"The Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek feels like a Tuscan villa -- the hotel is pink stucco, the roof is terra cotta, and beautiful fountains, tile mosaics, and trellis plants surround the pool (closed for renovations until spring 2018)"

"Among many standard amenities are 24-hour room service, 24-hour pressing service, a business center, fitness center, a swimming pool and a heated sauna"

""Oozing old money", this "luxurious" Turtle Creek landmark lures "high-end clients" with plush quarters and top-flight facilities like a "don't-miss" restaurant, an "intimate" pool and a "dark, sleepy" bar where you "can almost see the ghosts of wealthier and more powerful people sitting next to you"; service is "outstanding" as well, and though bills are "very, very expensive", most agree that stays here are the stuff of "fantasy"

"Top picks are the poolside units, especially Room #107"
