Adolphus Busch of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association put a proposal to the city of Dallas to buy the City Hall property and build a 20 storey hotel. The City accepted and in 1912 the Adolphus Hotel was opened. At that time the French Renaissance Beaux Arts structure was the tallest building in Dallas and was dubbed the ‘most beautiful building west of Venice”. In 1981 the original building was restored. The hotel has beautiful artwork and antiques displayed in an old world theme.

At the corner of the building is a Budweiser beer bottle shaped turret.

The hotel has 428 guestrooms and luxury suites. The French Room is a richly decorated restaurant complete with murals, arches and chandeliers and serves a classic French cuisine.

It has also been listed on Condé Nast Traveler's Top 20 Restaurants in America, and was awareded Zagat Survey's Top 20 Food Ranking.
