I see that the driveway openings are boarded over. I guess this space is destined to become restaurant or retail. Any word on what the new offerings will be?

Downtown Dallas: Adolphus Renovation
Re: Downtown Dallas: Adolphus Renovation
I've seen some pretty nice renderings for this somewhere out there and very recently.

Re: Downtown: Adolphus Tower
Thank goodness for the new owners. They saw potential in removing the carport and building out a series of ground floor activated spaces that will greatly increase the respect and attractiveness of this Dallas icon. The carport was just burning money. With a combination of the city allowing a previous car travel lane to become the new valet area. This property has been elevated to new heights and a positive contributor to Downtown.

Yeah, this is quite a drastic change to the area. Hopefully it's a huge success for them and other buildings will take note.

Also gives an incentive to walk down this part of Commerce while AT&T Discovery District is getting built.

Before this gets too far, mdg's pics are from the Hotel, not the office Tower (the original topic) on the other side.
I have seen the new entrance doorway, and it's quite nice and a pleasant surprise.

Also, another store in the works is called Commerce Goods + Supply. Assume it's a gift shop or something similar.

No sooner than the French Room renovation is done, now the executive chef and the Food & Beverage GM there are gone. A new executive chef has been hired; he will debut a new menu in October.

Wow, brief, but nice. They didn't bad-mouth us for once.

Re: Downtown Dallas: Adolphus Renovation
The Adolphus did a great job with their renovation. It's my hotel-of-choice now when staying downtown.

Re: Downtown Dallas: Adolphus Renovation
It's too bad that so much $$$$ had to go into redoing the hotel, but that's what happens when you have a previous owner (or several) that don't put any $$$$ into a hotel. At least one or two I've worked for basically treated the hotels like ATM machines--nothing or little in return. And, at least for once, we have one of our oldest buildings treated like it should be--not as a next item on a demolition company's list.

Here is an existing thread about the Adolphus renovation. I suggest that a moderator merge the new thread into this one.
