I was looking through digital photo albums and came across something I realized I hadn't written about. One of my favorite Dallas, TX recommendations too ;)
Before being a full time mom (actually even now I would and will still do the same thing-when time/schedules allow) my career was everything to me and with all my hard work I liked to splurge on myself. Ironically now with my kids my splurging moments are slightly different but that's neither here nor there, anyway! Squirrel moment I know...So after times or periods of hard work I liked to plan either staycations by trying out new places or I would splurge on myself for things I enjoyed and/or wanted. So when my career allowed me to work in the downtown Dallas area, I was able to expand my experiences (among other things...) and staycations in the downtown area were definitely more fun!
Whether for a staycation, visiting with family, visiting with a significant other, or perhaps even visiting for work purposes-The Joule in downtown Dallas, TX is a must stay. First off it's location is ideal for town cars, Ubers, Lyfts, or walking to nearby popular locations including the Arts District and the nearest DART track. The hotel itself has a beautiful setup inside. A clean modernized design, areas that will make you feel you're in a more contemporary hotel structure yet the outer facade reveals beautiful lines of the old Dallas feel. The hotel connects to a delicious bar and restaurant and the second main entrance leading to the back street. The hotel is located near some delicious restaurants and even in house or room service, the food won't disappoint. Their spa and fitness center are impressionable, I wouldn't necessarily say the best but it suits the needs if you are a spa goer or like to workout regardless of your time away from home. They are a pet friendly hotel and it's a high rise structured hotel. The bar and lounge with an age restriction after a certain time is at the high top bar that connects to the high rise swimming pool that extends over the street below so at the end of the pool edge you can literally see the street and cars below. This type of pool was long made before the one in Houston by the way :p
When I had my staycation for two nights and three days, I stayed in the Joule Suite (image below from the hotel website); a lovely layout with a separate living area and space, with a door separating the king size bed in an intimate and comfortable bedroom with one badass bathroom! The highlight and full enjoyment of that stay wasn't the trial of the hotel spa I had but more the complete enjoyment of the masterfully designed bathroom. There is a beautifully tiled and marble design for the bathroom but what was impressionable to me anyway was the in room spa package they provide to enjoy the high pressure jets in the jacuzzi style tub and I've never been one for long showers but holy cow! Their large walk in shower with a state of the art waterfall design top spray in addition to the extensive wall mounted sprays leaves nothing for one hell of an experience. The pressure almost perfect coming from all heads and nozzles, their shampoo and conditioners are airy and smell wonderful, then whether you're in the shower by yourself and enjoying it with someone, it leaves nothing to be desired for and is both relaxing and soothing in itself. Ending the bathroom experience with deliciously soft robes, making you feel at home and comfy so you don't even wanna bother with lounge wear or pajamas but simply put on your robe and plop on the bed! During my stay the hotel offers feather or memory foam pillows so of course I asked for the memory foam.
Now the picture at the very start of this post was for my 24th birthday with some girlfriends, sister, and a coworker (at that time). Due to the plans and events of the night for the celebration I had wanted to rent a room and since it was originally supposed to just be for my sister and I, I went with the simply Deluxe Room. So if you're on a budget the Deluxe Room is both affordable and still provides you with that pampering feel. Smaller footprint but the amenities from the hotel and the bathroom design is still there. The bathroom isn't obviously as large as the Joule Suite I mentioned earlier but thankfully they took care in the shower design so the experience of the shower is still awesome!
So the next time you plan a stay in Dallas check out this spot ;) It won't disappoint.
Sincerely,
A Distinct Woman
