Texas summer can be a bummer, especially if you don't readily have access to a pool. Adults looking for an oasis in the middle of Dallas' concrete jungle now have a new place to cool down: the Adolphus.
As part of the historic downtown hotel's multimillion-dollar makeover, it built a brand-new pool in 2016 that's 4 feet deep and flanked by a limestone waterfall. But until this summer, it was only available to hotel guests.
Starting June 1, the outdoor pool, which is located on the seventh floor, will be open every Friday night for a series called Sundown on Seven. From 8 p.m. to midnight, locals will be able to take dip and sip on libations to the tune of DJ Souljah.
So it's not a place to lay out during the day, but hey, a nighttime swim is equally as refreshing.
Sundown on Seven happens every Friday night from June 1 through August 31. The best part: Admission is free.
While you're there, check out some of the other new or redone Adolphus spaces, such as City Hall Bistro, the venerable French Room restaurant and Otto Coffee and Fine Foods.
