Image generated with Ai

One of the city’s most storied hotels, the Highland Dallas, has finally emerged from a years-long renovation completed in 2025. Designed by the award-winning design team at BAMO, Inc., the renovation revitalizes the 204 guestrooms, lobby and public spaces in the hotel. BAMO’s vision for the redesign began with a commitment to harmoniously integrating contemporary design with an authentic local experience that would honor both the historic and modern vibrancy of the arts that Dallas is so fiercely proud of.

The result is a space that reads as effortlessly contemporary and at the same time, uses familiar forms and materials to connect very directly to the artistic and architectural pulse of Dallas. The reward for the clever transposition of local staples like rawhide, clay and leather into the guest places, the rebar, bedrock and plantings that round the tables at Ocotillo and our materials palette at the Hotel is abundant life and the exchange among the people in it. BAMO’s design brings energy, refinement and sense of place to every nook of the hotel through sensitive material choices that evoke the natural wonders of Texas with local art to complete the expression. The design is based on both style and comfort and is a great opportunity for guests to experience the city’s creative pulse and flair.”
