DFW AIRPORT, Texas - Grand Hyatt DFW marked the completion of a $34 million full-hotel renovation Wednesday with an official ribbon cutting at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, reopening the transformed property to guests after construction began in July 2025.
The hotel, located inside Terminal D, increased its total number of guestrooms and suites from 298 to 315 as part of the renovation. Updated accommodations, refreshed dining venues and modernized meeting and event spaces are now fully open to the public.
“We are thrilled to announce the completion of Grand Hyatt DFW’s $34 million-dollar transformation. The transformation process has allowed us to create more refined accommodations for international and domestic travelers, enhanced culinary experiences for guests and local residents, and modernized conference and event spaces for meetings and groups,” said Ripton Melhado, Vice President Field Operations, Hyatt. “The changes to the property reflect the state-of-the-art experience expected by guests traveling through the international airport and sets the stage for the next generation of travel and hospitality.”
The project coincides with the hotel’s 20th anniversary. “The complete hotel transformation allows us to give back to the travelers and members of the community that supported us during the last two decades. The entire renovation of the property solidifies our legacy as the premier hotel and event center supporting the international airport and connecting travelers to the Dallas Fort Worth culture and community,” said Jeff Babcock, general manager of Grand Hyatt DFW.
DFW leadership said the investment strengthens the airport’s long-term vision.
“The transformation of Grand Hyatt DFW is a major milestone in the ongoing evolution of our airport and an investment in the experience we deliver to customers every day,” said Chris McLaughlin, DFW’s Chief Executive Officer. “As one of the most consistently and highly awarded airport hotels, this property sets the standard for convenience, comfort and southern hospitality. The reimagining of the property ensures it will continue to be a premier destination in North Texas and a powerful reflection of DFW’s commitment to excellence as we serve a growing global community."
Renovated guestrooms feature Hyatt Grand beds, integrated lighting, expanded closets and modern bathrooms with larger vanities, showers and tubs. Each room includes updated technology such as high-definition televisions, charging ports, occupancy thermostats and automated blackout shades. All accommodations offer views of DFW’s runways.
The hotel’s signature restaurant, Grand Met, has been reimagined with an upscale global fusion menu, while the Grand Met Lounge introduces updated cocktail and wine offerings.
The refreshed 20,000 square feet of meeting and event space includes a renovated 6,600-square-foot ballroom, a top-floor executive boardroom and an indoor-outdoor rooftop event space overlooking the airport. The lobby now features marble flooring, wood paneling and artwork by local artists, and the relocated fitness center includes Peloton equipment. The rooftop pool and bar remain open to guests.
