How we ranked hotels near Union Station Dallas
Walking distance led the ranking. Union Station Dallas is at 400 South Houston Street. When two hotels are about the same distance, the higher star rating goes first, and within the same star rating, the higher guest score. Shuttle service and sustainability credentials settled the closest calls.
We started with the hotels we work with. We left out anything with a guest score below 7 or no verifiable booking presence, and the CozySuites short-term rental units, which don't have a hotel's consistent front-desk service.
