The Lumen

The Lumen has been turned from a quaint 1960s motel into a mid-century getaway in an exceptional location right across from Southern Methodist University (SMU), along a tree lined Highland Park neighborhood border. The hotel is two blocks west of I-75 / Central Expressway and a few miles from the Dallas North Tollway, if urban adventure calls (and we are sure it will). This boutique hotel features a private pool area for guests only, a four-star restaurant called The Front Room Tavern, free Wi-Fi, a fitness center, and enough indoor and outdoor event space to hold a graduation party, game day celebrations, cocktail receptions, weddings, and more. The Lumen offers bespoke event planning and catering services for everything from social gatherings to corporate meetings. Catering from The Front Room Tavern provides a fascinating location and event with over 1550 square feet of flexible meeting space and over 4,800 square feet of outdoor function area. Throughout the hotel, the Lumen offers a variety of flexible setup choices that are excellent for both corporate and social events. One of the genuinely unusual areas is the Lumen pool, which boasts a smart modular covering and acrylic glass floor above the pool, allowing you to enclose and alter the setting into a magnificent gathering space of your own design. Do you like an open, airy setting for your rehearsal dinner or post wedding brunch? The Pool, as well as The Terrace on the 4th level, offer amazing views of Southern Methodist University and Downtown Dallas.
