After the completion of phase I of renovation of Rio Hotel & Casino, the iconic property in Las Vegas has officially joined the Hyatt group as a Destination by Hyatt brand.
In a press statement, Hyatt Hotels says that the first phase of a USD 340 million property-wide transformation of Rio Hotels and Casino, owned and managed by Dreamscape Companies, has been completed and now as part of the Destination by Hyatt brand and World of Hyatt loyalty programme, Rio connects customers and members to both the people and place of Las Vegas offering them a sense of belonging and the immersive experiences they crave.
The renovation is part of a larger vision to create a vibrant and dynamic lifestyle experience
The statement adds that as the largest property within Hyatt’s global hotel portfolio, based on room count, and the first Destination by Hyatt hotel in Nevada, Rio strengthens World of Hyatt’s brand footprint in the one of the world’s most vibrant destinations for leisure, convention and group travel.

We are excited for our members and guests to discover the experiences that make Rio Las Vegas a standout destination for global travellers,” says Mike Waddell, SVP, Global Franchise Operations, Hyatt.
The statement adds that phase I of Rio’s renovation included the full redesign and modernisation of the all-suite resort’s 1,500-room Ipanema Tower featuring a new look inspired by the vibrant spirit of Rio de Janeiro.
