I had the opportunity to have a private tour of this property and can honestly say I was overly impressed. As soon as I arrived, the hotel doors were held open for me and I was immediately greeted by a sharply dressed gentleman who asked how he could assist me. As I waited in the elegantly decorated lobby I noticed a beverage area with fresh cucumber water available. The level of sophistication I felt during my visit was more than I was expecting and what I hope to encounter from this point forward.
Hilton acquired the former Hotel Palomar for its Curio Collection. This refreshed boutique hotel is reshaping accommodations in an effort to cater to the booming Dallas business scene. With seven event rooms consisting of over 13,000 square feet, the Highland can host a number of functions from executive board meetings to weddings and banquets up to 500 guests. Knife by Chef John Tesar is available for catering as well as additional menu options for large events.
Whether you’re visiting The Highland on a business trip or a staycation, the relaxation and comfort you will experience here is sure to take your cares away. With a full spa onsite, Exhale offers a variety of treatments including massages, facials, acupuncture, steam rooms, and more. A simple reservation and your day of relaxation is just a few deep breaths away.
A fully equipped fitness center is available to guests visiting The Highland. Open 24 hours with state of the art cardio equipment, balance balls and stretching accessories. Wanting to keep up with your yoga practice or favorite group exercise class? Barre, yoga, and bootcamp classes are offered daily so you don’t have to feel guilty about missing a workout!
After your day at the spa or an intense yoga session, you have to take a dip in the guest exclusive pool. This year round heated infinity pool is the perfect way to wind down after a long day or simply cool off in the summer. Relax in a cabana and order off the poolside menu for the ultimate experience.
At some point during your stay, you will need to head to your room, maybe to clean up and get ready for cocktails and dinner at Knife or for a much needed nap after your massage. Whatever the reason, The Highland has put exceptional care in designing and decorating for their guests. From traditional rooms to suites, all 198 guestrooms are complete with stocked minibars, Molton Brown bath amenities, iHome docking stations, and flat screen TV’s with DVD players.
