Dallas Luxury Hotel A Star in Texas
The Adolphus made its debut on the dusty streets of Dallas on October 5, 1912. From that day forward, this grand historic hotel – considered the first Dallas luxury hotel – ushered in a new era for the city, helping to transform a once quiet cattle town into the world-class destination it is today.
Envisioned by beer baron Adolphus Busch as an icon of Edwardian opulence, this Dallas luxury hotel is a baroque masterpiece infused with classic European charm. The Adolphus includes a museum collection of artwork, including Flemish tapestries, Louis XV chairs and a Victorian Steinway once owned by the Guggenheims – making this Dallas luxury hotel a work of art in and of itself.
Fitting its grande dame status, The Adolphus has played host to royalty: from Queen Elizabeth II of England to King Olaf V of Norway, as well as the Vanderbilts, U2 and Oscar de la Renta.

Dallas Luxury Hotel Meets History Head-On
The Adolphus, grande dame of Dallas luxury hotels, was the creation of Adolphus Busch, a German immigrant and St. Louis beer baron. In 1910, Dallas had outgrown its 1888 City Hall on the northwest side of town, and the city wanted both a new municipal building and a fine hotel to represent their growth. They approached Busch about creating a Dallas luxury hotel on the site of the existing City Hall. Busch agreed, and then announced plans for a $1-million Dallas luxury hotel.
In late 1910, demolition and construction got started. A baroque masterpiece was created – a Dallas luxury hotel unlike anything standing in the relatively unsophisticated city. The original plan was to call the hotel the New Oriental, but it eventually became the Adolphus, named in honor of the owner.
In December 1911, the cornerstone was laid, and in October 1912, this Dallas luxury hotel opened to the public. The Adolphus was an immediate success, and by 1916, additional rooms were needed. Construction was undertaken on a twelve-story annex to the west of the original hotel. This western annex to Dallas luxury hotel was known for many years as the “Junior Adolphus.”
In 1936, when President Roosevelt attended the Texas Centennial Exposition festivities held in the city, he and Mrs. Roosevelt stayed at the Adolphus. Through the years, this Dallas luxury hotel has hosted countless famous celebrities. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, Presidents Carter, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and numerous other luminaries have stayed under her roof.
By 1980, the proud Dallas luxury hotel underwent a $60-million renovation of its interior and exterior spaces, including a restoration of the main tower and the ceiling of the baroque dining room, which was painted with cherubs, clouds, and beer hops, in honor of the hotel’s founder.
In 1981, the restored Adolphus opened to rave reviews. Today, this historic Dallas luxury hotel continues to be an essential part of the city’s downtown.
