The Westin Dallas Stonebriar Golf Resort & Spa is one of those spots that has everything a family needs for a quick staycation. Amazing pool? Check. Great food? Check. A location that’s a few minutes away from fantastic family fun? Check! I recently spent a weekend at this popular North Texas hotel, and if you need a way to beat the heat and get the kids out of a summer slump, this is the place to do it.

Why the Westin Dallas Stonebriar Golf Resort & Spa Is Perfect for Families

With a 200-foot elongated lagoon-style pool, a waterslide, hot tub, lounge chairs, and cabanas, plus refreshing drinks and yummy snacks from the poolside bar, Ranch Water, the Westin is the ideal resort for a relaxing pool day with the kids. If they need a break from swimming, they can head to the event lawn to play cornhole, giant Jenga, checkers, or just toss a ball around.

The lobby is spacious and welcoming. That’s where you’ll find Beans & Barrel, a cafe that offers breakfast fare and Starbucks coffee in the morning and cocktails and light snacks, oftentimes alongside live music, in the evening. There’s even a grab-and-go section if you’re in a hurry to explore the area or hit the green for a round of golf.

If you want to enjoy something on the finer side, take the time to dine at Herd & Hearth. This American-style restaurant offers everything from Texas-inspired cuisine like smoked brisket sandwiches to small shareable plates.

This resort is centrally located to Plano, Frisco, and The Colony—entertainment and dining hubs Grandscape, Legacy West, Legacy Food Hall, Stonebriar Centre, and The Star are around five miles away, which means whether you’ve got a foodie, a fashionista, or a football fanatic, there’s something for everyone.
