The Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek

The hotel: Once a private residence of Texas cotton magnate, Sheppard King, this early 20th century European Renaissance style building is more of an extravagant house than a hotel. It is famous for its sophisticated style and attentive service.

Rosewood Mansion

Awards for The Rosewood Mansion include Zagat’s top U.S. hotel and Travel + Leisure’s top hotel for service in the world. It’s been rated with five stars by Mobil Travel for the last 18 years and five diamonds by AAA for the last 17 years.

Turtle Creek

Accommodation, services and amenities: The Rosewood Mansion has 143 enormous old-fashioned guest rooms and suites (smallest ones are 450 square feet) and some rooms with marble fireplaces.
