HYATT REGENCY INDIAN WELLS RESORT & SPA KICKS OFF 30^TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIALS AND CELEBRATIONS

“Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort & Spa has been a desert landmark for decades now,” said General Manager Doug Sears. “As a vital member of our community, a regular destination for vacationing guests, a respite for those in search of both action and relaxation and a highly functional yet fun place to conduct business, this resort has become home away from home for so many loyal guests.”

Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort & Spa opened in 1986 under the name Grand Champions Resort. In 1987 Hyatt took over management of the resort and the Grand Champions tennis stadium debuted under the passionate leadership of tennis legend Charlie Pasarell. Grand Champions, Pasarell and the then-state-of-the-art stadium played host to the prestigious BNP Paribas Tennis Open (known throughout the years as many other tournament names) until 1999 as tennis elite including Pete Sampras, Steffi Graf, Boris Becker, Andre Agassi and many others competed. In 1999 the tennis stadium moved to larger facilities though it remains an iconic aspect of the resorts identity to this day. In 2003 the resort underwent a massive renovation and expansion. In 2012 the resort was renamed Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort & Spa and continues to showcase golf courses, tennis facilities, expansive luxurious spa, villas, fine dining and much more.

Today, Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort & Spa is one of the desert’s most alluring resorts for family escapes, meetings and events, weddings, romance and wellness retreats.
