Hyatt Regency Austin, located on the shores of Lady Bird Lake in downtown Austin, has embarked on a full-hotel renovation of the property, with completion expected in September 2025. The hotel remains open during the refresh, with the revamped spaces reopening in phases.
The project includes a comprehensive redesign of the hotel’s 448 guestrooms and suites, corridors, meeting facilities and public spaces throughout the property. The refresh will also include the addition of two guestrooms, a new signature restaurant, Ripple & Roots, offering a lounge with an indoor-outdoor bar experience and a patio on Lady Bird Lake, and the new Juniper Breeze Market. At the onset of the project, Hyatt Regency Austin reopened a newly remodeled outdoor pool and cabanas, which will remain accessible throughout the renovation.
The revitalized lobby will welcome guests with new reception pods and expanded seating. Each redesigned guestroom will sport a new lighting scheme and new headboard walls. Guests will find a dedicated lounge space in the king and double queen rooms, complete with a chaise with table for flexible use, in addition to the existing desks. A new luggage bench, desk chair and table lamp will be added besides a redesigned beverage center.
Adjacent to the reception area, the new Ripple & Roots restaurant will provide a stylish setting for quiet dinners as well as gatherings, with a private dining room named Waterloo—paying homage to Austin’s original name—between the restaurant and the lounge.
Connected to the lounge area through a new indoor-outdoor bar experience via retractable glass wall, the Patio will provide an immersive, all-day experience framed by a panoramic lakefront setting and views of the Austin skyline. Welcoming guests and locals alike, the new Juniper Breeze Market will offer meals, snacks and beverages, including specialty coffees, alongside a selection of products from local small businesses.
Hyatt Regency Austin houses more than 45,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and event space. The hotel’s newly renovated venues, including the Zilker, Texas and Foothills Ballrooms, will provide a range of choice for event planners. A covered outdoor reception area, the Zilker Terrace, extends off the Zilker Skywalk. The new Lady Bird meeting room on the second floor frames views of downtown Austin and the lake, while intimate corners such as the Zilker Ballroom foyer will allow for one-to-one conversations. Enhanced by a selection of diverse food and beverage experiences, the spaces are equipped with modern amenities and bespoke support services.
At the beginning of the renovation, Hyatt Regency Austin unveiled newly designed private cabanas in the outdoor pool area for both guests and locals. Available for groups of up to six people, the cabana experience can be upgraded with Ripple & Roots patio service, in addition to top-tier amenities.
