Best for game weekends, families and groups who want to stay inside The Star entertainment district and be steps from the Ford Center.

Best for travelers who prefer historic downtown Dallas, museum- and theater-area access, and a traditional luxury hotel experience with on-site spa services.
When Omni Frisco Hotel at The Star wins: choose Omni Frisco if you’re attending an event at the Ford Center or want a family- and event-focused stay with an active pool deck, on-site sports-related programming, and immediate access to The Star district.
When The Adolphus wins: pick The Adolphus for downtown convenience, classic hotel architecture, multiple on-site restaurants and bars, larger formal meeting and ballroom space, and a full-service spa for relaxation after city sightseeing or business meetings.
Bottom line: both are upscale Texas hotels, but they serve different needs — Omni Frisco is contemporary and event-district oriented; The Adolphus is historic, centrally located in downtown Dallas, and oriented toward traditional luxury and meetings.
