AC Hotel by Marriott Dallas by the Galleria

Stylish Comfort Near the Heart of Dallas Music

Modern and sleek, the AC Hotel by Marriott Dallas by the Galleria brings a European-inspired vibe to North Dallas. Just 5 miles from Preston Center and close to several popular Dallas music venues, it’s a smart pick for concert-goers who want a polished place to crash after the show. With an outdoor pool, sleek common spaces, and a lively bar, it blends comfort with convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel offers a great balance of proximity and peace. It's close enough to Uber or drive to several key venues in under 20 minutes, yet far enough from the bustle to let you wind down properly afterward. The 24-hour front desk is a plus if your show runs late, and the free WiFi and chill lounge areas make it easy to unwind. Bonus: you can borrow a free bike if you want to explore the area the next day.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s modern design and cleanliness, helpful staff, and quiet ambiance. Many reviewers point out the excellent location near shopping and entertainment without being too noisy. The pool area and terrace are frequent favorites, especially during warmer months.

Areas for Improvement

Parking is not free, so factor that into your budget. Some guests wished there were more walkable late-night food options, but rideshares are always nearby. And while the vibe is upscale, it’s less of a party scene—great for relaxing, less so for wild nights.
