
Location
In a trendy neighborhood south of downtown
The Canvas Hotel Dallas is located on the south side of downtown Dallas, in an up-and-coming former industrial area filled with trendy bars, restaurants, and music venues. The hotel offers a free shuttle within a three-mile radius and it’s fairly close to attractions, including the Dallas Arts District, the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, and the Dallas World Aquarium, which are all around a five-minute drive, or a 30-minute walk, from the hotel. It’s also convenient to Dallas Union Station, which is a four-minute drive or a 20-minute walk. It’s a 25-minute drive to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. Expect to pay for parking.
Rooms
Large and loft-like with chic industrial decor and thin walls
The 76 rooms have a shabby chic, industrial look, with exposed brick and pipes and polished concrete floors. Colorful paintings dot the walls and big, comfortable beds are accented by soft throws draped artfully over edge of the mattress. Amenities include flat-screen TVs, Keurig coffeemakers, and hairdryers. Wi-Fi is free. Bathrooms have cylindrical vessel sinks and open showers. Early birds and light sleepers beware: music and noise from the rooftop bar can be heard on the upper floors and the walls are on the thin side.
Features
Trendy rooftop bar and infinity pool, restaurant, and meeting rooms
The rooftop SODA bar serves appetizers, salads, and sandwiches along with cocktails and the bar attracts a regular stream of locals along with hotel guests. The infinity-edge pool is popular for swimming and selfies with the city of Dallas in the background. The Terrace Bistro serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but has a limited menu. Two conference rooms with the same modern industrial style found elsewhere in the Canvas Hotel Dallas are available, and the rooftop can be rented out for events. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel.
