It was designed by architectural firm JV III (a joint venture between firms Caudill Rowlett Scott, Neuhaus & Taylor, and Koetter, Tharp & Cowell).

Today, it is used as function space. The hotel's 29-story atrium, one of the highest in Texas, was used as a filming location in the 1976 film Logan's Run . [6] [7]
Hyatt Regency Houston was a host hotel for the 1992 Republican National Convention, the 16th G7 Economic Summit in 1990, and the 1998 World Energy Congress.
