New hotels in Deep Ellum

Deep Ellum is Dallas's creative heart, a former warehouse district immediately east of downtown known for the most concentrated urban mural program in Texas — covering the walls of Commerce, Main and Elm Streets — and a dense strip of live-music venues that has drawn touring acts since the neighborhood's jazz and blues heyday a century ago. No hotel we track has opened here yet; travelers wanting to stay close by currently base themselves in Downtown Dallas, a short walk west across the Good-Latimer Tunnel.

What to do in Deep Ellum

For a weekend

Walk the mural blocks along Commerce, Main and Elm Streets, then catch a show at one of the neighborhood's live-music venues in the evening — Deep Ellum has one of the densest concentrations of small venues in Dallas.

For a longer stay

With more time, the Continental Gin Building's studios and the neighborhood's growing brewery scene are worth an afternoon, and the DART Green Line's Deep Ellum station connects directly into Downtown Dallas and beyond.
