Guest rooms and suites feature bold geometric shapes, subdued hues, and a lovely pop of purple. Travelers absolutely love the suite-like arrangement of rooms that allow ample place to lounge and work. Top-notch amenities are ever-present when you’re ready to catch up on your much needed R&R.

We love how the guest rooms complement San Diego’s casual, spirited vibe. Guests relish in recently-refreshed rooms true to San Diego’s warm, inviting nature. Highlights include a carved settee, surfboard-shaped vanity mirror, and a subtle (yet much appreciated) palette of blue, gold, ebony, and berry.
