Grand Hyatt DFW

The overall vibe of this property is upscale and corporate, with wooden paneling, blown-up artsy photographs, and towering flower arrangements in the sleek-looking lobby. The Grand Met restaurant is a swanky gathering space, with black walls and furnishings punctuated by bright yellow chairs. The lounge is an expansive spot with a similar black color scheme. Moka, with its white marble topped coffee bar, is sophisticated. The spa is simple and soothing, a nice setting for unwinding after a long flight.

This is truly an airport hotel, located in Terminal D, with easy access to American Airlines, along with several other international airlines, including Qantas and Lufthansa. There is free transportation throughout the airport via Skylink trains and Terminal Link vans, which connect all terminals with the hotel. Guests with a car can easily reach a variety of restaurants and shops just outside the airport. The Grand Hyatt is a 30-minute drive, or an hour via public transportation, to both downtown Fort Worth and downtown Dallas.  

There are 298 guest rooms, which include 39 suites. The basic rooms have a sleek, modern look, with gray-striped carpeting, big comfortable beds, and smooth wooden furniture. Spacious bathrooms have sleek black marble, large vanities with plenty of room for toiletries, and shower/tub combos. There are large, modern living areas in the Executive Suites. The Grand Suite is a super-luxurious space that has hardwood floors and a chevron-striped rug, a wet bar, and a coffee-colored marble bathroom with a large stall shower and deep soaking tub. All rooms include flat-screen TVs, minibars, irons and ironing boards, and hairdryers. Some rooms overlook the airport, but they are surprisingly quiet. One downside is the lack of coffee- or tea-makers in the rooms.

The Grant Met restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and there’s an attached lounge for drinks and light bites. There’s also a separate sushi bar, the only one in the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The Moka cafe serves illy coffee. The well-kept and spacious fitness center is open 24 hours a day, and The SkySPA offers massages, body treatments, and facials for an additional fee. There’s a small, rectangular rooftop pool surrounded by black sun lounges. There are 45 meeting rooms, 20 conference suites, and two ballrooms, along with a business center, though a credit card is required to use the work stations. Self-parking in a covered garage is free for hotel guests, while valet parking is available for an additional cost.
