Me Time in Springtime
The perfect set of plans for a solo Spring getaway in Dallas.
While a trip to Dallas sounds good in any season, there is just something special about Texas in springtime. Bluebonnets are in bloom and bustling patios are begging to be enjoyed when the temps take a turn for the warmer. There is no need to hurry inside to escape the cold or hide from the summer sun during this time of year, making it a perfect season for some solo rest and relaxation.
FRIDAY
Check in for your stay at The Kimpton Pittman Hotel
Brand new to the Deep Ellum landscape, The Kimpton Pittman Hotel is the perfect landing pad for any solo trip to Dallas. Tucked in one of Dallas' most exciting neighborhoods with immediate proximity to some of the city's best breweries, music venues and restaurants, a stay at The Kimpton Pittman Hotel is guaranteed to offer respite from the daily grind with signature mattresses, luxury linens and yoga mats in every room while keeping you close to all the action and entertainment Dallas has to offer.
Pre-dinner cocktail at Ebb & Flow
Get the lay of the land and wander over to Ebb & Flow for a fancy first look at the Deep Ellum neighborhood. A beautiful and immersive cocktail bar, Ebb & Flow's wisteria-drenched ceiling and delicious craft cocktails like the Garden Margarita create a 'wonderland' experience that sets the tone for what is sure to be the best weekend ever.
Dine at Yellow Rosa
Another hidden gem new to the Deep Ellum scene is the Yellow Rosa, a speak-easy style bar/restaurant inspired by the beaches of Tulum and the cantinas of San Miguel de Allende. This beautifully designed space has a retractable roof for the ultimate indoor/outdoor dining experience and an intimate atmosphere to keep things nice and cozy. With plenty of tacos to sample (pro tip: get the puffy taco) and a cocktail menu that is out of this world, Yellow Rosa is the perfect place to dine as a party of one.
SATURDAY
Early morning spin at Class Studios
Book an early morning spin class at one of Dallas' favorite local fitness studios at Class Studios. The friendliest staff and coolest classmates will get your day started with a sweat and smile. Be sure to book in advance as classes do fill quickly.
Brunch at HG Sply Co
A spacious patio and bustling rooftop located in lovely Lowest Greenville, HG Sply Co is a great spot to grab brunch and enjoy the beautiful spring sunshine. HG Sply offers an array of brunch options like the Huevos Rancheros or the HG Steak & Eggs that pair perfectly with a giant glass of their Elderflower Mimosas. Walk off the post-brunch bliss with window shopping and people watching along Greenville Avenue.
Book a Massage at Vivian's Spa
What better way to spend an afternoon than by indulging in some self-care from one of the sweetest spas in Dallas. Preparing body and mind for a Saturday night on the town, Vivian's Spa has a beautiful atmosphere and unique service options that allow for a calming and completely customizable experience. Choose from the Chocolate Covered Marshmallow massage, the CBD Oil Muscle Relief or stick with the classic Swedish or Deep Tissue. It is a relaxing way to celebrate with self-indulgence.
Caffeine Pick Me Up
For a post-massage pick me up before getting ready to indulge in a Saturday night in the Big D, stop by Fiction Coffee and grab a story-themed latte such as the Junie B, a cold-brew, oatmilk and juniper syrup concoction or The Star-Crossed Lover with double espresso and brown sugar syrup. This locally loved coffee shop will make you feel right at home.
Desert Racer for Dinner
A Dallas dining experience that simply cannot be missed, especially in the spring, is the beautifully eclectic restaurant and patio, Desert Racer. Currently hosting patio pop-ups with an ambience to make any Instagram highlight reel, Desert Racer is the ultimate Saturday night destination with a fun and approachable dining experience. Take advantage of the perfect weather and lounge in a beautiful outdoor space and raise a ranch water to self-love and solo vacations!
SUNDAY
Hang out at Henry's Majestic
Consistently named one of the best brunches in Dallas, Henry's Majestic is a great place to enjoy what Dallasites do best: Sunday Brunch. Treat yourself to one of their amazing brunch drinks such as a breakfast martini or a key lime mimosa and order from their extensive menu of brunchtime favorites. The Majestic Egg Double Double and the PB&J Waffles are just two of the many delicious dishes you can try.
Au Revoir at the Arboretum
Before taking off and heading back home, spend an hour our two wandering among the flowers at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. During the spring, the arboretum hosts one of the largest floral festivals in the Southwest, Dallas Blooms. A treat for the senses, feast your eyes on hundreds of thousands of tulips, azaleas and other brightly hued springtime blooms. Sit down for a spell on the lawn overlooking White Rock Lake and the Dallas skyline and take time to reflect on a weekend well spent!
