A Legendary Art Collection

Equal parts Dallas luxury hotel and museum, the legendary Hilton Anatole Dallas houses an extensive private collection of fine art and antiques – the largest ever assembled in an American hotel. With one-of-a-kind pieces only at the Anatole hotel, many that graced the royal palaces of kings, emperors and czars from Asia and Europe, the Hilton Anatole Dallas transcends expectations and creates a legendary experience by offering Dallas visitors and residents the opportunity to admire these rare, exotic treasures.

By plugging in to AnatoleArt.com on their mobile device, guests enjoy a variety of art exploration activities, like the Top 50 Art Treasures walking tour of the hotel's 50 most iconic art pieces, a 1-Mile Art Walk for the health-conscious visitors who enjoy a brisk walk, and even two Art Scavenger Hunts; one for leisure guests that can even be done by children, and one that's business-related and draws some interesting parallels between our art collection and the business of meetings and conventions.
