Hilton Dallas / Rockwall Lakefront

The Hilton Bella Harbor, inspired by Mediterranean architecture, exudes upscale, resort-style living in the Harbor Area of Lake Ray Hubbard. Offering 231 rooms, a 5,000 square feet full service spa, water-sports, golf, fine dining & bar, 25,000 square feet of meeting space, and breathtaking lake views. Located 22 miles east of downtown Dallas, the hotel was designed for and around water. Seventy five percent of the luxury property's rooms have a lake view, and floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the hotel frame the lakeside pool and lake views. An interior water-wall and water-like reflective surfaces with metallic-flecked granite floors and art glass chandeliers bring the sound and look of water inside. Additional custom features like a majestic, specially-designed fireplace and in-laid walls with handcrafted rosewood detail complete the experience for guests. Hilton Bella Harbor is owned by Whittle Development, Inc. and operated by Gateway Hospitality Group under a franchise license agreement with Hilton Hotels & Resorts, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hilton Hotels Corporation. Construction for the luxury property began in November of 2006, which is one of many new attractions in the Harbor District, also built by Whittle Development, Inc.
