We’re big fans of very nice airport hotels for the view, the convenience and for some of the unusual amenities some at-the-airport hotels offer.
And during our most recent stay at the recently refurbished Grand Hyatt DFW, located inside DFW’s D Terminal, we learned that Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) was putting finishing touches on a $194 million purchase of the 811-room Hyatt Regency DFW International Airport Hotel, which is adjacent to Terminal C.
Now that deal is complete and promise of upgrades for the Hyatt Regency DFW will move forward
There are two other Hyatt properties on the 27-acre DFW Airport property: the extended-stay Hyatt House DFW, which is slated to open in summer 2027, and the Hyatt Place DFW, which opened in 2016.
Until now, DFW Airport owned all but the Hyatt Regency DFW. So with this new purchase DFW Airport becomes the owner of all four hotels within the airport’s boundaries and the Hyatt brand’s largest single hotel owner in Texas by room count.
The complete DFW hotel portfolio now includes:
- Grand Hyatt DFW – which has 315 rooms and had a $34M refresh in FY26.
- Hyatt House DFW – now under construction. The 130 unit hotel will be the first extended-stay hotel on the airport. Scheduled to open summer 2027.
- Hyatt Place DFW – Has 137 rooms and opened in 2016 with 24-hour dining.
- Hyatt Regency DFW – now adds 811 rooms to the airport-owned hotel room count.
While DFW owns the hotels and can turn the savings and revenue back into airport operations, Hyatt Hotels manages the properties. So if you’re staying overnight in a DFW Airport hotel, it’s going to be in one owned by the airport, but in keeping in Hyatt brand standards.
