WHITE-HOT FAÇADES IN THE HEART OF DALLAS, TEXAS AC Hotel and Residence Inn by Marriott in Dallas makes a statement with Neolith ® exterior cladding NEOLITH For a state that experiences temperatures of over 100 degrees at least five months a year1, infrastructure that stays cool isn’t a luxury but a necessity. Texas, the second largest state in the US in terms of both area and population, requires architecture that can withstand pollution, heat and heavy footfall—all of which are major considerations for hotels in particular. In response to a need for exterior cladding that is both eye-catching and resilient, Neolith ® , a leading brand of Sintered Stone, was specified for the AC Hotel and Residence Inn Dallas by the Galleria in Texas.
