Dallas Meetings Mecca Finalizes $50M Renovation

DALLAS

April 16, 2013 - Hyatt Regency Dallas announced completion of the $50 million makeover and upgrade of its 1,120 guest rooms, bathrooms and corridors, less than a year after construction began and just in time to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the hotel.

The re-designed and re-configured rooms offer different options for both work and relaxation, incorporating a lounge chair for reading and watching television, a comfortable desk chair, and a chaise lounge where guests can stretch out and enjoy the city skyline views or the Texas sunset. In addition, a sculptural, metallic wall screen extending from the headboard and a linear "river mirror" created from an abstracted image of the Trinity River replaced traditional framed art. The mirror integrates with the clean-lined taupe-finished millwork wall. The framed, flat-screen, high-definition TV is flanked by a satin-lacquered tower that provides a tidy storage unit for room accessories.

A richly colored landscape image featured in the art mirror also is woven into the hotel corridor carpeting. The carpet combines with new sidelight towers at the door drops to create a warm, glowing "candlelight" effect in the hallways. New graphics, signage and a state-of-the-art swipe entry system also are included in the transformation. The guest-room entry transitions from ceramic tile to neutral-colored carpet that features a tailored, urban pattern. The completely transformed bathroom is accessed via sliding, modern "barn doors" and includes a backlit mirror, a contemporary, freestanding vanity and an art collage of Dallas-inspired imagery screen-printed onto metal.

Hyatt Regency Dallas features 160,000 square feet of public function space including three ballrooms, two exhibit halls, 56 meeting rooms, and 42 hospitality suites.
