Belmont Hotel Reminiscent of “Mad Men” Days
Hotel Belmont can be summed up in one word: retro. This hip, authentic boutique hotel overlooks downtown Dallas on the edge of Oak Cliff, which gives it spectacular views that feels like this place is set far apart from the crowd. 
A completely re-done motor lodge circa 194o's, it's modern and fresh without trying too hard or coming off too posh. Rooms are spread out between four buildings that include garden rooms, two-story lofts and bungalows.
You might feel as if you stepped into an episode of "Mad Men" when you drive up, but the cuddly bathrobes, Kiehl's bath products, and outdoor heated pool will remind you that it's modern day. The brightly colored BarBelmont and Smoke restaurant will beckon you out of your cozy room, and you can't beat same-day laundry service and dry cleaning that is available to the stressed out traveler.
A few must-see areas are the views at sunset from the outdoor terrace, the relaxing spa-like pool and the people watching at BarBelmont. The entire property is aesthetically conscious and retro, and the Belmont Hotel does it better than anyone else.
