Holiday fun at the Hilton Anatole

Just minutes from the Dallas Design District, the Hilton Anatole is your go-to for a quick, fun getaway with family or friends. But come holiday season, it’s the stuff Christmas dreams are made of. This year, the hotel is pulling out all the stops, transforming into a Bavarian holiday wonderland with a side of Texas flair. Think cozy European Christmas market vibes, glowing lights, breakfast with Santa and a few surprises that’ll keep everyone—from the little elves to the grown-up kids—grinning ear to ear.

Forget the passport and freezing temps; the Anatole’s Bavarian Village is your ticket to a Euro-style Christmas market, right here in Dallas. You’ll find twinkling lights, artisanal crafts and seasonal treats that’ll make you feel like you’ve walked straight into a holiday postcard. Whether you’re on the hunt for last-minute gifts or just soaking in the holiday cheer, the vibe is pure magic.

For a bit more action after wandering through the Bavarian Village, a ticket to the grand Ferris wheel lets you soar high above the action, giving you epic views of both the hotel bedecked grounds and the Dallas skyline. Romantic escape? Fun for the whole family? This Ferris wheel has all the holiday feels.

Of course, no Bavarian holiday is complete without a Christmas tree, and the Anatole’s got you covered with a Christmas Tree Maze. Get lost in a sea of sparkling decorations and dazzling lights—ideal for adventurers of all ages and anyone with a soft spot for some old fashioned festive fun.

For those who like their holiday thrills a little faster, the 40-foot Snowy Summit Slide is bound to deliver some serious excitement. Feel the rush as you zip down this towering slide after taking in the views from above. Throw in a little who’s-the-fastest challenge with your friends or little ones and you’ve got yourself some exhilarating holiday memories.

Perhaps the highlight of any holiday celebration is a visit with Santa Claus himself. The Anatole’s Breakfast with Santa experience is your chance to catch up with the Big Man in Red himself while indulging in a gourmet breakfast fit for Christmas morning. Available to book on weekends November 30 to December 22 plus December 23 and 24, this is the Texas-sized version of a North Pole breakfast.

While you’re hopping from one holiday activity to the next, don’t forget to pause for some Instagrammable moments. The hotel's holiday décor is next-level, with spectacular backdrops perfect for group photos.

And after all the holiday excitement, you’ll be able to retreat to your cozy room or suite for some R&R, or treat yourself to a massage or facial at the Anatole’s luxe spa—because even Santa needs a break sometimes.

To experience the best of this Bavarian wonderland, go all in with the Christmas at the Anatole package. With early check-in, free parking and tickets to the Ferris wheel, Tree Maze and Snowy Summit Slide, it’s the ultimate holiday staycation for locals or visitors looking to soak in every bit of Christmas magic. This is one holiday glow-up you won’t want to miss.
