Boutique Hotels in Irving, TX

Just west of the Dallas metroplex, Irving is home to the region’s largest office park, with more than 10% of Fortune 500 companies headquartered. Known as an economic powerhouse, it’s also a great destination if you want to be close to downtown Dallas but not directly in the hustle and bustle of the city. At one time, the city was home to the Dallas Cowboys stadium, until it was moved to Arlington in 2010. The Dallas Museum of Art, JFK site and more downtown Dallas attractions are easily accessible from the best Irving boutique hotels.

A good place to start your trip is at the Mustangs of Las Colinas, a majestic, bronze sculpture portraying nine wild horses galloping through water. A favorite among locals, you can find this unique piece at the intersection of State Highway 114 and State Highway 183 in downtown Irving. The sculpture was created by artist Robert Glen and unveiled in 2001.

You don’t have to venture to downtown Dallas for intriguing art installations. The Irving Arts Center, which hosts a variety of events and activities throughout the year, houses many mediums and hosts exhibitions throughout the year. It’s also a great place to catch a live show, with a performance venue, art gallery, workshop space and more, all easily accessible from Irving boutique hotels. The nearby Heritage Crossing District hosts a number of museums that give a glimpse into Irving’s past. The Bear Creek Heritage Center tells the history of emancipated slaves who settled in the area, and the 1912 heritage house is where Irving’s co-founder J.O. Schulz once lived.

Uniquely Irving, the Mandalay Canals are a meandering series of waterways throughout Irving’s Las Colinas neighborhood. For a minute, you might think you’re in Europe, but you’re in Texas! Whether it’s date night or fun with the family, gondola rides provide a fun respite from city traffic, and there’s also plenty of dining options right on the water. You can also take a stroll along the shores of Lake Carolyn, a man-made lake that sits adjacent to Irving and Las Colinas. The trail begins at Heritage Park in downtown Irving where you can stop for lunch after your stroll down Main Street.

Only twenty minutes away from the Dallas metroplex, take a day trip to the city. History lovers will marvel at Dealey Plaza, the site of President Kennedy’s assassination. The grassy knoll is still there, along with two cryptic X marks on the pavement, marking where the shots hit. The plaza itself is home to many important buildings and monuments, including the Old Red Courthouse, where President John F. Kennedy was tried for bootlegging in 1933 after Prohibition ended. Regardless of where you stay, the top Irving boutique hotels offer plenty to see.

The whole area is filled with historical significance and beautiful architecture, but if you're looking for something more modern and contemporary, you can always head over to the West End Historic District or the Arts District, home of the Winspear Opera House. Deep Ellum is also a hit if you’re into live music. Discover all this and more when you book your stay at Irving boutique hotels.
