Located in the heart of San Diego’s vibrant Gaslamp Quarter, Omni San
Diego Hotel [5] announces the completion of a top-to-bottom renovation.
This includes a redesigned poolside experience, two new foods, and
beverage concepts, refreshed meeting and event spaces, and reimagined
lobby and guest rooms. The AAA Four Diamond award-winning hotel is
located steps away from key landmarks such as Petco Park, Little Italy,
San Diego’s Convention Center and Seaport Village provide space to
curate memorable moments and enjoy an elevated escape amidst the city’s
bustling downtown district.
“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 SOCAL 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. Shades of green and brown are layered
throughout the property, complemented by thoughtful 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 throughout 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. Capturing the coastal California spirit, the
refreshed spaces reflect the hotel’s deep roots in Southern California,
seamlessly blending the vibrant energy of America’s favorite pastime
with the laid-back elegance of San Diego to create an inviting
atmosphere for all visitors.
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 that
overlooks the water, reflecting the area’s bright light and natural
energy into the space. The open-air terrace was designed with natural
materials and neutral tones, palm tree planters, a custom trellis
structure, and playful artwork inspired by San Diego’s pristine beaches
and coastal location. Tortuga’s Baja bites and robust beverage menu,
inspired by Executive Chef Wenceslao Zavala’s roots in Rosarito, Baja
California features dishes including _Grilled Baja Fish Tacos_ and
_Shrimp Adovada_, and signature cocktails such as the _Lychee Blossom,_
made with Yobo soju, lychee juice, cane syrup, fresh lemon juice and
aquafaba. Providing warmth and refreshing flavors to the space, Tortuga
introduces a new standard for poolside dining while paying homage to
its coastal roots.
The hotel’s new street-level restaurant and bar, Ace Porter – headed by
Director of Outlet Operations, Priscilla Reyes, and Executive Chef
