Our Inspector's Highlights
- Staying at The Joule feels a bit like staying in an art gallery. Works from nationally and internationally recognized artists are displayed about the property, perfectly placed to add a bit of modern ambiance to the spaces.
- One of the best design elements at The Joule is Tihany’s daring glass-fronted pool. The 10th-floor pool cantilevers eight feet beyond the Dallas hotel structure, and a Plexiglas window sits at the end.
- Another noteworthy addition to the property is the two-floor spa. The oasis is an earthy retreat with crystals, metals, stones, atmospheric lighting and the latest in spa technology.
- The concierge can arrange house cars to escort you anywhere you need to go, offer the best restaurant recommendations or get you coveted tickets to a game.
A hotel this artistic and chic should have a hot bar, and The Joule delivers with Midnight Rambler. The subterranean lounge features creative cocktails from prominent Dallas bartender Gabe Sanchez, light bites and local DJs.
Things to Know
- Further additions to The Joule experience include the Traffic LA boutique segmented into men’s, women’s and kids’ apparel.
- Enjoy interactive installations, concerts, live-streamed events and more at AT&T Discovery District right across the street, while Klyde Warren Park, the Arts District’s urban oasis, is always buzzing with a diverse event schedule.
- While exploring the area, be sure to also visit Pioneer Plaza on Young Street. This must-stop attraction is a 73-piece, larger-than-life sculpture of a cattle drive by Texas artist Robert Summers.
The Rooms
- The Joule’s rooms in the original structure flaunt an aesthetic that’s decidedly interior decorator Adam Tihany’s — dark woods, steel, glass accents and deep, jewel-tone color palettes.
- The rooms in the Forbes Travel Guide Soon To Be Rated hotel's new tower are designed to excite and are considerably brighter in terms of natural light and color palette.
- Two other elements that stand out are the 42- and 47-inch smart TVs and luxurious washrooms with expansive showers.
- The penthouses are disarmingly fabulous and fit for Hollywood A-listers. It’s a complete living experience with entertaining and cooking space, two bedrooms split on separate levels and a wraparound balcony.
The Restaurants
- CBD Provisions, a unique farm-to-table concept restaurant, is the primary dining option at The Joule. It features a menu that combines Texas culinary traditions with contemporary flair and locally sourced ingredients. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served daily.
- CBD’s bar presents you with a perfect opportunity to get up close and personal with a selection of local craft beers.
- And for the early risers at the luxury hotel, Weekend Coffee opens at 6:30 a.m. daily, and offers a variety of made-to-order java selections and tempting gourmet pastries.
The Joule’s new Italian restaurant, Sassetta debuted in 2022. Come to the beautiful Jean Liu-designed dining room for housemade pastas, deliciously blistered pizzas, mouthwatering desserts, regional wines and vibrant cocktails.
The centrally located Lobby Bar is a fitting spot to start or wind down the night. Enjoy fresh seafood and martinis surrounded by the hotel’s museum-caliber art collection.
