The West Tower that was part of Hyatt Regency DFW opened in 1974 as Airport Marina Hotel. With the addition of the 815-room East Tower and Bear Creek Golf Club in 1980, the combined property became known as AMFAC Hotel & Resort. When an affiliate of Hunt-Woodbine Realty Corporation purchased the resort in 1986, the property was converted to a Hyatt. In 2001 the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport Board and Hunt-Woodbine Realty Corporation negotiated a “friendly condemnation,” and the airport acquired and demolished the West Tower to make way for an airport-owned Grand Hyatt hotel, for which Woodbine is the asset manager. The Grand Hyatt was built within the airport’s new international Terminal D, which opened in 2005.
