Outside the airport is the Airport Westin on Highway 114.  It is on short final to runway 17L and has a swimming pool area on top of the hotel.  It has a great view.  The area you are looking at from there incidentally is the area that the Delta L1011 crashed.

===Grand Hyatt===
Connected to Terminal D is the Grand Hyatt Hotel. Some rooms face out to Terminal D and 18R/L. Also for guests of the hotel, there is a pool deck on the 9th floor with excellent views of 18R/L and the Cargo Ramp and AA Hangars. The pool deck does have a glass partition going up the walls, but there are several chairs and tables to use to get over the wall. Guests of the hotel may also request a terminal pass which will allow access into Terminal D for food or shopping and access to all of DFW terminals without a ticket. Security checks are tougher with the terminal pass, but it is a good way to get into the terminal without buying a ticket.
