Hotel Lumen - A Kimpton Hotel - Dallas 32.84085, -96.78726

The way the hotel is designed there are 3 rooms for every 1 major door off of the main hallway. The doors are so large and heavy, that you not only hear the doors slamming from within the 3 rooms but then you hear the other main door to the hallway slamming. The constant slamming of doors did not lead to very restful sleep. In addition, there was early morning road work (5am) going on that I was not made aware of by the hotel. This lead to the sound of road construction directly 2 floors below my room going on. I was not made aware of this at the time of check-in.

This was a great little place - highly recommend the restautant. Staff was friendly and helpful! Super experience over all!

The room was clean but it was kind of an odd little hotel; definitely not 5 star. The room was quite a bit smaller than we expected (the bathroom was so awkward that you couldn't move around without moving the doors around). The site said we would have a balcony but instead we had a window looking out at a graffiti covered building. We won't stay there again - too many other choices.

Location is in a nice area near SMU.They welcome dogs, which I love. Rooms look nice, but a tad bit small. Restrooms look great, but I wish the sliding door would close all the way. Would be nice if we didn't have to pay for parking, especially since it's not in the middle of downtown.

First off--excellent service; they were always so kind, receptive, and patient. My wife and I stayed on our anniversary and I called twice about arrangements before we came. They were glad to help each call and at check-out they made the extra services I requested complimentary. The suites were big and lush and the shower was pretty cool. Biggest downside is that the view is kind of limited since it is only 4 floors, but everything in the hotel is so well done it makes up big time. Great restaurant/bar as well.

Trendy looking hotel. I just wish the pool was located onsite. It would be nice if we didn't have to pay for parking. I love that they are welcoming to all dogs.

This hotel is excellent for a weekend get away. Could see where having a family would be a problem being that the shower is in the same room as the bed. The shower was amazing and huge. The bed was almost more comfortable than the one I have at home. Customer service and valet were exceptional. The wine hour was cool and was in progress when we arrived so we got a beer and a glass of wine upon check-in. I felt as though the location was great, it was a nice, quite neighborhood, directly across from SMU. Overall I was EXTREMELY satisfied with my stay!!

The hotel is nice but the pictures on the web make it look soooooooooooo good. The decor is just ok. The rooms are just ok. I will say the beds are very confortable.

Great place!! At check-in was a glass of wine, at check-out was a NY Times. Courteous staff and a pizza place nearby.

IF your looking for something a little different than the standard "run of the mill" hotel, this is the place. It has very modern styling with the comfort you would expect from a 5 star hotel. From the lighting in the hallways to the unique art that hangs on the wall. The shower hosts 4 nozzle heads that will sweep your senses. Definately a 4 star hotel.

A stylish and comfortable re-done little hotel with great attitude, nice amenities, and a real good location. No complaints really ... very pleasant staff; free internet, free newspapers delivered to the rooms every morning, reasonable rate for the room (good value).

Great room for the price. Room service food and service was excellent.

Great location for the Highland Park, SMU area. within walking distance to good restaurantsand shopping. Closet is tiny and advertised three HBO channels, but only had the HBO Family channel.

This hotel was a little hidden jewel. The service was outstanding and the room was very comfortable, nicer than some 5 star rooms we have stayed in. It was a luxury jewel for a economy price. We loved it and would definitely stay here again.

hotel lumen is an ok hotel. the palomar is owned by the same company and is much nicer. only 2 blocks away. i wont be staying here again.

I tripped over the wrinkled carpet in my room. My wall lamp kept falling sideways. The A/C vibrated so loud I had to turn it off and open the window to sleep. Dogs barking in the room next door. Customer service - took hours to receive any request:food, towels, etc. The shower was built exposing you to everyone in the room.

I was having an interview at SMU and it was literally across the street. The hotel was clean and modern. The staff was very friendly. And the coffee in the morning was great!

Hotel Lumen was a very comfortable with a very modern style. The staff were helpful and courteous. The location was great as well, there is a lot to do close by. The room was my favorite, particularly the walk-in shower. No complaints whatsoever, would highly recommend.

