For half a century, Hyatt Regency has stood as a defining landmark in downtown Phoenix, welcoming travelers, locals, and global visitors through its iconic atrium doors. In January 2026, the hotel will celebrate its 50th anniversary, marking five decades as a cornerstone of the city’s hospitality scene and a gathering place for moments both memorable and meaningful.
Since opening in 1976, the hotel has mirrored the evolution of Phoenix itself, hosting major events, welcoming dignitaries, and serving as a backdrop for countless celebrations. From its early days as a modern architectural statement to its continued role as a hub for business, leisure, and culture, Hyatt Regency Phoenix has remained a constant presence in the city’s story.
“For 50 years, Hyatt Regency Phoenix has embodied the spirit of purpose that defines our brand: thoughtful care, authentic hospitality, and unique spaces that bring people together,” General Manager Eric Fink said. “Our history is filled with remarkable guests, unforgettable celebrations, and a community we are honored to serve every day.”
To commemorate the milestone, the hotel is introducing a yearlong series of celebratory offerings designed to honor its legacy. A special “Signature Stay” package will be available throughout the anniversary year, featuring flexible check-in and check-out, breakfast for registered guests, complimentary self-parking, and thoughtful touches that reflect Hyatt’s longstanding commitment to comfort and service.
Guests can also experience the limited time “Culinary Delight” package at Compass, downtown Phoenix’s only revolving restaurant. The offering includes preferred rates, a complimentary sparkling wine welcome, and enhanced dining designed to highlight the restaurant’s cuisine and panoramic city views.
Over the decades, Hyatt Regency Phoenix has hosted national conventions and Super Bowl celebrations to intimate gatherings and milestone moments. Rising above downtown’s skyline, the hotel has become a recognizable symbol of the city itself captured in photographs and memories across generations.
Throughout the anniversary year, the hotel will spotlight defining moments from its past, celebrating its Western roots, cultural influence, and continued role as a gathering place. Learn more by visiting hyatt.com.
