Dallas Grand Hotel

The 20 story Dallas Grand Hotel, originally named the Statler Hilton, opened in 1956.  It features an innovative cantilevered structural system that extends the floor eight feet beyond interior supports.  Architect William B. Tabler designed the "Y" shaped tower with rows of embossed porcelain enamel panels adorning the facade, making it one of the unique 1950's buildings in Dallas.  A jacuzzi is located on the roof of the hotel, offering great views of Downtown Dallas.  The hotel has 710 guest rooms, making it the third largest hotel in the city and the building is 234 feet high.  At the current time, the hotel is vacant.
