local attractions
discover all the exciting attractions near our luxurious downtown property.
Discover this city known for its study in contrasts; on the one hand, it's a cosmopolitan center, worldly in its interests, dashing and charming. On the other hand, it proudly represents the individuality and steadfast idealism of its Texas birthright. The AAA Four Diamond Hyatt Regency Dallas is at the epicenter of the city’s sophisticated profile. Here, sleek glass and steel skyscrapers like Reunion Tower stand alongside architectural gems designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and I. M. Pei. Families love to use our luxurious Hyatt as their base when visiting Six Flags®, and sports fans applaud the spacious guestrooms and deluxe amenities of our downtown Dallas TX hotel. Those who prefer something a bit more cultural will enjoy a world-class symphony, opera, ballet and theater. Be sure to visit the Dallas Art District, a neighborhood gem with 19-unique blocks rich in architecture. Of course, no discussion of “Big D” would be complete without a mention of rodeo and country-western music. You can also hike, fish or enjoy bird-watching at the 1,000 acres of woodlands just a short trip from our downtown Dallas Texas hotel. Accommodating and versatile, Dallas is the state's top travel and leisure destination, laying out the welcome mat with a uniquely Texan style.
