Omni San Diego Hotel has wrapped up a comprehensive renovation, which includes a redesigned poolside experience, two new food and beverage concepts, refreshed meeting and event spaces, and reimagined lobby and guest rooms.

Located in the heart of San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter, the AAA Four Diamond award-winning hotel is located steps away from key landmarks such as Petco Park, Little Italy, the San Diego Convention Center, and Seaport Village.

“Omni San Diego Hotel is thrilled to unveil an enhanced guest experience, providing visitors and locals with a relaxing and rejuvenating place to stay while they immerse themselves in everything the city has to offer,” said Charles Cho, General Manager. “We are excited to showcase our new amenities to the public and welcome back baseball fans this season, just in time to take advantage of our Skybridge, which directly connects the hotel to the stadium.”

Elegant Social Design

Led by New York-based design studio, Jeffrey Beers International, Omni San Diego Hotel’s new aesthetic presents a warm and dynamic baseball-inspired design that pays homage to its connection with Petco Park and the San Diego Padres as well as capturing the coastal California spirit.

Shades of green and brown are layered throughout the property, complemented by details such as stitched leather panels at the reception desk, stadium-style light fixtures, geometric patterned carpets, and curated artwork that engages with the action and motion of baseball through history. The use of ash and maple-toned woods for custom furniture bases, focal planters and wall décor echoes the natural hues and materials of baseball bats, while wool-like fabrics and metal connect to the organic fabric of uniforms and gloves.

An Urban Retreat

The lobby exudes comfort and sophistication with earthy tones, sleek furniture and natural materials that reflect the outdoors. The open-concept lobby lounge area features a versatile array of seating arrangements from plush sofas to cozy armchairs and communal tables, fostering a social haven where people come together to live in the moment reignite their passions, and connect to the vibrant heart of the city.

The hotel’s 511 guest rooms are designed to immerse guests in the spirit of the city through casual luxury framed by breathtaking views of the San Diego Bay, the downtown skyline, and Petco Park. The transformed rooms showcase intricate craftsmanship, evident in the cross-hatched credenzas, chic curved couches and nightstands, and a combination of supple brown leather and rich velvet accents. Circular tables function as dining areas and desk space for a versatile environment that ignites imagination and curates engaging moments. The spa-like bathrooms offer a sleek space to get ready, with custom vanity mirrors designed by Munnworks, expansive sinks and artistic green tiles outlining walk-in showers. Each detail has been meticulously crafted to provide an unparalleled level of comfort and style, making every stay at Omni San Diego Hotel a truly opulent experience.

Group Gatherings

Situated directly across from the San Diego Convention Center, the Omni San Diego Hotel offers 32,000 square feet of flexible event space. The hotel boasts 24 versatile indoor and outdoor meeting areas. The Grand Ballroom can host up to 1,200 attendees and comes equipped with state-of-the-art AV technology, high-speed Wi-Fi, and dedicated professional services to ensure seamless event execution. Additionally, the hotel’s outdoor spaces provide scenic views and fresh air, ideal for breakout sessions, receptions, or alfresco dining experiences.

New Destination Dining

Perched on the hotel’s sixth floor, the reimagined Tortuga pool bar and terrace features multiple indoor lounges and an expansive pool deck (shown top of post) that overlooks the water. The open-air terrace was designed with natural materials and neutral tones, palm tree planters, a custom trellis structure, and artwork inspired by San Diego’s pristine beaches and coastal location.

Tortuga’s Baja bites and beverage menu, inspired by executive chef Wenceslao Zavala’s roots in Rosarito, Baja California, feature dishes including Grilled Baja Fish Tacos and Shrimp Adovada, and signature cocktails such as the Lychee Blossom.

The hotel’s new street-level restaurant and bar, Ace Porter – headed by director of Outlet Operations, Priscilla Reyes, and executive chef Wenceslao Zavala – offers guests and locals a taste of locally inspired, elevated fare. Positioned adjacent to the lobby and with a separate outside entrance, the communal space features a cylindrical bar dramatic light fixtures, stadium-inspired lighting, and wrap-around bottle display. Offering a selection of indoor, outdoor and high-top seating, diners can enjoy a playful menu of “Designated Hitters,” with dishes such as the Blistered Shishito Peppers, Vegetable Meze, and Frings Loaded Nachos for pre-and post-game bites.

For a quick bite, the hotel’s lobby-side restaurant, Fres.co Market + Café, is open for breakfast and lunch, offering a variety of freshly prepared baked goods and house-made grab-and-go offerings, along with Stance coffee, espresso drinks, wine and beer.

Relax & Unwind

Overlooking the city, Omni San Diego Hotel’s newly designed, 8,000 square-foot rooftop pool reveals sweeping views of San Diego’s sun and skyline. Shaded daybeds and lounge chairs line the pool deck, along with private cabanas designed by Indo Puri, complete with lounge furniture and mounted televisions.  The hotel also offers wellness experiences including massage therapy with body care specialists, and a full-service fitness center equipped with a variety of workout equipment, from Pelotons to Stairmasters to free weights.
