SET ON
200 WOODED ACRES- with its own golf course, water playground, and
multimillion-dollar
spa-the 500-room Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and Spa feels
intimate
despite its size. Guests savor the pampering associated not only with
the
Hyatt Regency name but also with Texas-sized hospitality.
The
resort takes its name from the Texas Hill Country region, which offers
rolling hills, bluffs, creeks, and wildflower meadows. The resort's
limestone
facades and enclosed landscaped gardens reflect the Germanic origins of
the area's first settlers.
Inside,
the reception and lobby areas feel like the living room of a prosperous
ranch house. Massive fireplaces and overstuffed chairs invite new
arrivals
to linger.
Last
spring the resort unveiled its newly renovated rooms, where the details
include stone entry ways, elliptical shower curtain rods, leather
furniture,
native Texas-granite countertops, and Hyatt's signature triple-sheeted
Grand Beds*.
Regency
Club accommodations include a personal concierge host and an exclusive
lounge for Continental breakfasts, afternoon tea, evening cocktails,
hors
d'oeuvres, and desserts.
Meeting
planners appreciate the generous group facilities. More than 33,000
square
feet of flexible meeting space awaits you. Perfect for large groups, or
intimate board meetings. The largest of the 26 rooms is the elegant
13,590-square-foot
Hill Country Ballroom that seats up to 1,600 for dinner. Outdoor venues
abound throughout lushly landscaped areas.
Meanwhile,
the resort's man-made 950-footlong Ramblin' River invites guests to
grab
an inner tube and float away the day's cares. The journey starts at a
swimming
pool and ends at a wading pool with sundeck. The River is also a great
place for team building activities, including challenging each team to
make a 'sea-worthy' boat out of Duck tape and cardboard! The grounds
also
provide miles of nature paths and three tennis courts.
The
resort's Hill Country Golf Club features 27-holes of on-site golf and
covers
more than 170 acres of rugged topography. Fashioned by Arthur Hills
into
an assortment of challenges, the course flanks a full-service
clubhouse,
a pro shop, and two inviting restaurants.
Windflower-The
Hill Country Spa offers 21-indoor treatment rooms and 3 outdoor
cabanas.
Spa services use all-natural products. Signature therapies range from
Texas
tea wraps to peach-pecan body scrubs and yellow-rose facials.
For
meals and refreshments, guests often turn to the Springhouse
Café
or Aunt Mary's Porch, which quenches thirsts in a laid-back setting
overlooking
the river pool and fairways. Another favorite gathering spot, Charlie's
Long Bar, could pass for an authentic Texas saloon with its billiards
and
game tables, 56-foot copper-topped bar, cowhide covered barstools, and
open barrels of peanuts. In addition to a huge variety of packaged
snacks,
beverages and Texas-themed gifts, The General Store serves made to
order
pizzas, hot-grilled sandwiches, salads and smoothies. In the clubhouse,
the Cactus Oak Tavern serves a 19th Hole casual menu, while Antlers
Lodge
features elegant Hill Country-inspired cuisine served by the light of
genuine
antler chandeliers.
It
takes just one look at the Hyatt Regency Hill Country to understand its
enormous appeal. Add the South Texas hospitality of our warm and
friendly
staff, and you have a Four-Diamond experience waiting to happen.
