The Stoneleigh Hotel in Dallas Reopens After Major Renovation by Fettle
Originally opened in 1923 as The Stoneleigh Court Hotel, the Stoneleigh Hotel in Dallas, Texas, has undergone a revitalization by the UK design studio Fettle. This Beaux-Arts structure, created by Frank J. Woerner, has welcomed notable personalities such as Judy Garland and Elvis Presley. Fettle's renovation of public spaces and guest suites draws inspiration from Dorothy Draper, featuring selections from Lee Jofa and House of Hackney. The lobby showcases low furnishings and a skirted reception area, leading to Bar Leonessa, a lounge reminiscent of the Prohibition era. Chef Michael White curates the menu at the Lion's Den restaurant. The hotel boasts 176 guest rooms with custom wallpaper and signature suites that reflect its storied past, along with outdoor areas that include a pool designed for 1920s socialites.
