Sheraton Dallas Hotel, Modernist hotel in downtown Dallas, United States
The Sheraton Dallas Hotel is a skyscraper in downtown Dallas offering more than 1,800 rooms with views of the city skyline. The building features extensive meeting spaces and direct connection to the public transit system.
The Southland Center complex, designed by Welton Becket & Associates for Southland Life Insurance, broke ground in 1955 and was compared to Rockefeller Center as Dallas's first mixed-use project with hotel and offices. The 42-story Southland Life Building and the 28-story Sheraton-Dallas Hotel opened in 1958; Johnny Weissmuller and June Lockhart appeared at the 1959 dedication. The Southland Life Building was Dallas's tallest from 1959 to 1964. After office tenants left in 1988, HBE Corp. bought the complex in 1996 and converted all three towers into the 1,844-room Adam's Mark Dallas, opened in October 1998.
The hotel has hosted pop culture conventions such as Project A-Kon and TwiCon. Its name traces back to the original Sheraton-Dallas Hotel of 1958, restored when Oxford Lodging Group rebranded the Adam's Mark in 2007. The Chaparral Club on the 37th floor was long downtown Dallas's most exclusive restaurant.
The hotel offers spacious event and meeting facilities across multiple levels with modern amenities. The location with direct access to public transit makes it easy to explore the city.
The complex's facade is clad in more than 1,000 spandrel panels of lightweight precast concrete faced with blue Italian glass mosaic tiles, painted gray during the conversion to a hotel. The three towers rest on a common base, and skybridges link the hotel to a convention building on the adjacent block.
