Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort & Spa is a pet-friendly resort located in the exclusive community of Indian Wells, in the Greater Palm Springs area. Spread across 45 acres of manicured gardens, the resort offers casual elegance, premium amenities and service, and a wide range of activities — from poolside relaxation to golf and spa treatments. The resort welcomes traveling dogs, though some restrictions apply. Guests should speak with a reservations agent at least three days before arrival to let them know a dog will be joining the stay.

Dogs are not allowed in restaurants, the pool area, the spa, or event spaces, so plan accordingly — but the resort’s expansive grounds provide plenty of room for leashed walks through the gardens and pathways. The wide open layout means you won’t feel cramped, and early morning or evening strolls through the property are actually quite pleasant when temperatures drop.

Indian Wells itself is a quiet, upscale community with wide streets and well-kept neighborhoods that make for pleasant walks with your dog. The area has a relaxed feel despite its upscale reputation, which means fewer crowds than you might expect. Nearby attractions include The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens in Palm Desert, which allows leashed dogs on certain trails during cooler months, and the El Paseo Shopping District, where several restaurants offer dog-friendly patio seating. The Indian Tennis Garden, home to the BNP Paribas Open, is also just down the road if you’re interested in exploring that landmark.

If your dog is used to accompanying you during a golf getaway or spa weekend, this resort works better than most — you just need to be realistic about where your dog can actually go during your stay. The key is planning activities that don’t center on the dog-restricted areas. Contact the resort’s reservations team well in advance to discuss your specific needs and any additional pet fees that may apply.
