Before I tell you about the hotel itself and my stay, it’s important for me to share a bit about its location. I fell in love with the the Irving, Texas, and Las Colinas area.

We visit Texas quite often, especially the Dallas area, because my sister lives here. But I actually didn’t know anything about this particular area until my recent visit. I was blown away by how nice it is and all that there is to do!

The Texican Court Hotel in Irving, Texas

Located in the heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, Irving, Texas, is known for its thriving business district, cultural attractions, fantastic restaurants, and live music.

However, for those seeking a more rustic and relaxed getaway in the Las Colinas area, the Texican Court Hotel offers a unique experience that blends Texan hospitality with a bit of a Palm Springs midcentury chic vibe.

The Texican Court Hotel opened in 2018 and is a boutique hotel with 152 guest rooms, each with an Instagram-worthy pink door. Aren’t they just so cute?

Inspired by the midcentury motor courts and haciendas of West Texas and Mexico, the hotel’s intentionally laidback design creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere that will have you forget that you are smack dab in the middle of a large metropolitan area!

The hotel offers easy access to major highways, such as I-635 and TX-114, and to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and Dallas Love Field, which are only 15 minutes away.  It truly is at the center of everything in the Dallas-Fort Worth area!

Las Colinas

Las Colinas, where the Texican Court is located, is a planned community within Irving, Texas, that covers an area of about 12,000 acres and features a variety of commercial and residential properties, as well as recreational areas and cultural attractions.

Developed in 1972 by cattle ranching millionaire Ben H. Carpenter, Las Colinas was originally called El Ranchito de Las Colinas, which means The Little Ranch of the Hills.

It was actually one of the very first master-planned communities in the United States and inspired much of the future urban planning in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. Every time I visit, I am just in awe of the growth in this area!

Some notable landmarks in Las Colinas include the Mandalay Canal, the Mustangs of Las Colinas sculpture, the Toyota Music Factory, and the Irving Convention Center, which hosts various events and conferences throughout the year.

Staying at the Texican Court Hotel

One of the highlights of the Texican Court Hotel is its spacious courtyards, which serve as the hotel’s central gathering points. Their unique circular pool is at the center of the courtyard-style property. The pool area is just steps away from most of the guest rooms and offers a desert oasis vibe.

The remaining space is made up of two courtyards with plenty of cozy gathering spaces, fire pits, and lawn games. It truly is a place to connect with family and friends as you enjoy smores and laughter under the warm string lights and evening stars.   

I just had a wonderful night out in the courtyards while attending the Southern Travelers Explore conference hosted at The Texican Court!

Adjacent to the courtyard is the hotel’s restaurant, Two Mules Cantina, which serves Tex-Mex cuisine and handcrafted cocktails in a casual Texan setting.

The restaurant features indoor and outdoor seating areas. And if you visit on the weekends, you can enjoy live music and a fun, festive atmosphere.

Are you craving Tequila? The hotel also has a warm and welcoming tequila bar located just across from the check-in office. On nice days, which are abundant in Texas, the doors of Salt Tequila Bar are open, offering a unique open-air ambiance. I highly recommend the Spicy Margaritas!

Other amenities at the Texican Court Hotel include a small fitness center, a business center, pet-friendly rooms, room service, and complimentary bikes to take you all around Lake Carolyn and throughout the Las Colinas areas.

My Stay at the Texican Court

A comfortable bed is very important to me when I travel. And I have to say that I found the bed incredibly comfortable and wasn’t ready to leave at the end of my four-night stay.

I ate a few different meals at Two Mules Cantina and enjoyed a couple of margaritas at the Tequila Bar.   Everything was fantastic!

My room was spotless, and the staff was always friendly and welcoming. I stayed at the Texican Court while attending the Southern Travelers Explore conference put on by Travel The South. The meeting room was perfect for our educational sessions.

I will mention that the signature orange SMEG refrigerator is fully stocked with a variety of drinks – many local to Texas. These are available for purchase mini-bar style. I heard from a few peers that they really enjoyed having these local drinks, such as Lone Star beer, available.

On the other hand, one or two mentioned they were expecting an empty refrigerator for their food and drinks. So, I wanted to give you a heads-up there.

I would stay here again and highly recommend the Texican Court Hotel to all my family and friends who want a true lone-star experience!  And after reading many Texican Court reviews prior to my trip, I believe others feel the same! 

There is a reason why Trip Advisor guests rank it #2 (of 88) hotels in Irving!
