Hyatt has announced that World of Hyatt® is welcoming back tennis star Jessica Pegula as a World of Hyatt® ambassador and becoming the official hospitality partner of Taste of Tennis at Indian Wells. The event will be hosted at Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas and reinforces the brand’s focus on experiences that blend travel, sport, and culture.
Pegula, consistently ranks at the top of the women’s game and returns as a key face of the brand. Known for her focus, authenticity, and balance both on and off the court, she will continue collaborating with World of Hyatt on storytelling initiatives, curated experiences, and fan engagement moments designed to resonate with travelers and tennis enthusiasts alike.
At the same time, World of Hyatt® is bringing its destination-driven hospitality approach to the Coachella Valley through its sponsorship of Taste of Tennis Indian Wells. Held ahead of the prestigious tournament in Indian Wells, the event combines world-class chefs, curated food and beverages, and the excitement of professional tennis in one of the sport’s most iconic settings.
The activation at Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas will feature immersive brand experiences that reflect the energy of the tournament and the spirit of the Pegula partnership. Pegula is set to join Chef Angelo Sosa, the culinary force behind the Tía Carmen concept at the resort (and a genuinely nice guy that I have had the pleasure of meeting a few times), for a cocktail-making experience for guests. Tía Carmen highlights wood-fired flavors and memory-driven Southwestern cuisine inspired by Sosa’s aunt.
Adding to the elevated experience, Dan Delgado, a mixologist from Park Hyatt Chicago, will curate a refined cocktail program that reflects the sophistication associated with the Park Hyatt brand. Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy a signature cocktail inspired by Park Hyatt as well as an electric-blue World of Hyatt® creation designed to capture the vibrancy and energy of the tournament atmosphere.
World of Hyatt® has indicated that this collaboration marks only the beginning of a broader tennis strategy. The brand plans to sponsor additional key players throughout the season and further expand its footprint in the sport by connecting its global membership base to exclusive, tennis-inspired experiences.
Anthony’s Take: World of Hyatt® is positioning itself at the intersection of premium hospitality and tennis with more exclusive experiences expected to be announced in the months ahead. Being married to a tennis fanatic means that I’ll have an eye on what is being offered.
