Elite Overview

Rate this property
Sparkling lagoons, swaying palms, and views of the Santa Rosa Mountains surround the deluxe accommodations and group facilities at Hyatt Grand Champions Resort, Villas and Spa. A recipient of the AAA Four Diamond Award for 22 years, the resort welcomes attendees to the prestigious enclave of Indian Wells, just minutes from Palm Springs and the desert’s natural wonders.

Large groups convene in the Indian Wells Conference Center with two ballrooms and a state-of-the-art banquet kitchen. Numerous gardens and terraces overlook a lake on the eighteenth green of the neighboring Indian Wells Golf Resort, home of two 18-hole championship courses. For small to midsize gatherings, meeting space on the main building’s second floor includes a third ballroom, breakout rooms and boardrooms, and a covered terrace for catered events.

Whatever the venue, Hyatt’s professional planners and technicians ensure that everything runs smoothly. Intriguing corporate games build team unity and break the ice, and spouses appreciate events like chef demonstrations and wine pairings. A private, adults-only pool boasts cabanas with TVs and Wi-Fi, while the Agua Serena Spa—where all treatment rooms have terraces and outdoor showers—delivers premier pampering as well as antiaging treatments.

Though all of the resort’s rooms and suites feature top-drawer amenities and private balconies or patios, the ultimate luxury waits in 43 villas—each with its own courtyard, whirlpool spa, barbecue, and personal butler service.

Our group had a good experience at this resort. My CSM was always available, quick and ready to help. Our event went very smoothly and I didn't hear any complaints or negative comments from our attendees. The Indian Wells Golf Course, next door to the resort, also provides an alternative dining option for guests, which I thought was pretty cool.

Unfortunately there was a lot of construction going on and it deterred from the beauty of the grounds and the golf course but overall it was a nice experience.

First, pulling up to the Hyatt is quite a pleasure for the eyes. The grounds are spectacularly well kept. And everywhere I turned, the staff was helpful without being overly solicitous­­— they all seemed genuinely happy to be there.

As winners, the Condons receive dinner for two each month for one year.
