Hyatt Regency DFW

The Hyatt Regency DFW is a convenient business layover hotel, located in Terminal C of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The 14-floor, sleekly designed hotel offers several handy business services, but guests might have to tolerate a bit of airport noise. The sleek and spacious lobby has white marble flooring with white pillars and a light-wood front desk. Open 24-hours a day, the state-of-the art gym includes cardio equipment, free weights, chilled and dry towels, and a water cooler. There's a heated outdoor pool, with a wheelchair lift. The deck, which overlooks the airport and freeway, is furnished with casual lounge chairs and patio furniture. Free pool toys and extra towels are provided in the poolside bathroom.

The Hyatt Regency DFW is truly an airport hotel, with a location right in Terminal C. There are rental car companies nearby. A shuttle goes (for a fee, and sometimes irregularly) to the Grapevine Historic Main Street District, a 12-minute ride. The Grapevine Vintage Railroad is 11 minutes by car. It’s a 30-minute drive to the American Airlines Center. Six Flags Over Texas, in Arlington, is a 25-minute drive. Driving to Bear Creek Golf Club takes 10 minutes. Saks Off 5th and Legoland Discovery Center Dallas/Ft Worth are within a 15-minute drive. The AT&T Stadium is a 22-minute car trip. 

There are Standard, King, Double and Queen Rooms, and Executive, VIP and Junior Suites. Brown-striped carpeting, red decor, and dark wood furniture give rooms a modern vibe, though the carpet is on the ugly side. Sleek bathrooms provide toothpaste (convenient for that unexpected layover), and have showers or shower/tub combos. Most rooms have iPod docks, coffee/teamakers, Starbucks coffee, flat-screen TVs, irons, and balconies. Suites have sitting areas, mini-fridges, safes, and Keurig coffeemakers. Windows face the airport. One-bedroom VIP Suites have kitchenettes and whirlpool tubs. ADA accessible and day-use rooms are also available. The luxe two-floor Presidential Suite has a grand piano, living room, dining room, kitchenette, flat-screen TVs, sauna, and three bathrooms. Safes are at the front desk. 

The Hyatt Regency DFW has two restaurants, plus a coffee and lobby bar. Jacob’s Spring Grille serves American fare in a contemporary dining room with light-wood furniture, booth seating, and colorful patterned carpeting. Mister G’s provides a bit of elegance, with dim lighting, red tufted booth seating, and wooden wall panels. Aces Lobby Bar is modern, with flat-screen TVs and two pool tables. The Jett’s Coffee Bar offers take-out. And the Doc Karcher’s market is stocked with souvenirs, sundries, magazines, snacks, and other convenience items.

The self-serve laundry room offers four key-operated washers/dryers and a coin-operated soap dispenser. There's also a heated outdoor pool, a 24-hour gym, and free Wi-Fi throughout. Also on-site are a FedEx Office, providing two computer terminals, a commercial-grade copy/fax machine, and a printer, along with other business services. 70 meeting rooms -- with 92,000 square feet and a T1 line -- can be rented. There’s a modern ballroom, with a small poolside terrace, boardrooms, and an exhibit hall. Audiovisual equipment, flip charts, screens, flat-screen TVs, and concierge services are also available.
