Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa Makes Top Twenty on
Travel + Leisure’s “World’s Best Family Hotels & Cruises” List
LOST PINES, TX (October 2010) -- Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa has been
ranked #18 in the top 50 list for the U.S. and Canada in the recently published Travel + Leisure
magazine’s 2010 list of the “World’s Top Family Hotels and Cruises.” The family-friendly resort
located between Austin and Bastrop is one of only four Texas properties that were selected for
inclusion on this prestigious list. Of the Texas properties that were chosen, Hyatt Regency Lost
Pines claimed the top spot and is the only one from the Central Texas region.
“We are very pleased and honored to have been selected for this recognition. I am especially
thankful to all of our associates whose effort and commitment have made this possible,” stated
Steve Dewire, general manager, Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa. “It has been our
goal to create an environment that sincerely welcomes all of our guests with authentic hospitali-
ty while offering an extensive variety of entertainment, recreation and nature-based activities
that engage guests of all ages.” Dewire added. “We are also fortunate to have the town of Ba-
strop as our neighbor and community partner. The town, named one of the 2010 Dozen Distinc-
tive Destinations by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, extends a warm welcome that
enhances the guest experience.”
Hyatt Regency Lost Pines claims a beautiful and secluded location on the banks of the Colora-
do River that appeals to families who find the property naturally conducive to exploration, dis-
covery and learning. The resort has integrated local and regional history, flora and fauna educa-
tion, astronomy and even domesticated livestock into its programming. Stargazing on the driv-
ing range at Wolfdancer gives a breathtaking glimpse at the expansive Texas nighttime sky.
The “Be Kind to Texas Animals” program introduces guests of all ages to Texas wildlife such as
the American Alligator, a box turtle, and a non-venomous snake in hands-on education ses-

popular attractions. Julius and Caesar provide guests with a tour of the property via a giant red
wagon while T-Bone and RibEye entertain guests through meet and greets throughout the
resort. The longhorns have been saddle-broken and will gladly allow guests to sit on their backs
for some truly memorable family photos.
Hyatt Regency Lost Pines also offers championship golf, adult and youth spas, horseback rid-
ing, archery, and skeet shooting. A partnership with McKinney Roughs Nature Park also pro-
vides guests the opportunity to kayak, river raft, zip line, climb a rock wall or hike 16 miles of
trails connecting the resort and the park. Camp Hyatt provides an entertaining option for child-
ren between three and twelve years of age with supervised games, indoor and outdoor activi-
ties, and nature-based crafts. There are also many options for fun in the sun and water at the
