If you’re seeking a luxury base in the city centre, look no further than the Ritz. Spread over 21 storeys, the 14-year-old property close to the uptown, has over 200 bedrooms.  Afternoon tea is a longstanding tradition at the international chain and in Dallas, it’s served in the lobby lounge. Guests can take the healing waters of the enormous spa, and book a treatment in one of its 12 therapy rooms, swim in the elevated outdoor pool, and dine in the superb Fearing’s Restaurant – one of the top culinary establishments in town. And pets are welcome to stay too.
