Hyatt Regency San Antonio, the premier River Walk hotel, announces the completion of a $38 million renovation. The project completely transformed the hotel's 602 guestrooms and 28 suites to reflect an upscale urban experience showcasing its location as a connecting feature between Alamo Plaza and the River Walk.

The project broke ground in early December 2021 and is officially complete. It was conducted by Canco Construction, a minority-owned San Antonio-based contractor specializing in commercial construction in South Texas. Interior design services were provided by DLR Group, a national integrated design firm delivering architecture, engineering, interiors, planning and building optimization for new construction, renovation and adaptive reuse. The project was further supported by national contract coordinator Lombari Construction and Hyatt's international technology and design teams.

When guests arrive to the updated guestrooms, they will immediately notice the excitement of the location with floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing sweeping downtown views. The updates invite an open floor plan with an elevated and sophisticated aesthetic. Each room features brand new hard wood flooring complemented by modern amber-colored accent rugs. The rooms highlight a light and airy color palette with a denim accent wall and wooden hearth-inspired structure that doubles as a wall mount for brand-new 75-inch flat screen televisions. New amenities include updated mini-refrigerators, sleek furniture, and convenient work center desks with installed lighting and built-in power access. Hyatt Regency San Antonio's indulgent suites were transformed to serve as dual purpose spaces, ideal for luxury accommodations or entertainment locations for social gatherings and small events.

Behind the smooth gliding barn door, bathrooms were redesigned with luxury finishes including marble stand-up showers with premium sliding glass doors and dual rainfall and handheld shower combination systems, a lighted vanity mirror, and granite sinks and countertops. Hotel corridors and elevator waiting areas have also been updated to showcase the atrium-style hotel which oversees The Alamo and Riverwalk.

The renovation of Hyatt Regency San Antonio took place in concert with the multi-year, multi-million dollar revitalization of Alamo Plaza, including the addition of a $15 million Alamo Exhibit Hall and Collections Building set to open fall of 2022.

San Antonio is a leading leisure and meetings destination in the heart of Texas. In 2019, San Antonio welcomed approximately 41 million visitors enjoying the city's vast cultural, family friendly, historic and entertainment offerings. The Alamo and San Antonio River Walk are the top two most-visited attractions in the state and just two of many iconic San Antonio experiences that also include San Antonio Missions National Historical Park with UNESCO World Heritage designation, more than 1,000 Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine restaurants with a variety of culinary designations, SeaWorld San Antonio, Six Flags Fiesta Texas and the world's only ultra-accessible theme park, Morgan's Wonderland.
