The Perfect Summer Staycation Awaits | Hilton Anatole | Spotlight

By Meredith Knight

It’s that time of year again. Time to plan the perfect family vacation. Something that will wow every member of the family and craft memories to last a lifetime. No pressure, right? Hilton Anatole has an idea for you. Why don’t you stay right here in Dallas and enjoy the perfect staycation at their 45-acre property with endless fun for the kids and deluxe amenities for the grown-ups. Just listen to all Hilton Anatole has to offer your family this summer.

Hilton Anatole offers an oasis in the middle of DFW with 1,610 guest rooms — many newly renovated — a three-acre water park, JadeWaters, a seven-acre sculpture garden, a top-golf suite, a selection of dining options, state-of-the-art gym, and fun, themed weekend events throughout the summer. Your family can even stay together in a family suite.

JadeWaters

Spanning three acres within the hotel’s seven-acre sculpture park, JadeWaters features a family and children’s area with a 7,000-square-foot beach-entry pool, activity pool with play areas, two winding water slides, and a 630-foot lazy river. You and your kids can relax on tubes as you meander past waterfalls, sculptures, and luscious landscaping, slide down either of two 180-foot water slides, or splash around in the Kids Splash and Play Zone. A separate 4,000-square-foot pool with a hot tub includes a swim-up bar with in-pool seating and private cabanas with cabana-side service are available for rent. And it’s all just a stroll away from your room.

Dining at Hilton Anatole

You’ll love the assortment of dining options at Hilton Anatole. Start your day with coffee from Counter Offer, which also features grab-and-go sandwiches, soup, salad, and fruit. Enjoy lunch, cocktails, or dinner at Media Grill and Bar. Then have a leisurely family dinner as you take in the gorgeous Dallas skyline at SER Steak and Spirits. You can even enjoy family favorites and cocktails in between swimming fun at JadeWaters Grill and Bar.

Under the talented hands of Executive Chef Arnaud Masset, high-end SER Steak and Spirits is an American steakhouse with an emphasis on locally sourced meats and produce. Immerse yourself in a top dining experience with sweeping skyline views, exclusive cuts of prime beef, and an award-winning wine selection.

Media Grill and Bar offers American cuisine, cocktails, and beer for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and a chance to take in the game on large-screen TVs. Counter Offer serves up your Starbucks favorites as well as gourmet grab-and-go items such as hot sandwiches, soups, salads, fresh fruit, and more. Then, slip on over to Something Sweet. Hey, you’re on vacation. Indulge in soft-serve ice cream or the sweet treat of your choice. Of course, you don’t even have to leave your room or suite. Just order up from the extensive in-room delivery menu, available for breakfast or dinner.

Top Golf, Anyone?

Hilton Anatole’s Indoor Topgolf Swing Suite features three bays which can accommodate up to eight people, each offering an advanced golf and interactive gaming simulator that includes a variety of virtual games paired with comfortable lounge seating and a full menu and bar. Play some of the country’s top courses virtually or challenge each other to a rousing game of zombie dodge ball, soccer, or hockey.

Art Initiative

During your visit, be sure to take in the exclusive art collection including art and artifacts scattered throughout the common areas. This collection includes a large portion of the Berlin Wall and a propellor from the RMS Lusitania. The kinetic sculpture, The Nebula, suspended from the ceiling of the hotel’s atrium is a complex engineering feat that has to be seen to be believed. The structure features thousands of custom amber crystals made from 14,064 bicycle reflectors and custom anodized aluminum cones and rods and organized in a multi-tiered, geometric pattern. And the sculptures scattered throughout the seven-acre sculpture garden are too many to name. Currently, the hotel is showcasing art from up-and-coming Dallas artist students.

Verandah Athletic Club and Spa

Verandah Athletic Club has what you need to meet your wellness goals, even when you’re on vacation. They have everything from cardio and weight machines to one-on-one and group training. You can also become a member to access their top-of-the-line equipment, even when you’re not a guest at the resort. Members enjoy the premier health and strength-training center and programs starting at $149 a month.

Whether you book your staycation during Cinco De Mayo and let the margaritas flow, Memorial Day weekend with a DJ and backyard barbecue, or any time during Summer 2024, you’ll be glad you stayed right here in DFW and shared all the Hilton Anatole has to offer your family. See you around the pool!
