The new Geo-Deck was completely re-imagined, full of engaging innovations including an interactive digital display named the “Halo,” high powered zoom telescopes, walls and ceilings highlighted with color-changing lights and a floor designed as a stylized map of the city. Fast forward six years – on Octothe re-engineered Geo-Deck (named for architect Buckminster Fuller’s “geodesic sphere,” the tower’s fabled shape) reopened to the public. The observation deck was closed for repairs and renovations in the fall of 2007, and it underwent some minor renovations in 2008. The result was the Reunion Tower, which included an observation deck with a 360-degree unobstructed view over the area.
But that idea did not go over with the developers and it was decided that the revolving restaurant should have its own building. The original plan for the Reunion Project was a hotel with a revolving restaurant on top. I also wanted to check out Wolfgang Puck’s Five Sixty restaurant, where you can enjoy drinks, dinner, and a 360-degree view of the city, without leaving your seat (the restaurant is built on a revolving platform). The Tower had recently undergone some major renovations. To be honest, I wanted an excuse to go there myself. Since Dallas was built in the middle of a prairie (meaning it’s flat as a pancake), I thought the best way for my visitor to get a bird’s eye view of the area was to take him to Reunion Tower. If you’re staying at the Hyatt Regency Reunion hotel, you’ll never be lost!
Strategically located on the southwest edge of Dallas, the Tower, with it’s ever-changing light show, marks the entrance into downtown.
