Best Hotels with a Bar near Downtown Irving Station
Downtown Irving/Heritage Crossing is a Trinity Railway Express stop on the line between Dallas Union Station and Fort Worth, and the hotels with a bar listed around it are spread wider than the station's name suggests. Most sit in Las Colinas to the north, where Omni Las Colinas Hotel, Marriott Dallas Las Colinas, Hotel Indigo Irving Las Colinas and Holiday Inn Irving - Las Colinas pair a bar with a pool. Others are near DFW Airport, such as Atrium Hotel & Suites DFW and Wyndham DFW Airport, and one, Crowne Plaza Dallas Market Ctr, is in Dallas itself. Choose by where your evening, or your flight, will be.
Irving splits into two characters. The old downtown around Heritage Crossing and Main Street is small and low-rise, served by the Trinity Railway Express, while Las Colinas to the north is a planned business district of towers around Lake Carolyn, known for the Mustangs of Las Colinas sculpture at Williams Square. DFW Airport lies to the west, and most visitors move between the three by car or DART.
Where to stay
Eight bars between Las Colinas and DFW
A hotel bar matters here because Irving is built around offices, highways and the airport rather than a walkable nightlife street. After a day of meetings in Las Colinas or a late arrival at DFW, a drink downstairs replaces a taxi to Dallas. The eight hotels on this page all list a bar, and most add a restaurant and a pool, so an evening can stay on site.
Omni Las Colinas Hotel is the address I would choose for an evening that feels like more than a nightcap. It is the most reviewed hotel in this group, with a 9 rating from 4,154 reviews, and it combines its bar with a refined restaurant, an outdoor pool, a spa and a fitness centre, a seven minute walk from the O'Connor at Las Colinas bus stop. It is pet-friendly and lists parking on site. For business travellers working in Las Colinas, it offers the fullest setting for a drink after meetings without leaving the hotel, and the spa helps after a long day.
Marriott Dallas Las Colinas is the lakefront alternative, rated 8.4 from 2,062 reviews. It lists a restaurant and bar with a Mediterranean bistro, an indoor pool, a fitness centre, full-service laundry and a business centre, and it is a three minute walk from the Las Colinas at Fuller stop. Hotel Indigo Irving Las Colinas, rated 8.8 from 259 reviews, is the smaller four-star option, with a restaurant and bar, an outdoor pool, a fitness centre and a pet-friendly policy, though its parking is charged. Both suit travellers who want a quieter bar inside the business district.
Holiday Inn Irving - Las Colinas is the practical three-star pick. It lists a restaurant and bar, an indoor pool, a hot tub, a fitness centre and free parking, three minutes on foot from the O'Connor at O'Connor Ridge stop, with a rating of 8 from 892 reviews. Near the airport, Wyndham DFW Airport adds free breakfast, a restaurant, a bar, pools, a hot tub and golf, with free parking and an airport shuttle, rated 8.4 from 575 reviews. Both are sensible bases for travellers who need a drink, a meal and a quick run to the terminals.
Three addresses deserve a closer look before booking. Atrium Hotel & Suites DFW offers a bar, an indoor pool, kitchens in some rooms, free parking and a free airport shuttle, and Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, DFW Airport South adds a heated indoor pool and a free breakfast buffet, but both are rated 7.4 or lower. Crowne Plaza Dallas Market Ctr, rated 7.4 from 3,239 reviews, is a three minute walk from Market Center in Dallas, not in Irving, so it only makes sense if your plans are in the Dallas Market Center area.
A traveler's perspectiveI recommend Omni Las Colinas Hotel for a business trip to Irving: meetings in Las Colinas during the day, then the bar, the restaurant and the outdoor pool in the evening without calling a taxi. For a quieter stay, I would choose Hotel Indigo Irving Las Colinas, smaller and well rated, still inside the business district.
