Originally opened during the roaring 1920’s, the property recently underwent a $36 million renovation which restored its historic grandiosity and added a chic new personality and energetic vibe.

January 26, 2012 - As part of the continued brand expansion of the Luxe Hotels’ portfolio, CEO Efrem Harkham announced the addition of the historic Stoneleigh Hotel & Spa in Dallas, Texas, making it the newest Luxe branded property. The announcement was made at The Americas Lodging Investment Summit (ALIS). The stylish, uptown Dallas property is managed by CAM Hospitality Management.

“This addition underscores an incredible time in our organization’s history, as we continue our expansion of branded properties,” said Harkham, the veteran hotelier behind the Luxe brand. “The Stoneleigh’s combination of a great location, distinct style and historic charm is an exact fit with the authentic guest experiences we value at Luxe Hotels,” added Harkham. The Stoneleigh Hotel & Spa will be converted into a Luxe branded hotel and be renamed The Luxe Stoneleigh Dallas Hotel & Spa in the second quarter of 2012.
