THE LUMEN: A DALLAS BOUTIQUE HOTEL
ACROSS FROM SMU


Once a charming 1960s motel, The Lumen has been transformed into a mid-century retreat in an ideal location directly across from Southern Methodist University (SMU), along a tree-lined border of the Highland Park neighborhood. And when urban exploration calls (and we’re sure it will), the hotel is two blocks west of I-75/Central Expressway and a few short miles to the Dallas North Tollway. This boutique hotel boasts a poolside scene for guests only, a four-star restaurant The Front Room Tavern, free Wi-Fi, a work out facility, and enough indoor and outdoor event space to host a graduation party, game-day festivities, cocktail receptions, weddings and much more.

Our pool will be closed until November 10th for minor improvements and private functions. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.

    Excellent Hotel!

    Staff was extremely helpful and friendly, room was beautiful and it was a great location, we were visiting the SMU campus right across the street. We stayed in one of the suites and there was plenty of room for all.

    Awesome Hotel !!

    I love this Hotel. It’s so clean and has a friendly staff the moment you walk in. The rooms are very spacious which i loved. Great products from the Niven and Morgan line. I can’t stress how awesome this place is. We celebrated at the St. Patrick’s Day parade and decided to visit Dallas and book a room at The Lumen. The valet staff are on point and extremely helpful. Our room was amazing and extremely clean. The lien was soft, the robes were comfy and the soaking tub was amazing. I love to stay at a hotel where i know i’m getting my money worth. I recommend staying here and look forward to my next visit!
