As Dallas, Texas, takes center stage this summer as a host city for the FIFA World Cup—welcoming nine matches, more than any other city in the tournament—The Adolphus Hotel is celebrating with a series of globally inspired experiences that invite guests to travel the world without leaving downtown Dallas.
From June 11 through July 19, the landmark hotel will offer several limited-time activations inspired by cultures and cuisines from around the globe.
Tea du Monde

Inspired by destinations around the world, Tea du Monde will be held in The French Room, long revered for its traditional afternoon tea service. The curated menu features savory bites such as Salpicão de Frango (Brazil), Yuzu Egg Salad Croissants (Japan), and Olive and Smoked Paprika Muffins (Spain), alongside house-made scones, fresh tea cakes, and pastries including Alfajores (Argentina) and Chajá Cake (Uruguay). Each course is paired with carefully selected teas, with champagne available upon request. Reservations are available for $75 per person and can be made here.

With Dallas serving as a major hub for this summer’s FIFA World Cup, The Adolphus offers a way to experience the international spirit of the tournament beyond the stadium. Whether stopping in for afternoon tea, lingering over dinner, or grabbing a globally inspired waffle before exploring the city, guests can enjoy a taste of the world in the heart of downtown Dallas. For longtime fans of the hotel, it’s also another opportunity to step inside the storied spaces that have become synonymous with Dallas hospitality—the setting for our recent conversation with Connie Forbin, who spent nearly four decades welcoming guests to The French Room.
