The Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas: Las Colinas 400-acre resort palace with Knife Italian by John Tesar, championship golf, and The Ritz-Carlton Spa

Reigning with grand Texan resort palace nobility across 400 private landscaped acres along the rolling hills of Las Colinas in Irving (Dallas-Fort Worth), Texas, United States (just 10 minutes from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and 15 minutes from Downtown Dallas), The Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas opened in 2024 (following a monumental 55-million-dollar transformation of the former Four Seasons Resort at Las Colinas) as Texas’s premier luxury golf resort grand palace. Masterfully redesigned by celebrated design firms Jeffrey Beers International and ForrestPerkins, the 427-room luxury palace is centered around two championship 18-hole golf courses (including the TPC Las Colinas and Cottonwood Valley), multiple swimming pools (including a resort lagoon pool and adult pool with private cabanas), and a 14,000-square-foot sports club. Featuring the acclaimed dining institution Knife Italian by Michelin-starred celebrity Chef John Tesar, the agave bar Bar Juniper, and the palatial Ritz-Carlton Spa, this property is Texas’s ultimate luxury grand palace.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished Texas aristocratic glamour and Las Colinas splendour: liveried doormen greet guests beneath the grand cedar-and-stone porte-cochère on Las Colinas Boulevard before entering Jeffrey Beers’ soaring lobby with hand-carved limestone fireplaces, contemporary Western bronze art, and chilled Texas peach tea or tequila cocktails with warm artisanal brisket pastries. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Texas equestrian, golfing, and cultural pursuits: playing 18 championship holes on the historic TPC Las Colinas golf course (in resort), private tennis and pickleball masterclasses on indoor and outdoor courts (in resort), private shopping in nearby Highland Park Village and NorthPark Center (15 minutes away), swimming in the resort lagoon pool or relaxing in private daybed cabanas, indulging in Texas wildflower and honey therapies at The Spa, sipping artisanal margaritas at Bar Juniper, and reserving dinner at Knife Italian.

Palace living balances active Texas resort sporting with serene hill country wellness: The Ritz-Carlton Spa features private luxury treatment suites, Finnish saunas, steam rooms, outdoor whirlpools, and therapies utilizing organic Texas wildflowers, honey, and ESPA skincare. Dining is an extraordinary Texan-Italian culinary summit: dry-aged steaks and handmade pasta at Knife Italian by Chef John Tesar (featuring 240-day dry-aged Texas beef, lobster agnolotti, and international Grand Crus), casual poolside dining at Agave Pool Bar, craft cocktails at Bar Juniper, and 24-hour in-room royal dining.

Accommodations comprise 427 rooms, luxury executive suites, and standalone golf-course villas styled by Jeffrey Beers in warm leather, tailored Texas textiles, limestone accents, private furnished balconies, and floor-to-ceiling glass framing championship golf greens or resort pools ranging from 42 to 240 square metres. Each residence features plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs, embedded TV mirrors, and custom Diptyque Philosykos amenities.
