The Dance Hall - A Sayles Ranch Home

Discover The Dance Hall, an exquisite Texas Urban Loft style space that once served as Dottie Botkin's Ballet Studio in the 1950s. Steeped in history, this sophisticated retreat was the hub where Abilene's dance legacy began. Immerse yourself in a refined ambiance where elegance and innovation converge.

This thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment features high ceilings and an open layout, seamlessly blending the allure of vintage charm with contemporary luxury.

The master bedroom with queen bed showcases a headboard crafted from the turquoise doors of a '57 Chevy pickup truck. The second bedroom, affectionately named "The Bunker," features built-in twin beds reminiscent of a ship's cabin, adding a unique and cozy touch to the loft

A captivating 30-foot wall is adorned with the backs of 200 meticulously chosen blue and turquoise books. Polished concrete floors, track lighting, and a kitchen counter backsplash adorned with 2,700 pennies add a touch of opulence to the space, sparking conversation and intrigue. Raw wooden beams, antique ceiling tin tiles, and silvery metal accents gracefully complement the exquisite turquoise and French blue color scheme, creating a harmonious visual feast.

Guests will have private access to the entire downstairs home. There is another Sayles Ranch Home (The Hayloft) located on the upper level that may be occupied at the time at your stay.

Nestled in the Historic Sayles District, this residence is conveniently situated near the universities, shops, restaurants, and various venues in Abilene.
