DFW Grand Hyatt Launches Major Renovation
Digney York Associates has been selected as the general contractor to lead renovations of the DFW Grand Hyatt.
Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas – August 28, 2025: Digney York Associates began renovating the prestigious Grand Hyatt DFW inside Terminal D at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport in July 2025. This full-hotel renovation is part of the Grand Hyatt’s 20th anniversary celebration and consists of updates to guest rooms, suites, meeting and event spaces, restaurants and bars, the lobby, guest lounges, and corridors throughout. Through this refresh, Grand Hyatt hopes to reinforce their legacy as the premier hotel and event space connecting travelers through the airport with the DFW culture and community.
Since opening in 2005, the Grand Hyatt DFW has been a premier stopover for international travelers and guests in transit. Today, the property is evolving into a full-service destination, offering the amenities and atmosphere of a flagship hotel without the need to travel beyond the airport.
Guest Rooms and Suites
To better accommodate the needs of today’s travelers, the hotel is increasing the number of guest rooms and suites from 298 to 315. The rooms and suites will have an aeronautical design incorporating the style of a Texas landscape with local woods like Red River Pecan and Yellow Pine to offer a luxurious and sophisticated feel to the guest experience.
The room's accents will include a color palette of subdued greens and natural blues, nods to the western prairie. When it’s time for guests to relax, they’ll be invited to a comfortable Grand Hyatt bed with a stitched leather headboard and integrated accent lighting - the perfect combination for a good night’s sleep.
Each room will have the latest technology, including large HD flat-screen TVs and new charging ports for various devices. Guests can also choose their own technological experience, with customizable, eco-friendly thermostats, improved lighting controls, and programmed blackout curtains and shades. Other accommodations include spacious closets and updated bathrooms with large vanities, showers, tubs, and incredible airport runway views.
Restaurants and Lounge Areas
With the renovation comes a transformed Grand Met restaurant and lounge, showcasing new, seasonal menus offering unique culinary experiences for travelers and guests. The upcoming atmosphere combines artisanal traditions and modern, upscale dining at the one-of-a-kind restaurant.
In addition to increased seating capacity at the restaurant and lounge bar, the redesigned private and semi-private dining rooms can accommodate parties of varying sizes. They will offer a level of luxury for a gourmet experience. The new tables and chairs will complement the area, while the purposefully designed ceiling will keep conversations private without losing the ambiance and atmosphere of the luxury dining experience. The rotating menu will offer international and modern cuisine with locally sourced ingredients.
Meeting and Events
With over 20,000 square feet of space for meetings and events, the Grand Hyatt will reveal its new boardroom on the top floor and a unique indoor/outdoor rooftop event space with a view of the airport runways. Since DFW is a destination for conferences and events, DYA will renovate these spaces for corporate meetings, sophisticated events, and other luxurious celebrations. For guests' convenience, these spaces will provide in-house audiovisual support for all events.
This refresh also incorporates the Texan style and the West’s beautiful landscape. The newly designed indoor/outdoor rooftop event space and the property’s award-winning service will provide an exceptional setting for memorable get-togethers.
Lobby, Corridors, and Pool
Conveniently close to the TSA checkpoint in Terminal D, the Grand Hyatt’s lobby will feature a new marble floor, custom-designed ceiling finishes, and enhanced accent lighting. Staying consistent with the aeronautical theme within the guest rooms and suites, the wooden paneling and art pieces from local artists offer an exclusive experience upon entering and leaving the hotel’s lobby that will resonate with guests even after their stay. DYA is also installing a new terrazzo floor with a brass inlay design as part of the lobby scope of work.
The new corridors will connect the hotel to the airport and will feature plush carpeting in a pattern inspired by the airport’s architecture and flight paths, accented in warm tones of blue and brown. The first floor will house an updated fitness center equipped with Peloton bicycles, offering guests a modern space to maintain their wellness routines. The property’s outdoor rooftop pool, with its panoramic views of the airport runways, will remain a signature amenity.
