Getting between your hotel and the Southwest Dental Conference
- All five hotels are on Market Center Boulevard or North Stemmons Freeway, a short walk from the Anatole.
- The walking routes from these hotels to the Anatole run mostly on footpaths, with a short stretch of the Trinity Strand Trail. Bring comfortable shoes, and after dark a rideshare is the easier choice.
- Rideshare pickup at the Anatole can back up at the end of full conference days. A 6-to-10-minute walk to your hotel beats a 15-minute wait in the queue.
- Parking at the Anatole is available but priced for convention guests. If you drive to Dallas, check whether your hotel offers free or discounted self-parking.
Southwest Dental Conference hotels: what the Market Center district is like
The Market Center district is a commercial and convention corridor, not a walkable neighborhood in the traditional sense. You can walk to the Hilton Anatole and a handful of restaurants on Market Center Boulevard, but you'll need a car or rideshare for dinner beyond that strip.
North Stemmons Freeway (I-35E) runs directly past the Anatole and all five hotels, so expect road noise. Ask for a higher floor or a room facing away from the freeway if that bothers you.
The upside is that the freeway also makes Love Field Airport a 10-minute drive and downtown Dallas about 15 minutes by car.
