The Clara Hotel Plano, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
Loft-style rooms with a courtyard fire pit
Plano, Plano
About this stay
The Clara Hotel is Plano's one genuine design-forward stay, with loft-style rooms and suites showcasing exposed brick, polished concrete floors and local Texas artwork rather than a standardized chain layout. The 6,000-square-foot Courtyard social area centers on a heated outdoor pool and fire pit, with an outdoor stage used for parties, and The Loft restaurant serves American cuisine in an upscale setting alongside a lounge with a library and game room. A state-of-the-art fitness centre and sauna round out the wellness side, a rarity among Plano's mostly gym-only competitors. Addison Airport sits 15 minutes' drive away, and Stonebriar Shopping Center is 2 miles out (daily happy hour specials at the bar add a social anchor to every evening).

Our take
This is the only genuinely boutique, design-forward stay in Plano's inventory, and the sauna alongside the fitness centre is a real wellness differentiator nobody else in the corridor offers. The Courtyard fire pit makes evenings here memorable. Guests wanting a full kitchen for a longer relocation stay should look toward the extended-stay suite brands elsewhere in Plano instead.
- Use Addison Airport instead of Dallas Love Field if flying in, it sits a genuinely shorter 15-minute drive from the hotel.
- Book a Courtyard-facing room for the fire pit and pool views, the property's most distinctive design feature by far.
- Try the sauna after the fitness centre, a rare pairing among Plano's otherwise gym-only wellness amenities in this corridor.

Why guests love itThe Clara Hotel Plano is a boutique alternative to the extended-stay chains, with loft-style rooms in exposed brick and local Texas artwork. For families, the heated outdoor pool and the fire pit are the useful parts, while the sauna is one for parents. Dr Pepper Ballpark, home of the Frisco RoughRiders, is 2 miles away. The 7.2 score from 196 reviews is modest, so I would choose it for its style rather than its consistency. Pets are accepted.
