Transaction brings all four airport hotels under consolidated ownership, while maintaining Hyatt management and guest experience

DFW AIRPORT, Texas (November 11, 2026) – Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) today announced the purchase of the Hyatt Regency DFW International Airport hotel, through the Airport’s Public Facility Improvement Corporation (PFIC). This summer, DFW received required approvals from the PFIC, DFW’s Board of Directors and owner cities to move forward with the $194 million purchase, which closed on Friday, Oct. 30.

The acquisition brings a significant hospitality asset into PFIC’s portfolio, making the non-profit corporation which finances, plans, constructs, owns and operates facilities within DFW Airport the owner of all four hotels within the airport’s boundaries. The transaction also makes DFW the Hyatt brand’s largest single hotel owner in Texas by room count.

Hyatt Regency DFW International Airport is one of the airport’s most recognizable buildings, located in the middle of the Central Terminal Area adjacent to DFW’s Terminal C. The transaction will preserve the Hyatt Regency brand and bring this strategically important asset under PFIC ownership, allowing DFW to strengthen its hospitality portfolio, support the airport’s continued growth and maintain the high service level expected by airport customers.

“For decades, Hyatt Regency DFW has welcomed travelers, connected businesses and brought communities together,” said Chris McLaughlin, DFW’s Chief Executive Officer. “This acquisition aligns an iconic airport asset with DFW’s long-term vision for growth, customer experience and infrastructure investment. Alongside our broader hospitality initiatives, it strengthens our competitive position, expands services for travelers, supports regional economic growth and creates lasting value for our customers, partners and our owner cities.”

The 811-room Hyatt Regency DFW International Airport hotel features approximately 92,000 square feet of meeting and event space, including more than 44,000 square feet of ballroom and exhibit space, over 70 meeting rooms and event venues, dining, business services, fitness and recreational amenities and 24-hour terminal shuttle service – making it one of the region’s premier venues for conventions, meetings and special events. The hotel will continue to offer guests an open invitation to explore the region, build deep connections with the place and the ones their traveling with. DFW plans to renovate the property.

Hyatt will remain as the hotel manager under the existing management agreement, ensuring that the Hyatt Regency brand standards and guest experience of bringing people together and fostering a spirit of community remain at the highest level.

The complete DFW hotel portfolio now includes:

• Grand Hyatt DFW – a $34M transformation was completed in FY26.
• Hyatt House DFW – now under construction and slated to become the first extended-stay hotel on the airport, scheduled to open summer 2027.
• Hyatt Place DFW – opened in 2016 with modern guest rooms and 24-hour dining.
• Hyatt Regency DFW – adding 811 rooms to airport-owned hospitality offerings.

The term “Hyatt” is used in this release for convenience to refer to Hyatt Hotels Corporation and/or one or more of its affiliates.
