Tips for cultural tourists and event attendees
- Pearl/Arts District Station, at Pearl and Bryan streets, is served by all four DART light rail lines. For Dallas Love Field, ride the Green or Orange Line to Inwood/Love Field Station and take DART's Love Link bus to the terminal.
- The AT&T Performing Arts Center box office opens 90 minutes before curtain. Hotels within a 5-minute walk give you time to walk back if you forget tickets or need to change.
- Flora Street between N Harwood and N Pearl is the district's main pedestrian corridor. Hotels on or north of Main St put you on a direct north-south path to it.
- If you stay within walking distance, you can skip paying for event parking.
- We have a separate page for eco-friendly luxury hotels in Dallas if proximity to the Arts District is not your primary filter.
