I have business in the building across the street from the Belo Mansion, so may I park in the garage?

There is not any daily or monthly parking. You may temporarily park in our garage but you will not park at the $3 rate. The $3 rate is charged to those who have business inside the Belo Mansion.

We are specifically giving priority to those parking in the garage to attend a meeting inside Belo.

You may self-park at the per-car rate of $6 or you may use valet parking. Please call our catering office at 214/ 220-7414 to arrange valet services.

May I leave my car in the garage after my meeting in the Belo Mansion concludes? I have a meeting next door.
