Revamp takes The Mansion in Dallas ‘into next era’

DALLAS The Mansion on Turtle Creek restaurant here has reopened after several months of renovation to provide a more contemporary atmosphere and a more casual setting.

Rosewood Hotels & Resorts of Dallas, which owns and operates the signature 143-room property, is in the midst of a $20 million renovation of the hotel and has added its name to the marquee, making it the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek.

“The restaurant and bar are steeped in Dallas history and have served countless royalty, rock stars, presidents, professional athletes, visitors from across the globe and Dallas residents alike,” said Duncan Graham, managing director for Rosewood Mansion. “Originally built in 1925 by cotton mogul Sheppard King, The Mansion was transformed into a world-class restaurant by Caroline Rose Hunt in 1980 and has garnered numerous awards and accolades through its 27-year history. Today, that same pioneering spirit leads us into the next era, and it is evident in the new design, service and cuisine.”

The debut of the restaurant and Mansion bar renovations will be followed at the end of the year by the opening of the 20-seat, more formal Chef’s Room, overseen by chef John Tesar. It will be in the Mansion’s former library, which has been restored with a plaster ceiling, stained-glass windows and a wooden mantel. Tesar will offer a three-course prix-fixe menu and tasting menu options that include a vegetarian offering.

The new look at the Mansion’s restaurant is highlighted by sleek furnishings, contemporary fixtures and works by Texas artists. At the restaurant’s entrance, two signature grape leaf columns, original to the King home, have been enhanced with a white antique finish and gold leaf accents.

The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
