Hotel Zaza

(Historic correction based on ZaZa reply): The Hotel ZaZa Dallas Uptown is one of several boutique hotels in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. It opened in 2002. Since the rooms are a little smaller than contemporary hotels, it seems like this is a throughly remodeled and decorated historic property. There are 17 "concept" suits or rooms with themes available in addition to standard rooms and bungalows. We were assigned the "out of Africa" room. While the room, and most importantly the bed, were comfortable, the decorations might scare small children at night. Given the whole "vibe" of the hotel we were not sure if it is geared more to business people rather than families. Since we were on a business trip, it was just fine for us. The staff was friendly and helpful. For example, it was a little difficult to initially find our room and the friendly staff took the initiative to help us when they saw we were lost. The various amenities are very nice. There are complimentary food and beverage items available throughout the day as well as standard hotel conveniences such as a gym and pool. The hotel is located in the arts district downtown. Although the downtown area as a whole has deteriorated over the years, this part of downtown is still pretty upscale and relatively safe. The hotel is within walking distance of several upscale restaurants, other nice hotels, and numerous businesses/office buildings. There are also several fast food and casual dining places within walking distance as well as a Whole Foods. There is also the Dragonfly restaurant in the hotel, which is more of an upscale restaurant. Room service is ordered by scanning the QR code on the menu in ur room and using the phone in your room to call it in.If on another business trip to the area, we would definitely stay here again. However, if put in another themed room, we would want to try something other than "out of Africa."

Great hotel and friendly people Great food and bar rooms are always fun and super clean

Oh boy, oh boy - we had such a nice stay at Hotel Zaza's Dallas location! What a treat!The (regular - superior king) room was large, comfortably appointed and so sensibly put together that it felt spacious even WITH all the seating (comfy sofa, two chairs, ottoman seat at a makeup desk and swivel desk chair at a roomy regular desk) they managed to pack into it. Just really well set up. All the staff (from the front desk to housekeeping to the servers in Dragonfly to the lady handing out free champagne) was friendly, but the valet guys are SO helpful and SO on-mission to make sure they help you in any possible way they can. What a friendly, welcoming bunch of men - I've never stayed anywhere that had a better bunch. While several different gents shuttled us around in the (gratis) hotel shuttles and gave us directions and recommendations (the valet staff are almost like concierges, frankly, on top of their other roles), Danny was a hero for us again and again, helping with so many different things. The hotel is quiet (except for that tap-dancing elephant that was in the room upstairs last night) and well insulated (street noise and airplane noise is greatly muffled and dies to just nothing in the wee hours) and we slept great in the comfy bed. The shower - my word - what a wonderful shower. Lots of air flowing through the guest room - the bathroom mirror defogs in mere moments after a luxuriously blasting hot shower. Good toiletries (Bigelow). Great coffee/tea stations in the mornings; cookies, Tootsie Roll pops, red hot candies and fruit chews floating around in the afternoons. Oh, and a free wine station (with bubbly!) in the afternoons. Everything I saw is clean and fresh/new looking. Plenty of public areas to sit and visit. Great restaurant/bar on site. Wonderfully walkable location with an embarrassing richness of restaurants, bars and a handy Whole Foods. Why am I telling you this? We want to return and I don't want to have any problem getting a room! Hey, Hotel Zaza (Dallas) provided one of my favorite stays in a few years - and we travel for fun once a month, so it had some real competition.

I was in town for work for two days. I was given room number 5, which is the "Little Hippie" cabana. Love, love, love this space!! The design details are excellent, the bed is so comfortable and the area of Dallas the hotel is located in is so beautiful and safe. Highly recommend and cannot wait to come back!

Solid four stars! Very nice clean boutique hotel.Recently stayed here on a business trip and the experience was pleasant. The rates were surprisingly reasonable compared to the Hilton nearby but way nicer. The decor was old school 1920s revival charm. Service was very nice. The room was pretty spacious. There's a mini fridge in the room however it was filled with drinks as part of the minibar. The gum downstairs was nice and newer. They do have a restaurant/lounge/bar downstairs which is very convenient. Valet parking is extra but you can book a room with the parking included which comes at a discount.Overall nice experience. Would come back again.

Spent a beautiful afternoon here getting some work done in the lobby before grabbing lunch with a colleague. This hotel is just absolutely beautiful. You feel like you're frozen in time with the decor. It's almost a mix of old Hollywood with a modern twist. I'm not sure how to explain it but we enjoyed our visit. Lunch was delicious with lots of dietary options and substitutes. Grab an iced coffee as well! It's delicious.

Such a beautiful hotel. Staying here is an experience and I'm a repeat customer despite the multitude of choices in Dallas. Today, however, made me loyal forever. When I arrived, I had made a mistake on my reservation, and we didn't think we would have a room for the night. Taila at check-in was so kind and accomodating, and was able to fix the issue for us so that our trip was not ruined after all. She really represented a spirit of hospitality that made us feel cared for. Thank you Taila and Hotel ZaZa!

I really enjoyed the ZaZa. Complimentary drinks in the lobby in the evening. No, not just at check in like some other places in the world. Super funky feel to it. Spotless and great service. There are courtesy cars you can hail from the valet that will take you to and pick you up from a three-mile radius. Valet service is generally quick even when manpower is tight.If you are looking at the website and are thinking, "that's a really small pool," then you will be 100% correct. Unless you are into the LA / Vegas, I am more here to be seen than to cool off in the water, then skip packing your bathing suit.Dragonfly, the hotel's restaurant, is actually great for any time of the day, including late night. Speaking of late at night there was a DJ there spinning tunes while getting a meal late after an event in the evening I went to. Late, as in midnight or later... the music was certainly loud enough for everyone to hear and to sometimes get the crowd singing along, but it was also quiet enough to have a casual conversation during a late night meal. That was simple magic no one else seems to get correct.The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and quiet. Some have names -- I had to laugh passing the room called "Escape" thinking about what might happen if you don't make it out in time for check out.In addition to the drinks in the lobby there were cookies at one point too plus non-alcoholic refreshments as well. Across the board it feels like a lot of attention is paid to the details which in the end make your stay feel really comfortable.Driving in Dallas, at least for me, can be confusing and just plugging in ZaZa into Waze took me to the back of the hotel. Weird. Going around the block I found the main entrance without issue but ended up plugging in Dragonfly for future returns to the hotel instead of trying to figure out what was wrong with the ZaZa address and Waze.

This is by far the best place to stay, not only in Uptown Dallas, but all of Dallas. We have visited the location many times and still look forward to coming back. From the staff to the amenities, no part will disappoint. The hotel is walking distance of some of the best restaurants in Dallas, literally a two block radius. The staff is very accommodating and will give guest a complementary ride to anywhere they need to get to. We will definitely be back soon! Last, don't forget to visit Dragonfly, the premiere restaurant and bar located inside of Hotel ZaZa. Jason, the star bartender is a valuable part of this bar scene. He has a lot of experience with mixology and knowledge of the drinks served! Cheers to all!

Highly overrated hotel. In the Dallas landscape there are other better choices. The restaurant at the hotel was not a hit. Overpriced and very limited menu. Pass
