SAN ANTONIO
State and local elected officials and tourism industry leaders recently gathered to celebrate the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and Spa's 20th anniversary, a celebration that coincided with the resort's completion of a $35 million expansion and renovation, essentially doubling the indoor function space to 70,000 square feet, including the addition of a 20,000-square-foot ballroom.
Exterior function space added with the expansion includes a 7,260-square-foot landscaped courtyard, complete with a Texas-sized, stacked limestone working fireplace and a 5,000-square-foot event lawn connected to the new ballroom.
A FlowRider wave machine and a tower slide were added to the resort's onsite water park, expanding it to five acres. The heated wave machine can be enjoyed year-round and provides resort guests the options of body boarding, knee boarding or stand-up boarding - the only location in Texas with a stand-up boarding option.
