That’s a portmanteau of “Swiss” and “Texan”, if you’re wondering, and it’s a gamble that pays off bigger the longer you stay. Hotel Swexan draws on this dual heritage to conjure the effortless charm of continental service standards plus larger-than-life Texan swagger. It’s a lot of hotel in the Harwood district, itself a walkable oasis in Uptown Dallas, and there’s no shortage of must-try activities without even leaving the grounds. Call it cowboy entrepreneur: spacious, no-expense-spared rooms with commanding views, but also a freewheeling sense of humor and up-for-anything energy in the decor. It looks, feels, and acts like the flagship property it is. Head to the roof at some point every night and drink it in.
