Designed to act as the social anchor for one of the city’s most dynamic districts, the new hotel brings together spirited culinary concepts, a transformative wellbeing destination, a bespoke concept store, and a collection of exclusive private residences. The project is the result of a longstanding partnership with BDT & MSD Partners alongside its distinguished collaborators: Trammell Crow Company, the Owners of Highland Park Village, and The Retail Connection. Together, these entities are actively transforming the Knox Street neighborhood into a premier, mixed-use lifestyle destination where visitors and locals alike can seamlessly live, work, and play.
The ambition behind the project has been clear from its inception. According to Sabrina Gleizer of BDT & MSD Partners, the primary goal was to establish a destination that feels authentically rooted in Dallas while seamlessly integrating into the cultural fabric of the Knox Street neighborhood. Gleizer notes that Auberge has been an exceptional partner in actualizing that vision, bringing a shared dedication to thoughtful architecture, meticulous design, highly individualized hospitality, and a deep sense of place. The development team expresses immense enthusiasm for welcoming both local residents and international travelers to experience the finished neighborhood vision firsthand.
Positioned directly along the Katy Trail, the hotel benefits from an enviable geographic footprint. Guests will enjoy immediate access to one of Dallas’s most cherished outdoor recreational havens—a popular 3.5-mile green corridor dedicated to walking, running, and biking. At the same time, stepping outside the property places visitors right in the middle of the neighborhood’s bustling, tree-lined streets, surrounded by high-end designer boutiques, celebrated restaurants, and an energetic social scene that defines modern Texas living.
Upon completion, The Knox, Auberge Collection will house 140 character-rich guestrooms and suites, complemented by 48 premier private residences. These residential spaces have been imagined by Chad Dorsey Design to extend the hotel’s sophisticated aesthetic into permanent homes. To round out the luxury offering, the property will feature a curated collection of signature dining venues, a world-class wellness center, an expansive pool garden complete with sweeping skyline views, and a versatile tapestry of dynamic social and gathering spaces designed to foster community interaction.
The guest accommodations have been thoughtfully engineered to evoke the comfort, warmth, and individuality of a private residence. Rather than adopting a standardized hotel layout, each room pairs curated fine art and custom-made furnishings with generous floor plans, luxurious marble-clad bathrooms, and inviting areas designed for relaxation and lingering. Rich textures, exceptional craftsmanship, intricate architectural detailing, and a worldly design perspective combine to cultivate an atmosphere that feels simultaneously refined and warmly welcoming.
The interiors of the hotel are spearheaded by the renowned Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, a firm celebrated for its ability to create atmospheric, narrative-driven spaces. Through their vision, every corner of the property reflects a careful balance of modern sophistication and local Texas charm. The studio’s work ensures that the hotel serves not merely as a place to sleep, but as a vibrant social hub that captures the artistic and cultural pulse of Dallas.
The property’s suites take this residential ethos a step further by offering expansive layouts equipped with distinct living and dining areas. These spaces are intentionally crafted to accommodate longer-term stays as well as intimate private entertaining. At the absolute pinnacle of the property’s accommodation lineup are the signature suites—specifically named The Manse and the Promenade Suite—which deliver an elevated, residential-style hospitality experience defined by uncompromising privacy and elevated sophistication.
Among these, the largest accommodations on-site include The Manse, which is set to feature its own private fitness space, an exclusive wellness room, a dedicated bar, a private media room, and gracious living and dining zones. Meanwhile, the Promenade Suite will boast a sprawling 2,100-square-foot private terrace. This massive outdoor extension will feature multiple dedicated dining and lounge areas, an indoor bar, and an expansive living room tailored specifically for hosting private celebrations, high-level executive gatherings, or quiet evenings under the Texas sky.
Further expanding the residential feel, the property will offer specialized two- and three-bedroom apartments. These configurations are tailored for guests planning extended visits, offering seamless indoor-outdoor living, fully equipped kitchen areas, generous shared gathering spaces, and meticulously appointed interiors that mirror the comfort of a luxury home.
For Auberge Resorts Collection, this urban launch signifies a major milestone in the brand’s strategic evolution. Christian Clerc, President and CEO of Auberge Resorts Collection, highlights that The Knox represents an exhilarating new chapter of growth as the company introduces its signature approach to hospitality into some of the world’s most dynamic urban settings. Clerc expresses immense pride in welcoming the property to the global portfolio, emphasizing that the new destination celebrates the distinct character of Dallas while delivering a deeply personal experience that remains unmistakably Auberge.
