A modern, 198-room luxury boutique hotel, The Highland Dallas is located at North Central and Mockingbird Lane and defines an intersection of style, culture, sophistication and comfort.

As part of this change, The Highland Dallas will be one of the first renowned properties to join Hilton Worldwide as part of Curio – a Collection by Hilton. Curio is a carefully-selected, global collection of distinctive four and five-star hotels created for travelers who seek discovery and authentic experiences.

Existing Hotel Palomar Dallas reservations are intact at The Highland Dallas, and current and future guests may immediately begin collecting and redeeming Hilton HHonors points. Customers may book new reservations by visiting www.thehighlanddallas.com, or calling 1-800-HILTONS. The property will be managed and operated by Interstate Hotels & Resorts, the leading U.S.-based global hotel management company.

"A premiere luxury boutique hotel, The Highland Dallas enhances the Interstate portfolio with a showcase property in one of the top U.S. travel destinations," said Jim Abrahamson, CEO of Interstate Hotels & Resorts. "As one of the first properties included in Curio – A Collection by Hilton, our management team at The Highland has developed a sophisticated guest experience that will resonate with today's modern traveller."

"It's fitting that one of the first hotels to join Curio is a former Hilton property – while it returns to the Hilton portfolio, it will retain the unique identity it has developed over the past several decades," said Dianna Vaughan, global head, Curio – A Collection by Hilton. "This perfectly illustrates how the brand encourages hotels to preserve what makes them special while also offering guests the quiet reassurance the Hilton name provides and the benefits of our invaluable HHonors loyalty program."

World-class Amenities

With 198 well-appointed guestrooms and suites, The Highland Dallas offers a sophisticated and contemporary guest experience. Featuring stylish décor and intuitive service touches, guests enjoy unsurpassed accommodations surrounded by a dynamic Dallas location. Each guestroom features a plush king-sized bed with Frette linens, designer headboards and an oversized desk. Guests will also enjoy luxurious bath amenities, and comfortable seating area for enjoying the state-of-the-art flat-screen plasma TV, iHome docking station and DVD player.

The Highland is also home to the acclaimed restaurant, Knife, a reinvention of the steakhouse experience created by nationally-acclaimed, James Beard-nominated and Bravo's "Top Chef" contestant Chef John Tesar. Melding classic "Old School" with modern "New School" dishes, Knife features all-natural born and raised Texasbeef, pork and lamb in dry-aged prime cuts as well as exotic specialty cuts. Boasting more than the average steakhouse, the menu also incorporates an extensive charcuterie program, bacon and ham tastings, sausages and burgers.

Guests can also rejuvenate and reenergize at Exhale, Dallas' premiere destination for health and wellbeing. Exhale offers daily superior fitness classes including Core Fusion Barre, Bootcamp, Cardio and Yoga. An expansive suite of spa therapy rooms accommodates a full menu of face and body treatment offerings. Guests begin and culminate their restorative experiences in fully appointed changing rooms featuring private daily lockers, showers, and a eucalyptus steam room.

Specializing in the very latest in hair, skin and nail care, Salon Pompeo is dedicated to offering the best, individualized salon experience possible. The salon delivers contemporary hair styles and premium nail care, all in a stylish environment that features a fully-stocked bar.

Blending exceptional service, world-class amenities and a new signature style, The Highland Dallas is evocative of the affluence and elegance of the nearby Highland Park community, often described as the "Beverly Hills ofTexas." Guests may explore and experience upscale shopping at the Highland Park Village, featuring haute couture boutiques set amidst the gorgeous confines inspired by Spanish Mediterranean architecture.
