Mansion on Turtle Creek
Old-money Southern estate with impeccable European bones. Think dark oak paneling, cantilevered staircases, ornamental ceilings by Italian artist Giovanni Primo Casci — it feels like a family home, one where the family just happened to be very, very wealthy. Zero pretension from the staff, but nothing is casual here.
The Mansion Bar has live music Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings — it draws both hotel guests and local regulars
Why It Matters
This is the property that launched the entire Rosewood Hotels brand. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Tennessee Williams were among early guests at the original estate. The Mansion Restaurant opened to national acclaim in 1980 and remains one of Dallas's most celebrated dining destinations. Rooms start at 450 sq ft, every one with a French-door balcony — generous by any city standard.
The Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek is, at its core, a 1925 Italian Renaissance manor that somehow became a hotel. Built for cotton magnate Sheppard King on a terraced 4.63-acre hillside in Uptown Dallas, it opened as a restaurant in 1980 and added 142 rooms in 1981. Locals simply call it The Mansion — and they mean it as the highest possible compliment. Designer Thomas Pheasant's interiors layer damask textiles, custom millwork, and hand-carved fireplaces over original stained-glass windows and marble floors. This is where the Rosewood Hotels story actually began.
Where You'll Stay

Deluxe / Premier Room
The base room at The Mansion is still 450 sq ft — spacious by any city standard. King or queen bed, a sitting area, French doors opening onto a petite balcony, Nespresso machine, private bar, and a bathroom with Waterworks fixtures. Thomas Pheasant's residential interiors mean the space feels like a proper room, not a hotel box.
