About the Location
Built in the 1920s, the neo-Gothic landmark building at 1530 Main Street in Dallas, TX, was originally the Dallas National Bank. It dominated the downtown skyline during a thriving era of Dallas banking and West Texas oil booms. After a period of decline, a decade of development deals and massive renovations transformed the then-vacant bank building into The Joule, a Forbes four-star boutique hotel. Aptly named after the international unit of energy, The Joule brought a charge to downtown Dallas when it opened in 2008. Through further renovations and expansions, The Joule has become a cultural, shopping, and dining destination—a forerunner in the renaissance of downtown Dallas.
