The French Room in Dallas receives AAA Five Diamond Award for 2011
AAA has recently awarded 179 establishments the AAA/CAA Five Diamond
Award® for 2011. The AAA award listing accounts for only 0.3 percent
of the total 59,000 AAA listed lodgings and restaurants that receive the
prestigious honor. “It is encouraging to see an increase in the number
of AAA Five Diamond establishments this year,” said Michael Petrone,
director of AAA Tourism Information Development. “The recent economic
downturn has presented many challenges for the travel industry including
increased closures and fewer new restaurant openings."

Congratulations go to The
French Room restaurant located in The Adolphus in Dallas and featured
here at Southpoint.
The
Adolphus Hotel
The
Adolphus is a museum unto itself, and includes a rare 1893 Steinway
piano which was destined for the R.M.S. Titanic. The piano was owned by
the millionaire Benjamin Guggenheim, who died after refusing to get into
one of the few available lifeboats just before the Titanic sank in 1912.
Watch
in February as we visit The French Room in a new expanded feature.
