At first, the stark white walls surprised me, but it clicked after I spoke with Casa Duro partner Corbin See: “We wanted to create an environment that feels curated and collected rather than decorated.” It does. Once you cross over the brick threshold (peep the “Dallas” stamp) and take in the mix of patterns, wood stains, and eras—think an ornate pine table, a dresser with an Asian motif, and a sofa reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright—you see the brand’s vision for a laid-back, worldly apartment in the urban core.

The three suites that make up the boutique property each have pillowtop king beds, full kitchens, living rooms, and Juliet balconies. I stayed in The Marcia, which is technically a two-bedroom, but one room was converted into a dining room that seats eight—and that’s another clue. The hotel falls under the umbrella of Duro Hospitality, one of Dallas’s hippest restaurant groups. They have seven concepts and almost half as many Michelin Guide nods (Casa Duro earned a coveted One Key in 2024).

If you really want to live (and eat) like a savvy local, it’s hard to beat this boutique hotel on Lower Greenville. Located above not one but two award-winning culinary concepts—Sister and Café Duro—Casa Duro’s three apartment-style suites feature pillowtop king beds, full kitchens, living rooms, and Juliet balconies. The Marcia room takes it a step further with a private dining room for eight. Antique furnishings and gourmet room service are the cherry on top. —T.E.

Duro Hospitality is a restaurant group that mainly aligns itself with high-end domains such as The Charles and Sister, and is seeking more endeavors to expand their production. The hospitality group is making great strides as it plans to open three new restaurant innovations including a three-room hotel soon-to-be known as Casa Duro and a cafe market named Cafe Duro in close proximity to Sister on Lower Greenville.

Café Duro will soon open next to Sister as a coffee shop and Italian market with pre-cut meets, paninis, and pastries. Next, the hospitality group is taking ownership of the historic site of the former Highland Park Soda Fountain on Knox Street, with plans to debut a new restaurant this fall — more to come on that later. And lastly, an unnamed concept is headed for the corner of Cole and Riverfront in the Design District in mid-2022.

Cafe Duro is an Italian market and cafe next door to Sister on Greenville Avenue in East Dallas. It’s a tiny place, at 900 square feet. After it opens in the next few months, customers can expect to find sandwiches, coffee and wine. Those who love the food at The Charles and Sister will also be happy to find pre-made pastas, charcuterie, cheese and pastries from those restaurants.
