Frommer's Review
There's something stimulating about all that glass and steel rising from this hotel's lobby, where the Hyatt's signature cage elevators ascend and descend the sky-lit atrium. Maybe it's airiness that determines the difference between a hotel that's bustling and one that just feels overcrowded? This one's definitely bustling, with both business travelers and families who enjoy its convenience to all the downtown attractions. Thy Hyatt is on the popular South Bank section, where the river runs closest to the Alamo, and having a bit of said river running through the lobby adds to the dramatic effect. A $16-million makeover, completed in late 2004, gave the rooms a distinctly Texan, earthy, elegant look and added super-comfortable bedding. And you've got easy access to the New Orleans-oriented bar The Landing, longtime home to the Dixieland jazz of Jim Cullum and his band.
