Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas

The Grand Hyatt Indian Wells sits in the desert at Indian Wells, in the Greater Palm Springs area of California, with mountain views from most of its rooms, suites and villas. Guest rooms come with private balconies or patios, spa-style bathrooms, separate living and work areas, flat-screen televisions and coffee makers.

The resort runs nine pools, one section of which operates as a water park, giving families and groups several distinct places to spend time outdoors. A spa, tennis courts and golf facilities are also on site.

Five places to eat and drink operate within the property. Tía Carmen is the signature dining room; Carmocha and Vista Square Kitchen cover additional sit-down options; Camino Springs Market handles lighter provisions; and The Well serves drinks at the pool. Between them, you can move from a full meal to a poolside drink without going anywhere.

Nearby, the Indian Wells Tennis Garden hosts professional tournaments. The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens is a short drive away, as is the El Paseo shopping district. Indian Wells itself is a small, quiet city on the eastern side of the Greater Palm Springs region, which keeps it noticeably calmer than the busier communities to the northwest.
