Mixed-Use Council Tours the Brand New HALL Arts Hotel
December 10, 2019
Representatives from Hillwood, Andres Construction Services, Staubach Capital, 3E Management, Billingsley, CallisonRTKL, Howard Hughes, Butler Advisors, Winstead, Jackson-Walker, Koa Partners, Common Ground Development, Sarofim Realty Advisors, CLX Ventures, KDC, Greenway Investments, Rafkin Advisory, Retail Street Advisors, Urban Opportunity and Streetlights were able to get some behind the scenes information during the Mixed-Use Local Product Council’s tour of HALL ARTS Hotel.
Adjacent to HALL Arts Residences, and next door to both the AT&T performance Center and Moody Performance Hall- the Hall Arts Hotel is the first hotel in the Dallas Arts district, and a huge part of Craig Hall’s vision to make this an area where the mantra of “Live, Work, Play” rings true.
Our Mixed-Use Council (MUC) was able to tour the hotel a mere 7 days after the doors opened, enabling them to catch a first glimpse into the development. Their tour guide shared detailed information of the spaces, the detailed finishes and, of course, the ART.
MUC - HALL ARTS Hotel Tour
-
“Resistance Reverb: Movement 1” by Lava Thomas is comprised of 580 Tambourines. As one of the first things you see, they make for a grand AND fun entrance. Craig’s intent for the curated art was to be approachable and engaging, not to be taken too seriously.
-
The 2444 sqft ball room is beautifully dominated by a custom painting by Clair Woods, and two Lasvit chandelier sculptures which were brought in from the Czech Republic. This area was given a neutral palette to allow art to truly pop.
-
“No Future Plans” by Ben Skinner greets guests from the elevator bank as you enter Ellie’s Restaurant.
It reads: “Let’s Pretend Tomorrow Night Never Happened.”
-
Ellie’s Restaurant & Lounge was named after Craig’s mother, a teacher, artist, and WW2 Navigator who also was one of the first women to enlist in the US Navy. He credits her as the reason he loves art, and the lighting was made to look like stars as a tribute to her.

Each room showcases photos from the “Through the Lens” photography contest. All taken by local photographers, both professional and amatuer, the jury panel selected just 90 images from over 1000 submitted.
