| Dallas
Industrial-chic loft hotel with a serious local art focus. Think exposed brick, polished concrete, bold pops of color, and rotating works from Dallas-based artists. The vibe runs more creative social hub than stuffy corporate hotel.
The rooftop pool is exclusively for hotel guests — outside visitors can only access it on ticketed special event days.
Why It Matters
Featured in the Michelin Guide. One of the rare Dallas hotels that commits fully to a local-art identity — walls, rooms, and menus are all tied to Dallas artists and creative culture. The 4,500 sq ft rooftop with an infinity pool and skyline views in the Cedars district is hard to beat at this price point.
Canvas Hotel Dallas lives in a century-old red brick building in the Cedars district — a South Side neighborhood just a short hop from the Dallas Convention Center. The hotel debuted in January 2019 as a full rebrand of the former NYLO Dallas South Side, reimagined by boutique design firm Studio11 with pressed concrete floors, exposed brick, 10-to-15-foot ceilings, and local artwork on every wall. The rooftop infinity pool with its panoramic Downtown skyline view is the real draw here, paired with the Gallery Rooftop Lounge and Chef's Palette restaurant below.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
CANVAS Suite
420 square feet with a separate living area — the key upgrade from the Deluxe King. Good for anyone who wants a dedicated space to decompress or take a work call without sitting on the bed. Same loft-style character throughout.
King
DLUX Double Queen
Two queen beds plus a sleeper sofa and windows that face the Dallas skyline. At 500 square feet, it's the right call for a group trip or family stay. The skyline-facing windows are a genuine perk — morning light over downtown is worth waking up for.
Two QueensDLUX King
Same king bed setup, just 75 more square feet to stretch into. Good option if you plan to spend more time in the room — the extra space makes a difference. Same industrial-loft aesthetic with local artwork accents.
King
Lifestyle Suite
The biggest room in the house at 640 square feet. Two queen beds plus a sleeper sofa means you can actually fit a full group in here comfortably. One bathroom, so work out the logistics before everyone shows up. Great for a bachelorette group, family trip, or extended stay.

KingLoft King Room
The entry point, and honestly not a bad one. 350 square feet with 10-foot ceilings that make it feel bigger than the numbers suggest. Polished concrete floors, exposed brick, large windows, and local artwork on the walls. Solid for a solo traveler or couple who will actually spend time exploring the city.
