SURF'S UP
Development looks bright in the
quintessential beach city

San Diego isn't only about surfing, beachgoing,
and the boardshort and flip flop-clad set. The
oceanfront city is the second largest in California
with numerous universities (including University
of California, San Diego and University of
San Diego), three major sports teams, and a
slew of new and recently revamped hotels and
restaurants. According to Bruce Ford, senior
vice president of Lodging Econometrics, the city
has an active pipeline of 41 projects with 8,400
rooms. With about 484 hotels at 62,860 rooms
already existing, "if you built everything in the
pipeline, that's about 18 percent growth, which is

in the higher end of the spectrum," he says.
Projects in the works include a hotel
housed in a 1920s former YMCA Beaux-Arts
building by West Hollywood-based designer
Thomas Schoos (who also did Herringbone and
Searsucker restaurants for chef Brian Malarkey
in La Jolla and downtown San Diego), and
Atlanta firm tvsdesign is helping craft a $107
million investment into downtown's Marriott
Marquis San Diego Marina's meeting and events
space, adding more than 280,000 square feet of
venues, including two of the largest ballrooms
on the West Coast. A massive Swarovski
chandelier in the grand ballroom features more
than 400,000 crystals, and a walkway includes
two pieces by art collective After Architecture.
But it's the city's culinary scene that's a
major attraction, with notable chefs and owners
such as Malarkey and his latest venture, Herb
& Wood in Little Italy. "The restaurant scene

is moving in a great direction," says Gina
Champion-Cain, CEO of American National
Investments/the Patio Group and owner of
new restaurant Fireside by the Patio. "In the
past five years, there have been restaurateurs
and hospitality groups developing different
restaurant concepts [with] one common
theme-the bounty of the Pacific, produce
from local farmers, and purchasing plate and
glassware from local craftsmen." Brett Miller,
CEO of local hospitality group Eat.Drink.Sleep
agrees: "There's an ongoing trend in both travel
and culinary to strip away fussiness," he says.
Travelers "want luxury to feel authentic and
friendly. San Diego naturally benefits from this
trend because it's always had a laidback, cool
aesthetic," he adds.
Here's a look, by neighborhood, at some of
San Diego's latest design-forward hotels and
restaurants.
