THINK TWICE IF
You want a quiet countryside resort
01 / THE BRAND
What it’s all about.
The Joule is a downtown Dallas hotel with a strong design identity. Its appeal is the combination of city dining, a dramatic rooftop pool and a subterranean spa, making it an urban escape rather than a traditional resort.
Guestrooms and suites
Seasonal rooftop pool service and cabanas
Spa, restaurants, bars and fitness center
02 / WHAT IT COSTS
Date dependent • room plus extras
There is no universal nightly price on the official amenities page. Quote your room dates, then add valet, spa treatments and any cabana reservations. A house car is listed for destinations within three miles; confirm availability and conditions.
Prices in US dollars unless stated otherwise. Starting prices and historical examples are not live offers. Select your dates, guest ages and travel product, then compare the final total and cancellation terms.
