ROMANCE in DALLAS
 

Please advise me on the most ROMANTIC hotel, restaurant and piano bar for three nights in Dallas.Expensive is ok , ROMANCE A MUST!

The Melrose Hotel and its Library Bar are very nice. Can't go wrong there! Ditto for the Mansion on Turtle Creek a few blocks down the road...

The Melrose Hotel (on corner Oak Lawn/Cedar Springs) is quite nice. And if I may admit I've had a couple 'matinee's' @ the Melrose (dating a guy who lives in Houston & flys up to Dallas for business). <BR>The Melrose has a piano bar (that's the "Library"). I've not eaten in the hotel's restaurant although it's supposed to be quite good. Would suggest you head down the road a few blocks to the Mansion on Turtle Creek for dinner --- OR if you want something more casual, yet very tasty I'd suggest a Mexican restaurant called Nuovo Leon (within walking distance of Melrose, on corner of Oak Lawn/Hall Sts). <BR> <BR>If money is no object, then you may consider staying at the Mansion --- they also have a piano bar, but I found their bar a bit too snooty for may tastes (okay, okay, I realize I'm talking about a city that takes pride in putting on airs.) <BR> <BR>Another good hotel option is the Crescent. It's located in a high-end retail/office development on the north end of downtown Dallas. Good restaurant options close by.

The same company that owns the Crescent Court and Mansion has an European style small hotel called St. Germain near the Crescent Court. I don't think it has a piano bar but is close enough to the Crescent to walk over. It looks nice from the outside and most of their hotels are first-class.
