Nearby freeways offer quick access to the Dallas Market Center, major shopping centers, and both area airports. The Fairmont Hotel in Dallas opened with much local fanfare in 1969 as Texas' first luxury hotel. At the time of its completion, the hotel was the tallest building in the City. The Dallas Museum of Art, Symphony Hall, Arts District Theatre, and soon to be Nasher Sculpture Garden, are all located within three blocks of the hotel. Since its inception, The Fairmont Hotel has hosted every debutante, and political and civic event in the City.
Entertainment is also an integral part of the Fairmont tradition.
