    This Dallas luxury hotel made more money than most Texas lodgings in 2020

    To coincide with its 40th anniversary, Dallas’ Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek unveiled an extensive renovation last fall. It turns out the hotel had even more to celebrate in 2020.

    Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek ranked sixth statewide and first in Dallas-Fort Worth last year on a key indicator for the financial health of hotels, according to a report from San Antonio-based hotel data provider Source Strategies. Despite the travel slowdown prompted by the coronavirus pandemic, the property’s revenue per available room (RevPAR) rose to $153.45 in 2020 from $144.20 in 2019. The hotel ranked just 100th statewide for RevPAR in 2019.

    Austin’s Commodore Perry Estate, which opened last year, ranked first statewide for 2020 RevPAR ($245.47).

    While Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek and the Commodore Perry Estate posted relatively good revenue numbers in 2020, the same wasn’t the case for The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas.

    In 2019, the hotel held the No. 1 spot in the state for RevPAR ($350.95). But in 2020, The Ritz-Carlton slid to No. 8, with RevPAR of $142.73. (This, despite the Ritz-Carlton recently nabbing the city's only prestigious five-star rating from Forbes Travel Guide.)

    Also appearing in the state’s top 20 for RevPAR in 2020 was Dallas’ Hotel Crescent Court. It ranked 11th for RevPAR last year ($127.22), down from its No. 8 perch in 2019 ($251.29).

    Overall, Dallas-Fort Worth’s hotel revenue plummeted 46.9 percent last year. It fell from more than $3.45 billion in 2019 to almost $1.84 billion in 2020. Statewide, hotel revenue dropped 40.9 percent, tumbling from a little over $12.31 billion in 2019 to nearly $7.28 billion in 2020.

    “Source Strategies has been tracking hotels in Texas since 1988, and this year’s downturn has been unlike anything we have seen before,” Todd Walker, president of Source Strategies, says in a March 8 news release. “The worst year of the Great Recession, 2009, saw lodging revenues decline 15 percent year over year. This pandemic downturn is nearly three times the severity — a contraction of over $5 billion statewide.

    "Hopefully, we will see a return of leisure travel in the second half of the year as vaccinations become more widespread, but business travel will take longer to come back.”

    Grand Hyatt hotel at DFW Airport unveils $34 million renovation

    The DFW Airport's on-site Terminal D hotel, Grand Hyatt DFW Airport, has just completed its $34 million renovation in less than a year.

    Renovations began in July 2025 in celebration of its 20th anniversary, and coincided with the DFW Airport's ongoing $9 billion renovation plan. According to general manager Jeff Babcock, the hotel's transformation was a strategic process to show gratitude and "give back to the travelers and members of the community that supported [the hotel] during the last two decades."

    "The entire renovation of the property solidifies our legacy as the premier hotel and event center supporting the international airport and connecting travelers to the Dallas Fort Worth culture and community,” Babcock says in a press release.

    Among the shiny new features are the fully renovated guest rooms and suites (which have been increased from its original 298 rooms to 315), a "reimagined" Grand Met restaurant, and an updated 20,000-square-foot top-floor meeting and event space, executive board room, and an expansive indoor/outdoor rooftop flight-deck event space that overlooks the DFW Airport's runways.

    All rooms at the Grand Hyatt DFW face the airport's runways.

    The Grand Hyatt also claims its renovated 6,600-square-foot ballroom makes the hotel "a leading conference destination and event center at DFW and around the area."

    The hotel lobby remains just steps away from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Terminal D checkpoint, and was remodeled with "luxurious marble tile flooring, rich wooden paneling, and artwork created by local artists," the press release says. Additional upgrades were made to the on-site fitness center, which was relocated to the first-floor "to better accommodate health and fitness needs" and is now outfitted with Peloton bicycles.

    "The transformation of Grand Hyatt DFW is a major milestone in the ongoing evolution of our airport and an investment in the experience we deliver to customers every day," says DFW CEO Chris McLaughlin in the release. "As one of the most consistently and highly awarded airport hotels, this property sets the standard for convenience, comfort and Southern hospitality. The reimagining of the property ensures it will continue to be a premier destination in North Texas and a powerful reflection of DFW’s commitment to excellence as we serve a growing global community."

    Room rates at the Grand Hyatt DFW Airport begin at $296 for World of Hyatt Members, and standard rates begin at $329 per night in February.
