New Hotels and Renovations

The historic Lafayette Hotel in North Park officially debuted its $31 million renovation. C.H. Projects, known for creating some of San Diego's most interesting restaurants and bars, transformed the property with 141 redesigned guestrooms, lobby space and pool, two new restaurants, a vintage bowling alley, cocktail bar, game room and an all-new pool bar.

The Hilton San Diego Gaslamp Quarter underwent a $22.5 million complete remodel of the full-service hotel and new restaurant concept, Wild Hare Bar Garden. The new interior design and architecture create a relaxed and fun urban vibe. The focal point is a beautifully carved maple wood wall with abstract, organic shapes and patterns that portray California’s casual lifestyle.

Set to open August 15, Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter will be California’s first urban Margaritaville location with 235 rooms, laid-back vibes, the Landshark Bar & Grill and the 5 O'Clock Somewhere Bar.

The St. James Hotel, originally built in the Gaslamp District in 1912, has been reimagined as Palihotel San Diego. The redesign brings Palisociety’s signature California quirky sensibility with nautical inspired charm to each of its 122 guest rooms. The hotel also features Saint James French Diner, an all-day dining room that blends the approachable nature of an American diner with the subtle elegance of a French bistro.
