The trend of “staycations” or vacationing within one’s own region/city is on the rise due to several factors, one of the biggies being gas prices (conveniently also on the rise). As many of us prepare to venture to a sandy retreat for the summer, some are seeking a more comopolitan route closer to home.

So forget the inflatable pool and lawn dart tournament (your neighbors will thank you) and make a break for an escape in your own backyard (almost).

Pandering to Dallas-ites and aspiring Dallas-ites alike, The Stoneleigh made a splash in Travel & Leisure’s Hot Deals section this week with their Dallas Does Decadence package. The Stoneleigh’s package features a luxury getaway (Chauffeured transportation, Dallas Museum of Art tickets, a personal shopper and Neiman’s goodie bag included) starting at $239. Package details and booking.
