The Stoneleigh is a historic and distinguished landmark located in the most prestigious part of Uptown Dallas. Currently undergoing a substantial $20 million renovation, it is set to re-emerge as part of Marriott's prestigious Autograph Collection in early Q2 2026. This transformation promises a fresh, luxurious experience marked by expansive rooms, exceptional dining, and a unique ambiance that beautifully blends bold, timeless design with modern luxury. The Stoneleigh is poised to become an iconic destination that captures both the rich heritage of Dallas and contemporary hospitality excellence. The hotel will also be home to an exciting new restaurant venture led by the acclaimed Chef Michael White. Chef White is celebrated for his numerous culinary awards, including the prestigious James Beard Award and five simultaneous Michelin stars, reflecting his profound expertise and innovative approach to cuisine. His new restaurant concepts at The Stoneleigh, named the Lions Den, will open in early March 2026, offering dishes crafted with seasonal ingredients and global inspirations, all woven together with a distinctly Dallas spirit.
