NYLO Dallas/Las Colinas a New Kid on the Block

Picture 6If you are a regular Dallasite or someone just passing through, staying in Las Colinas is a gateway to fun nightlife and no pressure atmosphere.  The NYLO Dallas/Las Colinas hotel offers some of the spark you expect in Dallas, but without all the drama. With little fuss over parking, safety, and convenience, guests can relax in “urban loft-style accommodations,” just nine miles from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.

A heated outdoor swimming pool and happening bar/restaurant/club scene keeps the hotel a social hotspot.  At The Loft restaurant, which is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you will find talented DJ’s, live music, and special events year-round.  Known as one of the more “green” boutique hotels in the city, you can feel good about reducing your carbon footprint during your stay, while resting in an allergy-free and pet friendly abode.  NYLO Dallas/Las Colinas may be a new kid on the block, but well worth making your new friend.
