Scene

A modern facility that appeals to both business and leisure travelers

The modern, efficient feel of the Grand Hyatt becomes evident the moment you pull up to its covered entryway, which is not unlike that of an airport terminal. Clearly marked signs direct you to parking and reception. As you make your way through the glass doors into the lobby, the utter spaciousness of the public areas stands out. Rather than feeling cold and impersonal, though, artistic accents make it feel inviting. Among the pieces decorating the lobby are glowing orb chandeliers, glass sculptures, and a dramatic oil painting of a flamenco dancer. Despite Grand Hyatt San Antonio's enormity, check-in and check-out (including video check-out) are efficient and straightforward. Grand Hyatt caters mostly to business travelers, but families and couples can appreciate the property’s service, location, and amenities.
