I just want to share a unique hotel find while on a shoot in Dallas for HNTB. Having to photography soil sample drills on the Trinity River early in the morning, I booked a nite at the Belmont Hotel in the south part of Dallas near Oak Cliff. I figured I had little to lose being five minutes from my shoot the next morning, and besides an old classmate of mine from Maur Hill, Michael Schmidt, said it had a great bar and view of Dallas.
Situated at the corner of Ft. Worth Avenue and Sylvan, I was more than pleasantly surprised to find a well kept, clean, modern hotel with a more than friendly staff, all at very reasonable prices. Sitting out of the patio having a drink and watching the light of Dallas emerge from daylight was incredible.
The Belmont comes with a spectacular view of Downtown Dallas.
The hotel has full health club benefits a the Belmont Health Club next door. An added bonus was finding a location right above the hotel that offered a perfect skyline shot of Dallas for both morning and evening shots.
I will go back to the Belmont, and suggest you check it out on your next visit to Big D.
Ed,
That’s one heck of a terrific photo of the Dallas skyline!
