Hyatt Regency Austin recently completed its full-scale transformation of its 448 guestrooms and suites, corridors, meeting facilities, and public spaces. The property also introduced two additional guestrooms and three new dining concepts.
“As Austin continues to be a premier destination for business and leisure travel, special events and the local community, we’re pleased to welcome guests to the revitalized Hyatt Regency Austin, which ushers in a new era for our hotel,” said Jeff Donahoe, general manager. “By elevating every facet of the guest experience, from refreshed guestrooms to exciting new dining concepts, we’re better positioned to cater to all types of travelers visiting Austin with impeccable hospitality and amenities that reflects the best of the city and Central Texas.”
The project started in early April 2025. Ealain Studios provided interior design services.
Featuring a unique visual display blending Austin’s natural setting and vibrant cityscape, the lobby boasts new reception pods and lounge seating to encourage socialization and relaxation.
Each redesigned guestroom and suite features new natural-tone carpeting, hand-stitched accent pillows, art pieces crafted with the essence of Austin’s natural and creative spirit, a new luggage bench, built-in desk areas, and bathrooms with expanded vanities with quartz countertops.
One of the new guestrooms is the Lake View Residence suite, with views of Lady Bird Lake and the Austin skyline, as well as a spacious bedroom, a full bathroom with a soaking tub and a separate shower, and two private balconies. In the living area, guests find a convertible sofa, and the kitchenette includes bar seating for three.
Ripple & Roots, a new restaurant adjacent to reception, serves lunch, happy hour and dinner with a menu of reimagined Tex-Mex cuisine using authentic, local and sustainable ingredients from community purveyors, led by Chef de Cuisine Perla Alvarado in partnership with Executive Chef Kevin Patton. Cypress Grove is a spacious restaurant and lounge highlighting local flavors with a breakfast buffet and weekend brunch. New Juniper Breeze Market features meals, snacks and beverages.
The variety of meeting spaces solidifies Hyatt Regency Austin as a premier destination for event planners. Renovated venues include Zilker, Texas and Foothills ballrooms. The spaces boast modern amenities and support services from the hotel’s dedicated team.

Business travel is business travel ... right? Well, not if you’re an entrepreneur. Traditional business travelers are beholden to corporate travel policies, forced to book via a dedicated platform or with certain brands, and restricted by their employers’ duty of care. When it comes to entrepreneur travel, however, anything and everything is an option — and travel brands, from airlines to hotels and beyond are taking notice and adjusting their offerings accordingly.
