Hyatt Regency Greenwich's $40M Renovations Set For Fall Completion

GREENWICH, CT — Hyatt Regency Greenwich and Trinity Investments on Thursday announced their multi-million dollar renovations are set for completion this fall, with the complete hotel redesign set to be unveiled in November.

The nearly $40 million renovations encompass updates to the pool and fitness center, a new atrium event space, the introduction of Glenna’s Cafe and Market alongside Townsend Bar, and a complete remodel of all 374 guest rooms and suites, according to a news release.

The renovation of the 28,000-square-foot meeting and event space was revealed in 2020. In late 2023, the property upgraded its indoor pool, hot tub and 24-hour fitness center featuring new cardio and strength equipment along with new Peloton bikes.

The next set of enhancements, expected to be finalized by the end of summer 2024, focus on the common spaces.

"Hyatt Regency Greenwich is a remarkable hotel with a rich past and bright future, and we are excited to showcase this through our thoughtful redesigns throughout the property," said Sherry Hicks-Buckles, general manager of Hyatt Regency Greenwich, in a news release. "Our team has been working diligently on the renovations to ensure the rooms and common spaces are visually brilliant while maximizing the guest experience, making every stay seamless and infusing the spirit of Old Greenwich."

The atrium-style lobby, well known in Greenwich and the surrounding areas for its greenery and unique greenhouse roof, will be entirely redesigned but will retain the familiar foliage.

Approximately 2,300 individual plants will be housed in the space – 800 more than were there previously – and visitors can enjoy drinks and bites from Townsend, a new moonlit garden bar, in the lobby which opened last month. The eatery serves craft cocktails, bar bites and shareable plates from late afternoon into the night.

In the center of the lobby, a fountain reminiscent of the original one on the grounds 100 years ago, will be installed as a further nod to the site’s past.

Opposite Townsend, the new Garden Court provides a flexible space with soft communal seating that can also be booked for private events.

Just off the lobby will be The Library, an old-world, gentleman-style lounge where guests can unwind with a drink, play a game of billiards, browse through vintage Condé Nast publications, or choose a cigar from the extensive humidor.

Also in the common area will be Glenna’s Cafe and Market, a coffee shop with house-made breakfast and lunch and an assortment of grab-and-go options.

The final stage of the new developments will be the 374 guest rooms, which will be renovated and redecorated.

"From the signature beds, elegantly framed by floral headboards, to open storage areas for convenient access, every aspect of the room has been designed with guest comfort in mind. Relaxing color schemes will create a true oasis, while modern amenities cater to the needs of today's traveler, including ample outlets and USB ports and a dedicated workstation," according to a news release.

In paying homage to its location in the 1920s home of Condé Nast Publishing’s printing operation, the hotel’s designs will incorporate iconic photos and illustrations from issues of magazines that were once printed on site at 1800 E. Putnam Ave.

"With 1,100 individual pieces of art in the guest room corridors alone, and even more featured in the guest rooms, the hallways will be a treasure trove of visual history and artistic inspiration," the news release noted. "With a color palette reminiscent of collegiate colors and the hues popular to the era, the revamped hotel will exude an exclusive, sophisticated ambiance. This design choice along with the vintage-inspired décor will acknowledge its coastal location along the Long Island Sound, creating an overall feel of a traditional property with modern flair."

Renovated guest rooms will be available for booking starting in August.

The rennovations come as the hotel is approaching its 40th anniversary in 2026.
