Commerce Street and The Adolphus

An upscale hotel and Dallas Landmark in the Main Street District of downtown, Hotel Adolphus (The Adolphus) was the tallest building in the state for many years. A baroque masterpiece, it has been a legendary historic Dallas hotel since 1912, when it was erected by St. Louis beer baron Adolphus Busch as a luxury palace worthy of the Lone Star State. The style, elegance and grandeur of the 21-story Beaux Arts building have earned it acclaim as “the most beautiful building west of Venice.”
