At this newly renovated Uptown mainstay, guests can enjoy a detoxifying facial at the spa, a dip in the outdoor pool or a shopping trip to Stanley Korshak—all without leaving the premises.

For a swanky staycation, look no further than these boutique digs in Uptown’s historic State Thomas neighborhood.

Be sure to book dinner at Dragonfly, the hotel’s on-site restaurant, for fine dining in an eclectic artfilled atmosphere. 2332 Leonard St., 214.468.8399, hotelzaza.com/dallas
