These awards are based on extensive survey results from over 180,000 readers, reflecting traveler satisfaction and preferences across numerous accommodations and properties.

Top-Ranking Hotels in Texas and North Texas

Among the distinguished hotels in Texas, two properties located in North Texas have secured top spots. The Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa is ranked as the second-best resort in Texas, maintaining a high score of 93.50 from nearly 180,000 voters. This recognition comes after it was the top resort in Texas last year, evidencing consistent popularity and excellence. Situated in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, the Omni PGA Frisco offers visitors two 18-hole championship golf courses, 500 guest rooms, ten ranch houses, four swimming pools, and more than a dozen dining options, making it a comprehensive luxury destination.

The Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center also ranked among the best, coming in as the fifth-best resort in Texas. Known for its grandeur and extensive amenities, it has garnered over 19,000 reviews on Google, averaging a 4.4-star rating. Recent visitor feedback described the property as “breathtaking,” highlighting its appeal among travelers seeking a high-end experience in North Texas.

Notable Hotel in Dallas-Fort Worth

In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Hotel Drover was named the top hotel in the metroplex for 2025. This marks the third consecutive year the hotel has earned this distinction despite opening only in 2022. Hotel Drover is part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection and offers unique Texas heritage experiences. Guests can enjoy attractions such as a twice-daily cattle drive, live music, and the nearby John Wayne Museum, establishing it as a destination that embodies local culture.

Factors Influencing the Rankings and Regional Growth

The Travel + Leisure awards consider various factors, including rooms, location, service quality, food options, and overall value. These rankings serve as an important indicator of the region’s hospitality strength and appeal to travelers worldwide.

Currently, there are already 30 hotels under construction in Dallas, with more planned for the coming years.
