I had a group of about 20 people stay at the Lumen so we would be close to SMU for our meetings. We were there between 3 and 5 mights. I worked with the staff ahead of time and found them very accomodating. Once we arrived, the staff was very friendly and attentive. I believe all in our group were... More

Spent a night at the Hotel Lumen Dallas this past week with two colleagues for business. As a building there is not much very unique about the property. Its an old Ramada Inn that has been redone as a Kimpton but it lacks the quirky edge of most other properties. Not to worry though, there is a major expansion and... More

My husband and I spent the weekend of New Year's Eve at Lumen both for the holiday and his birthday. As we are familiar with Dallas (he went to college there), we have stayed at many different hotels with different price points. Lumen was one of the more expensive and worst overall experience. We were awakened before 8 a.m. Saturday... More

This is a great location just outside the SMU campus and a few blocks from the North Dallas Tollway. The staff were fantastic! The best I have ever met in regards to attentiveness and friendliness. The rooms were the smallest and oddest I have ever experienced at a Kimpton property. Room 205 was small and you were required to stand... More

The hotel works beautifully if you have a new student at SMU. Other wise, it's OK. The shower is nice, but the rooms are small. The suites work well to keep a student in your living room if you want them in with you. If you aren't doing womething with the school, then there are better places for better prices... More

My daughter and I stayed here the night before a visit to the SMU campus. The hotel could not be more convenient - it is literally across the street from the University. The city was blazing hot while we were there (110 degrees during the day and 100 at 11pm!!) - the air conditioning worked beautifully - no problems! We... More

We booked the Hotel Lumen on a lark, never staying a Kimpton property before. We were pleasantly surprised by both the staff and the hotel. Our room was fantastic! Huge shower and a very comfortable bed. The staff was welcoming and fun. The location is perfect, right across from SMU and convenient to downtown and everything in Dallas. Only a... More

I have stayed at the Hotel Lumen numerous times for short and longer stays. The staff is top-notch. It's small overall size reminds me of a European property, but the rooms are large, comfortable and clean. And it's pretty easy to get a good deal on rooms and I have often gotten an upgrade. The location is awesome, it's in... More

Hotel Lumen was very welcoming. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We spent the day on campus and were allowed to keep our car parked in the garage. Our room was spacious (especially the bathroom) and comfortable, with free wifi, two flat screens, and a kitchenette (refrigerator, microwave, and full kitchen sink) but no dishes, silverware, etc.. The... More
