The first is the rather randomly placed small chair next to the desk. This area does contain a couple of oddities, though. Overkill, perhaps, but you’ll appreciate it in the Texas summer heat. Waiting on the desk were not one, not two, not three, but four complimentary bottles of water. Meanwhile, a large, 55″ flat screen TV takes up the middle of the room. In the other corner is a good-sized, two-level work desk. It’s maybe 2 feet deep – a place to stand and get some fresh air, but that’s about it. Before you get excited about the “balcony”, it’s not much. In one corner is a small chair next to the nightstand, along with a door to the balcony. Though I had to cut my sleep short, it’s a quality setup for a good night’s rest. I did find the mattress quite comfortable, and the hotel’s soundproofing excellent. But even with all the lights on, it remains pretty dark, as the photos show. Advertised at 364 square feet, the room was spacious, with plenty of room to move around. The front desk assigned me my “King Airport View” room on the second floor. ![]() The decor is…generic, though inoffensive, and it looks like everything did receive a fresh coat of paint and carpet. I happened to receive a room on an updated floor. Meanwhile, guest room areas were last renovated in 2009, though it appears another renovation is ongoing now. Worth a look, especially if you have a Globalist breakfast benefit. ![]() One of the restaurants, Jacob’s Spring Grille, is an AvGeek nod to Texas’ first aviator, Jacob Brodbeck, featuring aviation-themed decor and factoids throughout. The Hyatt Regency DFW has two full-service restaurants, a coffee shop (Jett’s), and a bar. I arrived late and left by 4:45 the next morning, so I didn’t try any of the restaurants. Immediately outside the elevator bank is an official DFW arrivals/departures board. You’d think an airport hotel would have more seats, given the number of people waiting for shuttles and such. One thing I noticed was a distinct lack of sitting space in the lobby. Though approaching 15 years old at this point, the lobby areas still look pretty good. Thankfully, Hyatt fully renovated the public spaces in 2005. The Hyatt Regency originally opened under a different flag in 1980, and became a Hyatt in 1987. Two months later, I’m still waiting for the stay credit. She instead directed me to the website, but assured me I’d receive credit for my stay as long as I registered under the same e-mail address. One minor complaint: I asked the agent if she could sign me up for a World of Hyatt account. I arrived at the hotel a little after 10, and a helpful agent quickly checked me in, and told me how the shuttles work for my morning departure. (If you go to Downtown Grapevine, head to Tolbert’s for some chili and chicken fried steak.)ĭate of Stay: Friday, JCheck-In and Common Areas It departs once an hour from roughly 10 am-10 pm Monday-Saturday, and 11 am-6 pm Sunday. If you want to head to historic Downtown Grapevine or the Grapevine Mills Mall, you can also catch the Grapevine Visitors Shuttle from the hotel. From there, you’ll need to go inside the baggage claim and use the courtesy phone, or call the hotel for a shuttle pickup. Most rideshare and taxi drivers know how to reach the Hyatt Regency.Īlso, it is possible to access the hotel via the DART light rail system, albeit in a roundabout fashion. Instead, make sure to specify DFW Airport, and just tell them you want to go to the Hyatt Regency. Meanwhile, when arriving from off-site, do not try to enter the hotel’s physical address in GPS or Uber/Lyft. ![]() If you prefer not to deal with the walk, the hotel offers a free shuttle, similar to that car service in Red Deer, to all terminals. Especially when it’s hot outside, which is unfortunately most of the time down here. There are a few flights of stairs to go up/down, so beware if you have heavy luggage. Exit the terminal at the C19 exit, then walk through the terminal parking garage, then across to the Hyatt’s garage. ![]() You can walk to/from Terminal C, but it’s not necessarily the easiest process. Amenities: meeting rooms, business center, heated pool, fitness center, four on-site restaurants, airport terminal shuttle, parking ($21/night)Īdjacent to DFW Airport Terminal C, but NOT connected to the terminal.
