In Greater Palm Springs—which includes the cities of Palm Springs, Desert Hot Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Indio, and Coachella—attendees find themselves immersed in lush, colorful landscapes and mountain vistas that not only rejuvenate but also inspire. Beneath swaying palm trees and boundless sunshine, an oasis emerges—a place where creativity and connectivity flourish, transforming every event into an extraordinary moment.
This is not a meetings mirage—it is the reality of meeting in Greater Palm Springs. From a stress-free airport to team-building excursions amid whimsical Joshua trees to a sprawling 261,000-square-foot convention center, everything you need for a successful meeting is here.
And with 30-plus nonstop flights and connections to over 300 destinations worldwide, Palm Springs has never been easier to get to—and the addition of a new daily nonstop flight from Washington, D.C., last December makes the destination even more accessible from the Washington, D.C., area and the East Coast. Plus, a recent multimillion-dollar renovation has enhanced almost every aspect of the traveler experience at Palm Springs International Airport, introducing new inspired food and retail vendors.
What’s New?
Once you have touched down, discover exciting attractions and venues like the new Palm Springs Surf Club, which boasts a state-of-the-art wave pool and lazy river, two restaurants, and private event space. The Agua Caliente Cultural Plaza is another unique addition to the destination’s team-building and event venues; it features The Spa at Séc-he, with ancient hot mineral spring waters, and the Agua Caliente Cultural Museum, which celebrates the history, culture, and modern achievements of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians.
You will also find the recently opened Thompson Palm Springs, a midcentury modern-inspired hotel with 168 luxury guest rooms and unrivaled amenities including a signature restaurant, the Hall Napa Valley Tasting Room & Wine Lounge, and immersive views of the San Jacinto Mountains—especially from the two outdoor pools.
And a $64 million property-wide renovation ushers in a new era of luxury at the iconic Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas (formerly Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort & Spa), with refreshed meeting and event spaces, two new dining concepts, redesigned guest rooms, and other enhancements.
Sunny Meeting Spaces
Greater Palm Springs offers plenty of outdoor meeting spaces for your group to soak up the year-round sunshine and beautiful views, with many properties featuring expansive patios, courtyards, and grassy lawns.
