Stoneleigh Hotel, March 15, 2008

Here is the Dallas Hat Band at the Stoneleigh Hotel. When this hotel was built in 1923, it was the tallest building in Dallas. Hard to imagine! It just re-opened after a fabulous renovation. The decor is restored to the original style and it is wonderful. Rhonda went for a 1920s look. We all wished we had one of her play cigarettes with holder.
Rhonda and Laurel chatting. After a tour of the hotel and spa, we had lunch in the restaurant, Bolla, billed as modern Italian. We sat at the Chef's Table.
Loretta and Maureen in their finery. The letters on the wall behind them spell THE and are from the original hotel sign.

Our prissy waiter invited himself into this photo. The beads above our heads are beautiful crystals chandeliers.



This was our final photo. We could not pass up the red tufted bench in the bar for a final picture.