Hotel was nice for a small boutique. Staff was very friendly and helpfull. Very spacious suite. Only complaint is walls are a little thin. You can sometimes hear your neighbors.

The hotel was nice and cute - contemporary style. However, the sheets gave me a mild rash. I'm not sure what kind of detergent they are using, but it could be just an allergic reaction.

great place to relax, nice area, free beer and wine during wine hour from 5pm to 6pm (certain brands), love the shower.

Wow. We were so surprised and delighted with our stay at Hotel Lumen. It is non descript from the outside, but it was great from the moment we valet took our car. The room was modern, clean, and comfortable. The neighborhood is wonderful and convenient to SMU, Highland Park, University Park and downtown Dallas. We had room service for breakfast - yummy! There was a tie for the best thing about this hotel...the shower and Sunday NY Times at our doorstep. The shower had three wall sprayers in addition to the regualar shower head. And we are former New Yorkers and were excited to have a leisurely breakfast while looking at the Sunday NY Times. We will definitely stay there every time we go to Dallas!!

This place is great, it is in a great location and has amazing amenities. You need to be careful of where you place drinks and not to break the iHome on the nightstand with spilling it though. However, I love the place and would recommend the stay for anyone, and will return when able to.

This is an older hotel that has been remodeled and they did not do a very good job. In our room there was no tub, just a shower with a curtain between the bed and the shower. The personel were all friendly and helpful.

It was a little more than what i was used too. Very upper class in a very upper class part of town. i would not recommend this hotel to those traveling with children but it was good for business travel. The restaurant was delicious and the bed was extremely comfortable with down bedding. The walls are paper thin and i could hear every word my neighbors next door said but thankfully there were earplugs provided in a drawer in the room. Very friendly hotel staff also.

It was well hidden.. for that special gettaway thing that your searching for.. you have to read between the lines on this.. the only thing i didnt like was the bath robes..considering that i weigh bout 250 muscular build the robes should have been a tad bit bigger.. lol

Fantastic service with all the ammenities one could want while remaining low key! A perfect blend!

This is my second stay at this hotel...the staff is very friendly and go above and beyond to make guests feel at home. It is a small boutique style hotel with all the amenities needed to make guests feel comfortable.

Everyone there was overly nice and very helpful. I would recommend this hotel to everyone. The bed was so comfortable I went right to sleep when my head hit the pillow. A++

We only stayed one night at the Hotel Lumen, but will definitely return for any trip we make to Dallas. The hotel was clean, friendly, modern, and in a quiet neighborhood. The food is great, the valet quick and easy, and the amenities more than ample. To top it off, Kimpton hotels strive to be more eco-friendly, which is always a bonus.

This hotel is quite edgy. Nothing like any hotel I have ever stayed at before. The shower was amazing and I have decided to put one in my home exactly like it!

The room was great, bed even better but the walls are paper thin. So, although the room, service and cleanliness are right on it's difficult to dismiss the sounds in the next room regardless of your purpose for being there. They did provide an iPod dock - my suggestion..update your playlist!

As with previous stays, Hotel Lumen always meets my expectations. The most comfortable beds I have slept in. I was able to sleep knowing that the hotel was prepared for the hurricane and had informed me about their provisions. This hotel is always a favorite when visiting Dallas.

great hotel!

beautiful intimate hotel!

The hotel exceeded my expectation in every way possible. The bed was incredible, room layout great, staff very friendly and helpful, location is perfect. Here is my one complaint...I want a Dallas newspaper versus the New York Times. Great hotel!

They sold a room with no windows and a foldout sofa bed as a hotel room. I was exhausted after a hectic business schedule and had to sleep on a fold out. MISERABLE! I have stayed many times at Kimpton hotels and have not experienced anything like this. They should have to disclose these specifics to the buying public.

We're here on a "hurrication" - running away from Ike. The staff here has been incredibly friendly. The maintenance staff responded in less than 2 minutes regarding a minor tv remote issue. The restaurant here is the best "hotel restaurant" I have eaten in regarding price/quality of food/quality of service. The truffled mac and cheese was terrific.
