These five hotels sit within 1 mile of CityPlace/Uptown DART Station on Harry Hines Blvd and Oak Grove Ave, giving you direct access to the Red and Orange Lines without a car. Each property was selected based on verified walking distance, DART connectivity, star rating, and confirmed 2026 operating status. The list covers a range of segments, from a full-service Hilton brand hotel to a boutique bed-and-breakfast, so travelers at different price points all have a workable option.
How we ranked these hotels near CityPlace/Uptown DART Station
Walking distance to CityPlace/Uptown DART Station on the Red and Orange Lines was the primary ranking factor. Where two hotels fell within 0.1 miles of each other, the higher star rating broke the tie. Star rating served as the next tiebreaker, with sustainability credentials as a secondary factor at that stage.
All eight candidate properties were cross-checked against current Google Maps listings, brand websites, and Dallas business records to confirm they are operating under the stated name in 2026. Two nearby properties, SOVA Micro-Room & Social Hotel and Hilton Garden Inn Downtown Dallas, were excluded because they fall beyond the 1-mile threshold and offer weaker transit convenience relative to the five selected. The Warwick Melrose at 3015 Oak Lawn Ave was also excluded: at 1.367 miles from the station it ties La Quinta on distance but sits on Oak Lawn Ave rather than the Central Expressway corridor, making the walk less direct.
For airport connections, the Orange Line runs from CityPlace/Uptown north through downtown and out to DFW Airport (DFW) with no transfer required. Reaching Dallas Love Field (DAL) requires a transfer at Bachman Station to the Green Line or a bus connection, adding roughly 15 to 20 minutes.

Neighborhood context: Uptown Dallas around the station
CityPlace/Uptown DART Station sits at the northern edge of Uptown Dallas, where the neighborhood transitions toward the Knox-Henderson corridor. The blocks immediately around the station are mixed-use, with mid-rise residential towers, a Whole Foods Market, and several restaurant strips along Cole Ave and McKinney Ave.
The Canopy by Hilton sits closest to the station at 2950 Cityplace W Blvd, roughly a 7-minute walk. Greenhouse Uptown on Cole Ave is a 14-minute walk through a walkable residential stretch. The Quality Inn and La Quinta both sit on North Central Expressway, which is a wider arterial road, so those walks involve crossing more traffic lanes even though the distances are comparable.
For travelers who want to explore Uptown on foot, the McKinney Ave Trolley (M-Line) runs parallel to the DART corridor and connects the station area to the West Village and the Arts District at no charge, giving you a second transit option without touching your DART pass.

How do I reach Dallas Love Field from these hotels?＋
Take the Red or Orange Line south from CityPlace/Uptown to Bachman Station, then transfer to the Green Line toward Dallas Love Field. The total trip runs 35 to 45 minutes depending on wait times. A rideshare from Uptown to Love Field takes about 15 minutes and may be faster if you have a tight connection.
Do any of these hotels offer a shuttle to CityPlace/Uptown DART Station?＋
None of the five hotels on this list offer a confirmed shuttle to the station. Greenhouse Uptown's shuttle status is unverified, so call the property before your stay if that matters to you. For the hotels on N Central Expy, a rideshare to the station costs roughly $5 to $8 and takes 3 to 4 minutes.
Which DART lines serve CityPlace/Uptown Station?＋
The Red Line and Orange Line both stop at CityPlace/Uptown. The Red Line runs south to downtown Dallas Union Station and north toward Mockingbird Station. The Orange Line follows the same downtown corridor but continues northwest to DFW Airport. Both lines operate from roughly 5 a.m. to midnight on weekdays.
Is the walk from N Central Expy hotels to the station safe and practical with luggage?＋
The sidewalks along N Central Expy between the Quality Inn and La Quinta and the station are highway-adjacent and not well-suited for luggage. A 3 to 4 minute rideshare is the practical choice. The walk from Canopy by Hilton and Greenhouse Uptown is a different story: those routes use residential streets and are manageable with a rolling bag.
