Getting between your hotel and the Southwest Dental Conference
- All five hotels are on Market Center Boulevard or North Stemmons Freeway, which runs parallel to the Anatole's main entrance: - You walk along the service road rather than crossing the freeway. - The route stays on one side of the highway the entire way. - No pedestrian bridge or underpass crossing is required.
- The Market Center district has limited pedestrian infrastructure after dark. Bring comfortable shoes and use the well-lit service road rather than cutting through surface parking lots.
- Rideshare pickup at the Anatole can back up at the end of full conference days. A 4-6 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, which several properties on this list do.
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. Travelers get quick access to the Hilton Anatole and a handful of restaurants along Market Center Boulevard, but need a car or rideshare for dinner options beyond the immediate strip.
North Stemmons Freeway (I-35E) runs directly past the Anatole and all five hotels, which means road noise is a factor. Travelers should ask for a room on a higher floor or facing away from the freeway if that matters to them.
The upside is that the freeway also makes Love Field Airport a 10-minute drive and downtown Dallas about 15 minutes by car.
