In the Dallas Design District, design isn’t confined to showrooms, and hospitality isn’t limited to the dining table. Here, the two move hand in hand, shaping a neighborhood that’s as inspiring as it is indulgent.

Take SEES Design, where every space tells a story. Known for their layered, lived-in approach, SEES crafts interiors that blend sophistication with bold, collected character. It’s a perfect reflection of the District itself, a place where creativity lives in every detail.
Sharing that same home is Duro Hospitality, the group behind some of Dallas’ most unforgettable dining rooms. At The Charles, chandeliers glow, textures play with light and shadow, and every banquette feels like an invitation to linger. And just steps away, El Carlos Elegante brings its own rhythm, bold Latin flavors, vibrant greenery, and interiors that merge with warmth and liveliness.

At their core, both SEES and Duro believe the details make the difference. For SEES, it’s about creating rooms that feel collected and enduring, spaces designed for real life rather than perfection.
For Duro, it’s about restaurants where the atmosphere is inseparable from what’s on the plate, where lighting, sound, and flavor come together in one moment. The result is the same: environments that stay with you, long after the doors close.

By planting these destinations in the Dallas Design District, Duro Hospitality has added more than dining rooms to the map. They’ve created spaces that embody the same artistry and intention that define the neighborhood itself.
Together, SEES Design and Duro Hospitality capture what makes the Dallas Design District unlike anywhere else. They blur the boundaries between dining and design, proving that both are acts of storytelling. A showroom visit can spark as much inspiration as a dinner reservation; a well-crafted interior can be just as memorable as a perfectly plated dish.
Because in the Design District, design and hospitality don’t simply coexist; they evolve together, hand in hand.
