LOS ANGELES, Oct. 14, 2026 – JLL Capital Markets, Hospitality Finance Group announced today that it has arranged $210 million in refinancing for the Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas, a 531-key luxury resort situated on 45 acres at 44600 Indian Wells Lane in Indian Wells, California.
JLL worked on behalf of Trinity Investments to secure the five-year, floating-rate SASB CMBS loan through Citi.
Situated on a 45-acre campus in the heart of the Coachella Valley, Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas recently completed a transformative $62 million renovation and conversion to the Grand Hyatt flag. The AAA Four Diamond resort features 531 accommodations, including 449 guestrooms, 39 suites and 43 villas. The property also offers more than 88,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and event space, making it one of the region's premier destinations for corporate meetings, conventions, weddings and social events.
The resort's amenity offering includes nine pools, a destination water park with waterslides and a lazy river, a 30,000-square-foot Agua Serena Spa & Wellness center, six food-and-beverage venues, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center and preferred access to the adjacent Indian Wells Golf Resort. The villa collection provides private outdoor living areas and dedicated guest services, further differentiating the property within the luxury resort segment.
Grand Hyatt Indian Wells benefits from a strategic location near the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, Empire Polo Club, El Paseo shopping district, PGA West and numerous luxury residential communities throughout the Coachella Valley. The property is approximately 30 minutes from Palm Springs International Airport and benefits from convenient access to major drive-to markets including Los Angeles, San Diego and Phoenix. The surrounding market is supported by a combination of luxury leisure travel, corporate retreats, championship golf, professional tennis, major music festivals, entertainment venues and affluent seasonal residents.
The JLL Hotels & Hospitality Group team was led by Managing Director Mike Huth (CA DRE# 01993911) and Analyst Jade Lewin (CA DRE# 02283109) with strategic oversight from Kevin Davis, CEO Americas Hotels & Hospitality Group.
"The hospitality financing market has shown meaningful momentum this year, with lenders focusing capital on repositioned assets with institutional sponsorship in markets where supply constraints support sustained performance," said Kevin Davis. "Full-service and resort properties that have undergone significant capital investment in irreplaceable locations continue to attract strong interest from debt providers."
"The combination of a recently transformed flagship resort, institutional sponsorship and one of the country's most established leisure destinations made this a compelling financing opportunity," Huth said, "Grand Hyatt Indian Wells benefits from diversified demand drivers throughout the year and an array of amenities and meeting infrastructure that is difficult to replicate in today's development environment."
