Sheraton Dallas Hotel by the Galleria

Given its location near a major freeway and numerous corporate buildings, this Sheraton stays busy with business travelers during the week and leisure travelers on weekends who book rooms to enjoy the Dallas Galleria. Airline crews also frequent this casual and comfortable hotel. The lobby is bright and contemporary, with white walls and floor tiles, distinctive furniture, and tasteful accents of natural wood columns and paneling. The spacious area is set with several living room-like sitting clusters that are bordered by partitions and sectional sofas. A nearby business center has several computer stations and a table for small meetings. The Red Eye Restaurant also features a crisp and clean design with white floors and chairs with chocolate brown accents, light wood ceiling panels, and a long, black granite-topped bar framed by natural wood.

This hotel is located near the intersection of the Dallas Parkway and Interstate 635/LBJ Freeway, about an 18-minute drive north of downtown Dallas. It's less than one mile -- a three-minute drive or shuttle ride -- to the Dallas Galleria and its 400 shops and restaurants. It's possible to walk to the Galleria on sidewalks in about 10 minutes, but the walk is mostly in a business district that empties out at night. Attractions downtown, like the American Airlines Center and Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center, can be reached in about 20 to 25 minutes of driving, depending on traffic. The Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas is a 20-minute drive. Southern Methodist University is approximately 15 to 20 minutes by car, as are the University of Texas at Dallas and University of Dallas. Brookhaven College is a seven-minute drive. Dallas Love Field Airport is 20 to 25 minutes away by car, and
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is 25 to 30 minutes by car. AT&T Stadium and Six Flags Arlington are 30 to 40 minutes away by car. Many restaurants, other hotels, and retail shops are within a brief drive.
