It’s a respite from the everyday, where guests take their pick from a handful of elegantly designed rooms in a carefully restored historic landmark home…
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego sits across the street, while coastal bluffs and ocean coves are a short walk away.
The rooms
The bi-level Penthouse features an ocean-view terrace, while other rooms showcase arched entries, vintage turntables, and custom tile bathrooms.
In-room recovery
Infrared sauna blankets and PEMF mats are available on request for private recovery in your room.
Dogs stay too.
Brew Bar
Brass taps set into green marble pour complimentary local cold brew and kombucha throughout the day.
How it began
Built in 1913 for a local lemon rancher, the property served as an inn for decades before two hometown siblings restored its heritage.
