Les meilleurs hôtels à Dallas

Dallas wows you with its larger-than-life icons the Cowboys, the downtown skyline, the State Fair of Texas, the eponymous TV series of the '80s and then surprises you with its cultural revelations. The Dallas Museum of Art, Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth ("The Modern"), and Nasher Sculpture Center showcase some of the city's world-class art and sculpture collections. The Dallas Arboretum is a serene green haven among the skyscrapers. Preservation Dallas is extremely active in saving and restoring city landmarks. It's focused many efforts recently within Fair Park and in the Tenth Street Historic District. Not all of Dallas' cultural offerings are so specialized, though. Fun all-ages attractions include the Dallas World Aquarium, Southfork Ranch (where the TV show Dallas was filmed), and Age of Steam Railroad Museum. If you want cowboys, hit the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District, which has the world's biggest honky-tonk, a daily cattle drive, and a rodeo every Friday and Saturday night. For pure excitement, check out a Mavericks home game at American Airlines Center.
From the little settlement that sprouted beside the Trinity River just after Texas declared itself an independent republic, Dallas has expanded into today’s Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex, home to a quarter of all Texans. The region has a strong concentration of southern Protestantism, but sports are a second religion here, with big football, baseball and basketball teams. Shopping ranks next among popular pastimes: Dallas boasts the highest mall-per-capita ratio in the country. More than just business, the steel-and-glass downtown hosts the Dallas Museum of Art, The Dallas World Aquarium and the renovated warehouses of the historic West End. Just east, trendy Deep Ellum is Dallas’ center for galleries, live music and hip restaurants.
