The Joule
Texas
The Joule gives a downtown Dallas landmark a contemporary second life. The neo-Gothic building now houses a 160-room hotel where art, dining and design are integral to the stay. The collection extends through the public spaces, while the giant eyeball sculpture across the street makes the hotel’s interest in public art hard to miss. Rooms, suites and penthouses provide different ways to settle into the building, with shops and the Taschen Library adding reasons to explore. One of its most distinctive features is the rooftop pool, which projects beyond the edge of the hotel. A spa and fitness centre offer further ways to spend time away from the streets. Dining and drinks range from CBD Provisions and Sassetta to Midnight Rambler and Weekend Coffee. The Joule is a strong fit for travellers who want a city hotel with a clear visual identity, especially when a good part of the trip can unfold around art, food and a central Dallas address.
