The Renaissance Dallas Hotel is a skyscraper in Dallas, Texas. The building rises 451 feet (138 meters). It contains 29 floors, and was completed in 1983. The Renaissance Hotel currently stands as the 24th-tallest building in the city. The architect who designed the building was Dahl Braden Chapman.

The Renaissance Dallas Hotel holds the world's largest free-standing chandelier in the world. The spiral chandelier, located in the hotel's lobby, rises 3 stories in height. The hotel is also known for its distinctive elliptical shape and diagonal roofline. The slanted roofline provides for a large curtain wall. This shelters the building's open-air rooftop swimming pool, which is one of the highest pools in Dallas. The building's unique design led to it being prominently featured in a cover image of a 1984 issue of National Geographic.
