The Anatole Hotel was developed in the late 1970s by Trammell Crow as part of his huge Dallas Market Center complex . The hotel , named after a restaurant Crow favored in Copenhagen , opened in 1979 as the Loews Anatole Hotel , with 1,000 rooms in two pyramid-topped buildings . In 1981 , a 27-story tower containing 700 rooms , a ballroom , meeting space , shops , a health club , and a seven-acre garden was added to the hotel . Also in 1984 , the hotel served as the headquarters for the Reagan-Bush '84 campaign staff during the Republican National Convention in Dallas . In 1995 Wyndham Hotels , a company owned by the Crow family , took over management of the hotel , renaming it the Wyndham Anatole Hotel and expanding the meeting facilities . It was the largest hotel in the South until the opening of the Sheraton Dallas Hotel in 1998
