Dallas, Texas – Several hotels and resorts in North Texas have secured prominent places in Travel + Leisure’s highly anticipated 2025 World’s Best Awards, showcasing the region’s commitment to hospitality excellence. Among the winners, the Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa has claimed the position of the second-best resort in Texas, while the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center ranks fifth in the state.
This year’s awards are particularly notable, as they stem from responses gathered from over 180,000 Travel + Leisure readers and tallied a remarkable total of 657,000 votes across approximately 8,700 accommodations and properties worldwide. The rankings reflect not only the quality of service and amenities offered but also the experiences that these establishments deliver to their guests.
The Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa achieved a remarkable reader score of 93.50, although it slipped from its position as the top resort in Texas which it held the previous year. The resort, located in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, features two 18-hole championship golf courses and an amenity-rich environment that includes 500 guest rooms, ten ranch houses, four swimming pools, and a diverse selection of over a dozen dining options to cater to various tastes.
On the other hand, the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center has garnered significant positive feedback, holding an impressive average rating of 4.4 stars from over 19,000 Google reviews. Recent feedback highlights its stunning design and magnificent offerings, with one visitor describing the venue as “breathtaking.”
Additionally, the Hotel Drover in Fort Worth has been named the number one hotel in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for 2025. Remarkably, the hotel has maintained this top position for three consecutive years, despite its relatively recent opening in 2022. Hotel Drover is praised for providing guests with unique experiences that reflect Texas heritage and culture. This establishment is part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection and offers a variety of attractions, including twice-daily cattle drives, live music, and proximity to the John Wayne Museum.
Travel + Leisure’s assessments take into consideration several crucial factors, such as room quality, location, service, dining experiences, and overall value for guests. These evaluations contribute to a comprehensive understanding of what travelers seek when choosing accommodations.
