The Statler is a 234 ft, 18-story hotel building located in downtown Dallas, Texas. It is considered one of the more iconic buildings of mid-twentieth century design. It was restored in 2017 and combined with the adjacent Old Dallas Central Library building. It reopened in 2017 with hotel rooms on the first 5 floors and apartments on the top 11 floors.

Completed in 1956, it features an innovative cantilevered structural system that extends the floor 8 feet beyond interior supports. Architect William B. Tabler designed the Y-shaped tower with rows of embossed porcelain enamel panels adorning the facade, making it one of the more unique buildings in Dallas from the 1950's.

It has 710 guest rooms, and was for many years considered one of the top hotels in downtown. After leaving the Hilton chain in 1988, the hotel struggled until its closure in 2001.
