The Reigning Queen of Soul, Aretha Frankin, and her entourage departed The Stoneleigh Hotel & Spa this afternoon after enjoying various spa treatments as well as forays in Bolla and Bolla Bar. Aretha performed Wednesday night at The Nokia Theatre to a huge crowd of adoring fans all while keeping a fairly low profile in and around The Stoneleigh during her stay.

For those lucky enough to catch Chef David Bull’s live interview on WFAA’s Good Morning Texas yesterday (instead of cursing various Dallas traffic jams dotting the city), you are probably whipping up his fabulous Garden Vegetable Risotto as we speak.
For the rest of us, a link to the Good Morning Texas clip of Amy Vanderoeff’s interview with Chef Bull may be found below (along with the recipe itself on WFAA’s website).
Looks like the word is out on Bolla already–Avery Johnson was spotted last night in the dining room celebrating his birthday with friends.
After scanning the blogosphere, we here at the Stoneleigh Blog came across the Dallas Metropolis Forum, which is a handy open forum for discussing more details and updates about the Stoneleigh project.
Stay tuned to the blog, for as we approach the re-opening of the hotel we will be providing all sorts of insights into the project’s history and future. We will also be interviewing more folks who have been an important part of the hotel’s story, including Gary Bruton, the oldest running General Manager of the Stoneleigh after Colonel Stewart’s family owned the building.
More to come soon. Until then, have a Merry Christmas.
