The Joule, a hotel in Starwood's Luxury Collection, has opened in downtown Dallas.
The hotel is in the former Dallas National Bank, a 20-story building with gothic arches that was built in 1929, and a new 10-story tower. Atop the hotel is a cantilevered rooftop pool and bar area that extends beyond the building's perimeter, over the streets of Dallas.
Other amenities are a gym, in-room spa services, a library and more than 2,300 square feet of meetings space. The hotel's restaurant, Charlie Palmer at the Joule, features Next Vintage, a retail wine store.
According to a report in the Dallas Morning News, the Joule was ready to open last year, but the debut was postponed because the developers opted to replace Kimpton with Starwood as the hotel operator.
