Five of the most luxurious hotels in Dallas-Fort Worth, including Dallas’ Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek, have earned prestigious acclaim in Travel + Leisure’s annual report of the 500 best hotels in the world for 2026.<\/p>\n

The T+L 500 List<\/a> rounds up the highest ranked properties from the magazine’s annual World\u2019s Best Survey. Results are grouped geographically across eight global regions: the U.S.; Canada; the Bahamas, Bermuda and the Caribbean; Mexico, Central America, and South America; Europe; Africa and the Middle East; Asia; and Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific.<\/p>\n

The T+L 500 List is published separately from the World’s Best Awards<\/a>, which is the in-depth breakdown of the world’s top hotels, resorts, travel destinations, and more. These local hotels have made consistent<\/a> appearances<\/a> in the awards over the years.<\/p>\n

Rosewood Mansion has continued soaring in popularity since being named the best resort in Texas<\/a> earlier this year by U.S. News & World Report. Since its opening in 1981, the hotel has established itself as one of the most popular hospitality properties in Dallas, and not just for its luxurious guest rooms.<\/p>\n

The Mansion Restaurant is an icon<\/a> in its own right, widely known for its decadent afternoon tea<\/a> services and special holiday brunches. In celebration of Mother’s Day, the restaurant will serve a three-course prix fixe brunch that also includes spring-inspired desserts. <\/p>\n

The two other Dallas-area hotels and resorts were included in the T+L 500 List are Hotel Vin in Grapevine and Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa.<\/p>\n

Hotel Vin has been undergoing renovations<\/a> since 2025 to add 120 guest rooms and suites, an outdoor pool, a 5,000-square-foot event space, restaurant, and boutique spa. Most recently, the in-house restaurant Bacchus Kitchen + Bar debuted a major refresh<\/a> of the menu, plus the introduction of new experiential programming like rotating wine pairing dinners.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Omni PGA Frisco just wrapped up its SAVOR event, a four-day celebration<\/a> of the best food and beverage offerings from iconic chefs, sommeliers, and mixologists from Texas’ best restaurants and bars.<\/p>\n

Award-winning hotels in Fort Worth
Bowie House and Hotel Drover were the two Fort Worth hotels that were included on the T+L 500 List. Praise for Bowie House also extends further than for its Southern hospitality; the hotel’s live music series has starred hometown heroes like Leon Bridges<\/a>, and its signature chophouse Bricks and Horses is highly regarded as one of the best restaurants<\/a> in the city.<\/p>\n

Hotel Drover is celebrating five years since its opening in the Fort Worth Stockyards with anniversary packages, limited-edition commemorative collaborations, and multimillion-dollar upgrades<\/a> to elevate its already chic vibe. The hotel restaurant 97 West Kitchen & Bar is getting a full revamp to add year-round temperature control, outdoor patio seating enhancements, and an expansion for the horse trailer-turned-bar Pour Horse.<\/p>\n
