Every hotel on this page connects to a brand or parent company that holds active B-Corp certification through B Lab. B-Corp certification is awarded to companies that meet verified standards across worker treatment, environmental impact, community engagement, and governance — and the certification lives at the company level, not at an individual property. That distinction matters: when you stay at one of these hotels, you benefit from the certified company's standards, but the building itself does not hold an independent B-Corp certificate. Only hotels whose parent brand or company carries a current, verified B-Corp certification from B Lab appear here.
How B-Corp certification applies to hotels
B Lab does not certify hotel buildings. It certifies companies. So when a hotel group earns B-Corp status, every property operating under that brand benefits from the certified company's commitments, but each property does not go through its own B Impact Assessment. This means the credential you see attached to a hotel on this page reflects the parent brand's score and accountability standards, applied across its portfolio.
For travelers, this still carries weight. A certified parent company has agreed to legal governance changes, passed third-party verification, and committed to recertification every three years. That is a higher bar than a hotel simply calling itself 'green' or displaying a self-reported sustainability badge.
B-Corp certified hotels in Dallas: what the list covers
Dallas has a large hotel market, but B-Corp certified hotel brands with confirmed Dallas properties are rare as of 2026. The certification requires companies to restructure legal governance and pass rigorous third-party review, which limits how many hospitality groups pursue it.
One hotel in Dallas connects to a verified B-Corp certified brand: 1 Hotels, whose parent company SH Hotels and Resorts holds B-Corp certification. The 1 Hotel Turtle Creek opened in Dallas and operates under SH Hotels and Resorts' certified framework. Details appear in the hotel card below.

What to ask before booking a 'sustainable' hotel
- Ask which specific certification the brand or parent company holds, and who issued it. Self-reported sustainability claims carry no third-party verification.
- Check whether the certification is current. B-Corp requires recertification every three years, so a certification awarded in 2018 may have lapsed.
- Look for property-level credentials like LEED or Green Key alongside brand-level B-Corp status. The two layers together give a fuller picture.
- We have a separate page for LEED-certified hotels in Dallas if you want to compare property-level green building credentials alongside brand-level certifications.
FAQs
Common Questions
No. B Lab certifies companies, not individual buildings. SH Hotels and Resorts, the parent company of the 1 Hotels brand, holds the B-Corp certification. The 1 Hotel Turtle Creek operates under that company-level credential, which means the brand's verified commitments apply to the property, but the hotel did not go through a separate B Impact Assessment on its own.
As of 2026, no other Dallas hotel has been confirmed as operating under a B-Corp certified parent brand. The certification is rare in hospitality because it requires legal governance changes and third-party verification, not just a sustainability pledge. If additional brands earn certification or open Dallas properties, this page will reflect those additions.
B Lab requires recertification every three years. Companies must re-submit to the B Impact Assessment and meet the current threshold, which B Lab adjusts over time to raise the bar. A certification awarded in 2021 would be due for renewal by 2024, so travelers should check the B Lab directory to confirm a brand's status is current before booking.
B-Corp certification covers a company's overall social and environmental performance across governance, workers, community, and environment. LEED certification covers the physical design and operation of a specific building, focusing on energy use, water efficiency, materials, and indoor air quality. A hotel can hold one, both, or neither. We have a separate page covering LEED-certified hotels in Dallas for travelers who want property-level green building credentials.
Go to the B Lab directory at bcorporation.net and search for the parent company by name. The directory shows whether the certification is current, when it was awarded, and the company's B Impact Assessment score. If the company does not appear in the directory, the certification has either lapsed or was never awarded.
No, though the two are related. A benefit corporation is a legal business structure that requires directors to consider social and environmental impact alongside profit. B-Corp certification is a third-party credential awarded by B Lab based on performance. A company can be one without the other, though B Lab encourages certified companies to also adopt benefit corporation status or equivalent legal changes.
