Have you heard the saying, "Everything is bigger in Texas"?

The Hilton Anatole Dallas embodies this saying in hotel form.

More than just a place to sleep, this hotel is like a massive 'mini city' and boasts the largest size in Dallas based on the number of rooms.

Hilton Anatole Dallas has a whopping 1,606 rooms. It is located right next to the Dallas Market Center.

This hotel is a favorite among participants of trade shows and large conventions that attract buyers from around the world.

Thanks to its vast event space of over 70,000 square feet, it is often chosen as a venue for large conferences and corporate events, as well as significant gatherings and banquets for the Dallas Korean community.

One of the most famous hotel pools for Dallas families is the JadeWaters at Hilton Anatole.

This pool is not just a hotel pool; it is more like a small water park. It is set within a 7-acre sculpture garden on the hotel grounds, covering about 3 acres, and features a 7,000 square foot beach entry pool, a 630-foot lazy river, two 180-foot water slides, and a children's splash zone.

Especially during the Texas summer, the lazy river is the most popular attraction. Guests can float along the waterway, allowing both kids and adults to enjoy a resort-like atmosphere. The water slides are faster than expected, making them particularly popular with children over elementary school age.

For families with young children, there is also a kids' splash zone and shallow play area. Designed so parents can keep an eye on their kids, it receives good reviews from family travelers. The pool area offers cabana rental services, a pool bar, and the JadeWaters Grill for light meals.

Some areas operate seasonally, but the indoor pool and leisure pool are available year-round. Among Dallas residents, it is often referred to as "a water park in the city that eliminates the need to travel to Houston or Hill Country resorts." In fact, during certain periods, it can be accessed through a day pass (ResortPass), making it a popular spot for local families on summer weekends.

The true charm of this hotel is that getting lost inside is a delightful experience.

• A walking museum: Hundreds of rare artworks and sculptures are displayed throughout the lobby and hallways, providing visual enjoyment without needing to visit an art gallery.

• An oasis in the city: With both indoor and outdoor pools, the premium water park 'JadeWaters' opens in the summer, becoming a paradise for family travelers.

• Perfect relaxation: With a world-class 'Verandah Spa,' tennis courts, and jogging paths, it is also suitable for wellness travel.

Room Rates

The rates at Hilton Anatole fluctuate significantly based on the season, day of the week, and events at the nearby market center.

• Off-peak & weekends (recommended for leisure travelers): On weekends without major conventions or during off-peak times, you can book a standard king or queen room for about $180 to $230 per night. This is a great value for the facilities!

• Peak season & convention periods: When market center exhibitions or large conferences coincide, rates can jump to $300 to $500 or more.

• Insider tip: Booking through the official website or app allows you to earn Hilton Honors points, and a resort fee of about $32 is charged separately, so keep that in mind when budgeting!
