Dreaming about a dazzling day trip or a staycation that sleighs?

We have the road map for planning an unforgettable experience all in one place: The Adolphus.

This iconic Dallas destination transforms into a dazzling winter wonderland each year, welcoming back festive traditions and stunning decor designed by Dallas-based Dr. Delphinium. The hotel features elaborate holiday displays, including the city’s tallest live tree — a breathtaking 25-foot Balsam fir from Michigan, adorned with twinkling lights, gold ribbons, and glass ornaments.

But the festive fun doesn’t stop there. Here’s what’s waiting for you:

⛷️ Winter Village

Head to the hotel’s seventh-floor rooftop terrace and be transported to a picturesque après-ski scene complete with cozy chalets, fuzzy blankets, and sophisticated winter cocktails inspired by classic holiday movies. Enjoy the panoramic views of downtown Dallas while indulging in a festive menu blending French-inspired cuisine with Texas favorites. Reservations are encouraged and all cabanas and chalets include a bottle of champagne.

🕯️ Candlelight concert

Let the renowned Listeso String Quartet fill your evening with holiday cheer on Dec. 21 and 22. Each enchanting performance includes beloved classics like selections from “The Nutcracker” and takes place at 6:30 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. Secure your tickets for an unforgettable night of music.

🥂 Festive feasts + merry libations

  • Otto’s Coffee & Fine Foods | The Adolphus’ in-house Viennese-inspired coffee shop’s new holiday menu features festive beverages + seasonal treats, including: Sugar Cookie Lattes, Caramel Apple Cider, and spirited twists on classics like a Caramel Apple Martini or Apple Old Fashioned.
  • Holiday Tea | Now through Jan. 5, experience one of the city’s most cherished festive traditions in the beautiful and historic French Room. (Reservations are required.)
  • Holiday Dining | This season, the charming French Room Bar is transformed into a festive haven, inviting guests to unwind by the roaring fireplace or the stunning black marble bar with two delightful menus: Holiday Brunch and Dinner. (Reservations are encouraged.)
