The
Magnolia Hotel Dallas, a boutique hotel downtown, is next door to the flagship Neiman Marcus.
If shopping isn't enough sport for you, there is a small fitness center. While the fitness room is bathed in sunlight, it has fairly creaky cardio machines, with only an overhead television.
The free weights weren't much better - a limited range, in bad shape.
The rest of the hotel is fine, though, and I love that the included breakfast is so laid back - you can stop in for coffee and some fruit before you exercise, then eat more after, and no one is checking your room number.
The hotel also offers a nightly evening reception with beer and wine, and room delivery of milk and cookies.
So they really want you to work out.
The hotel is a creative use of a historic building, the former headquarters of the Magnolia Petroleum Co. It has coffered ceilings and antique chandeliers in the lobby and the 24th floor has original glass transoms, ventilation grates, wood floors, paneling and marble.
