Dallas’ landmark Mansion on Turtle Creek hotel is celebrating a redo

Dallas' landmark Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek Hotel is celebrating its 40th birthday with a new look.

The posh Oak Lawn hotel is ready to show off its remodeled guest rooms, a redone lobby and other upgrades.

Originally built in the 1920s as the mansion for a cotton tycoon, the grand home was facing demolition in the late 1970s when Dallas oil heiress and businesswoman Caroline Rose Hunt bought it.

Hunt restored the original Italian Renaissance-style house overlooking Turtle Creek into an exclusive restaurant that opened in the summer of 1980.

The adjoining 142-room, nine-story luxury hotel debuted a year later and was a hit with both the locals and business and leisure travelers.

The just-completed remodeling is just the latest redo for the hotel over the years.

The hotel added a new pool and event lawn in 2018.

“Since its inception, Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek has been a beloved gathering place for the local community and visiting travelers alike, and it is with great pride and pleasure that we welcome guests to experience the next chapter of the Mansion’s illustrious story,” Andrea Gates, managing director of Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek, said in a statement. “Offering a modern interpretation of the property’s signature, residential style, the new Mansion reflects the pinnacle of luxury hospitality in today’s times.”

The lobby has been redecorated with separate concierge and registration areas and lounge seating.

The hotel added a boutique cowboy boot outlet by bespoke bootmaker Miron Crosby.

The guest rooms and suites have been redecorated and appointed with custom furnishings, millwork, textiles and art.

Dallas interior designer Thomas Pheasant and Dallas architecture firm Three oversaw the renovations.
