SAN ANTONIO, Texas–Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk embarked on a nearly $9 million renovation project. Expected to be completed in early March 2025, the enhancement project will transform the hotel’s lobby and public spaces. It will also result in the debut of a new dining concept, Moda Fare; coffee service at Spoonful Provisions; and the Tejas Lounge. Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk will be open and operating throughout the renovation project.
“We are thrilled to begin this exciting new chapter for Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk by debuting an enhanced hotel experience just in time for March Madness and the busy spring season,” said Philip Stamm, area vice president and general manager, Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk. “The project will blend premier luxury with functionality to provide an unparalleled River Walk experience, complete with a sophisticated design, elevated dining, and a brand-new coffee house for our guests and local community.”
The updated lobby will feature new check-in desks with a modern design backdropped by dark wood accents and crystal chandeliers. The renovation will also include the addition of contemporary lighting fixtures and an open layout.
The enhancements will also include the installation of Tejas Lounge, which will be located at the west end of the lobby. The Texas-inspired lounge will show a blend of mid-century modern furnishing and a bar offering a cocktail menu. The space is designed to provide an atmosphere where guests can enjoy Texas spirits and light bites.
Taking the place of the hotel’s Bar Rojo will be a new dining concept called Moda Fare, serving Italian cuisine. Moda Fare embodies the Italian approach to style. The restaurant concept will reflect the lobby’s updated design with several wood accents, updated furniture, and wood flooring. It will also offer a bar and floor-to-ceiling windows offering natural light, as well as a garden-style patio offering al fresco dining. The patio will have an open-air setting with fans and a television for screening sporting events.
Additionally, Perks Coffee will be transformed into an upscale coffee house named Spoonful Provisions offering a selection of coffee roasters. The design will include a marble counter accented with blue tile and backdropped by a floral mural. Its open layout will highlight displays of coffee selections, Texas-inspired products, and grab-and-go food selections.
