Since your hotel is in the Downtown Dallas Art District, spend the day exploring art. Start off at Dallas Art Museum. The museum features pieces showcasing different cultures, time periods and more.

Before the sun sets, head up Reunion Tower to catch the best views of Dallas. While there, snag a table at Fifty Sixty Restaurant for dinner with a view.
Before heading back to the airport, stop at Dallas Farmers Market for some breakfast. If you are looking for fresh ingredients and even better taste, eat at Beyond the Butcher for ranch-to-table dining.

When the two of us entered The Spa at Four Seasons Tamarindo, past the backlit boutique items and local artisan-painted wood carvings, the place wrapped us in a feeling of tranquility. Its stone walls, earth tones, woven wall hangings and furniture made of natural materials reminded us we are part of nature’s spectrum, the abundant windows showing native plants and trees outside.

After a long drive from our previous destination, it was a relief to see Althoff Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg in our view. When we pulled into the hotel court, I felt like we were pulling up to a royal palace. Considering the hotel was originally built as a castle for Prince Elector Johann Wilhelm II of Duesseldorf and his wife, Maria-Luisa of the Medici family, my thought wasn’t that far off.
