America’s classic mid-century courtyard motels have long been fertile ground for renovation, and in the Valencia Hotel Group’s hands they’re inspiration for modern luxury boutique hotels as well. Texican Court, in the Dallas suburb of Irving, replaces the central parking lot with inviting outdoor lounge space, and upgrades the rooms with contemporary design and high-end details. Two Mules Cantina serves classic Tex-Mex cuisine in a lively indoor-outdoor space, while the hotel’s beer garden features live music on the weekends, and the Salt Tequila Bar is just what it sounds like, serving tequila tastings alongside margaritas and other cocktails.
