We were browsing the Kimpton Flickr Pool today when we came across this stunning picture of Hotel Lumen in Dallas.

Located almost literally on the Southern Methodist University campus, this colorful boutique property is the ideal spot to crash for all you mommies and daddies dropping junior off at college -- and you can even bring the doggie along to give your baby a proper sendoff!

Rates start around $179 (and after forking over SMU tuition, you aren't going to be interested in paying much more than that).

Dallas tourists might want to check out Hotel Lumen for its location as well: the Nasher Sculpture Center, the Dallas Museum of Art, Fair Park and the ultra-cool Mockingbird Station are all well within the 10-mile range.

As for that photo, the windows are lit with artistic LED lighting "in a range of 120 colors."

Mighty purdy.
