A Dallas boutique hotel moment away from SMU

Once a charming 1960s motel, The Lumen has been transformed into a mid-century retreat in an ideal location directly across from Southern Methodist University (SMU), along a tree-lined border of the Highland Park neighborhood. And when urban exploration calls (and we’re sure it will), the hotel is two blocks west of I-75/Central Expressway and a few short miles to the Dallas North Tollway.

The Lumen has stylish suites and guestrooms that are infused with a high-design sensibility. This boutique hotel also boasts a poolside scene for guests only which includes an outdoor heated swimming pool and lounge area with seasonal rooftop, free WiFi, a work out facility, and enough indoor and outdoor event space to host a graduation party, game-day festivities, cocktail receptions, weddings and much more.

The Front Room Tavern is a perfect blend of destination dining and hotel hotspot. With a four-star review from The Dallas Morning News, it is at the forefront of the Dallas restaurant scene, dishing out well-schooled and creative new American comfort food.
