PUBLISHER’S NOTE

ISSUE 39: SPRING 2021

WELCOME I

suspect that there are few among us who remain untouched by the worldwide pandemic. Nothing associated with it is a given, and certainly so much has come at such a high price for Americans. By now we have all read stories of the courageous efforts of our devoted medical personnel on the front lines of an epidemic, the first responders who continually put their own live at risk on behalf of complete strangers. I am proud to say that DFW has been a leading example in these areas.

Photo - Chip Richie

Almost every phase of our lives has been disrupted over the past few months, including our publishing cycle. With that in mind, allow us to offer a break from the difficult news cycle with this new edition of Dallas Hotel Magazine, which we dedicate to the heroes in our community. Thank you all for your courage, and commitment. Our Fashion/Lifestyle editor, Holly Haber, knows Dallas like the back of her hand, especially when it comes to one of the area’s defining characteristics: shopping! In our cover story, Holly takes you through the top destinations around the area and uncovers a few exciting up and coming boutiques and unique hot spots that will help you shop ‘til you drop.

Carl Allen is the rarest of sportsmen. He’s a big game hunter, an angler and ardent Texas conservationist. He made his fortune in manufacturing then sold the company. Since then Carl’s been immersed (literally!) in what may be his greatest passion ever: treasure hunting on the high seas. Climb aboard for a close-up look. In an all-new Live Like a Local segment we take a micro view of one of Dallas’ coolest urban neighborhoods. Deep Ellum is anything but ordinary. We’ll explain the amazing history that got it started, as well as where it’s headed. We love Lone Star music. That’s why we’ve profiled some of the most prolific Lone Star artists who’ve left their mark on our musical consciousness including Steve Miller, Joe Ely, Michael Martin Murphey, LeeAnn Rimes and more. With this issue we enter the word of Texas Music Hall of Fame artist Monte Warden. His kitschy band, The Wagoneers, is one of the state’s favorite rockabilly groups. But Warden is taking a risky new musical step and explains it all in a special profile by David Muscari. Finally, this issue’s Parting Shot comes from veteran Texas journalist John McCaa, who worked in Dallas for many years. He offers an inspirational moment of clarity on our post-pandemic city.

A significant part of our publication’s legacy is about supplying readers with details on a series of events each month designed to assist in filling up social calendars. There is always something to do in our area. Check out all the concerts, festivals, dance, Broadway performances and more unfolding on stages all over north Texas, scheduled on nearly every night of the week. We have plenty of schedules for you to peruse. We also provide details on a wide selection of chic restaurants, super cool local watering holes, extraordinary shopping, and more. And, as always, stay safe and healthy, and by all means enjoy this brand new edition of Dallas Hotel Magazine, with our compliments. It’s the “definitive guide for discerning visitors to Big D”

Santa Lucia Preserve

A mere three miles from beautiful Carmelby-the-Sea, California, seven miles from world-famous Pebble Beach, and a two-hour drive from San Francisco lies Santa Lucia Preserve, a hidden 20,000-acre community, home to 300 families.

coastal wilderness while offering breathtaking ocean views high atop the Santa Lucia Mountains. Whether it’s teeing it up on a Top 100 golf course, kayaking on Moore’s Lake, or exploring the wild on horseback, marvelous adventures await.

The Preserve is a community where you come to disconnect and recharge, a unique, untroubled refuge for families to create and capture memorable moments. This year-round outdoor play ground makes the most of secluded

“The Preserve is a perfect vacation spot for our family,” said one member from Texas. “We love the mild climate, the sunshine, and ranch-style living without the maintenance. Here, we find a sense of community and easy access through the Monterey Regional Airport.”

The seeds for Santa Lucia Preserve were planted 30 years ago when developers announced plans for a “community preserve,” an economically viable way to protect the beauty and history of the land with emphasis on preserving its natural splendor. Embracing the dedication to conservation, community, and culture, The Preserve’s development footprint comprises just 2,000 acres, including homes, homesites, golf course, clubs, and nearly 100 miles of trails. Custom-designed homes feature unique and often award-winning architecture in a variety of styles built to complement the landscape. Green design and sustainable building are highly encouraged.


Abundant wildlife makes its home in this natural paradise, surrounded by old growth redwood groves, oak-studded mountains, grassy meadows, and flowing streams. Even playing The Preserve Golf Club has been compared to “enjoying a hike through nature with a golf club in your hand.” Golf course architect Tom Fazio created a stunning layout that offers a challenge, while showcasing wideopen views of the mountains, mammoth oaks, and resident wildlife.

Santa Lucia Preserve gives members and their families opportunities to slow down and immerse in nature. Among the community’s many amenities are The Preserve Golf Club, a premier multi-discipline equestrian center, and a choice of dining venues at the Hacienda and Golf Clubhouse—famous for pairing regional wines with local, organic cuisine.

There are no limits here - be it dining al fresco in the courtyard of the 1920’s-era Hacienda, fishing in Moore’s Lake with the grandkids, or hiking with a wildflower expert. No matter the season, The Preserve’s climate provides a

Whether purchasing a home or building your own, a wide range of ‘resident services’ are available to support full-time residents as well as owners from afar. Membership opportunities are available to both residents and non-residents alike and The Preserve is

“It really is a mind-boggling piece of property,” Fazio says. “You just seem to have the world to yourself here.” The course has been honored with inclusion on Golf Digest’s America’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses since 2005. For equestrian enthusiasts, trails run deep into the Santa Lucia Mountains. Professional wranglers offer daily trail rides and Preserve-owned horses are available for members and guests to ride. And when you’re away, rest easy knowing your favorite horse is in extremely capable and caring hands.

Nearly all the annual rain – 27 inches on average – falls between early November and late April. It’s truly a climate that lends itself to year-round outdoor enjoyment of all kinds. The Santa Lucia Preserve is committed to living up to its name, maintaining the land and the traditions as heirlooms to be passed down for ages.
