The Madison Hotel at Bishop Arts
Bishop Arts's top-rated stay for a golf trip
About this hotel
The Madison Hotel at Bishop Arts carries the highest review score of any property near Cedar Crest Park, a 9.6 built on a relatively small but clearly satisfied guest base of 233 reviews. Free Wi-Fi and free parking cover the essentials, and the neighborhood setting puts the hotel inside walking distance of Restaurant Beatrice, four minutes away, for a dinner that never requires a car. Its Bishop Arts location trims the drive to Cedar Crest Park compared to the wider downtown cluster across the Trinity River, and the seven-minute taxi to Dallas Zoo gives a non-golf afternoon a clear option. Kid-friendly and smoke-free policies round out a property built for a range of golf-trip travelers. Compare it against similarly priced neighbors before booking, since the wider downtown cluster offers real variety at this tier.

Our take
The Madison Hotel earns its top review score honestly, and it is the clear pick for a group prioritizing quality over sheer amenity count near Cedar Crest Park. The smaller room inventory means booking early matters more here than at the larger downtown properties nearby. Groups prioritizing a shorter drive to Cedar Crest Park itself should still weigh this stay against the Bishop Arts cluster before booking.
- Book well ahead of peak season, since a 9.6 review score on a smaller property fills the limited room inventory fast.
- Walk to Restaurant Beatrice for dinner at least once during the stay; it sits just four minutes from the front door.
- Confirm room type at booking, since a smaller property like this often has fewer configurations than the downtown cluster's larger hotels.
Why we love it

Why guests love itWe booked The Madison mostly on its review score, and it lived up to expectations across our whole stay near Cedar Crest Park. Restaurant Beatrice covered two dinners on foot, and the shorter drive to the course each morning was a genuine improvement over a previous downtown stay we had done the year before. Rooms felt well cared for throughout. It was not the most memorable stay of the trip, but it handled the basics well across several nights.
