Lodging
A red neon Pegasus horse glows atop The Magnolia Hotel. The beloved Dallas landmark was the tallest building west of the Mississippi when it was headquarters for Magnolia Petroleum Company during the early part of the 20th century. It's refurbished as stylish lodging, mostly for business travelers, but it's an inviting place to stay if you feel like splurging a little. Stroll down the block to the original Neiman-Marcus. Rates start at $119 for two on weekends; (214) 915-6500 or 1-888-915-1110.
