Hyatt Regency Houston is a 30-story high-rise hotel located in downtown Houston, Texas, United States.
The hotel, part of the Hyatt hotel chain, was designed by architectural firm JV III ( a joint venture between firms Caudill Rowlett Scott, Neuhaus & Taylor, and Koetter, Tharp & Cowell) [1] and was opened to guests in 1972.[2] At 401 ft (122 m), Hyatt Regency Houston is the city's tallest hotel [3] The hotel was, for many years, topped by a revolving restaurant known as "Spindletop". Today, it is used as function space. The hotel's 29-story atrium, one of the highest in Texas, was featured as a set in the 1976 film Logan's Run.[4][5]
Hyatt Regency Houston was a host hotel for the 1992 Republican National Convention, the 16th G7 Economic Summit in 1990, and the 1998 World Energy Congress.[6] The hotel completed a $40 million renovation in 2008 that included all 947 guestrooms, a redesigned lobby bar, 64,000 square feet (5,900 m2) of meeting space, and the addition of the only Shula's Steakhouse in Texas.[7]
