InterContinental Expands Southern California Footprint

Published: September 21, 2018

The InterContinental San Diego has debuted along the city’s scenic Bayfront, joining IHG’s two additional southern California properties in Los Angeles. The new urban retreat is anchored in a sense of place with a design from Torrance, California-based design firm Linda Snyder Associates.

Situated upon the historic grounds of Lane Field, formerly home to the San Diego Padres, the 19-story property comprises 400 guestrooms and 24 suites, all of which are clad with floor-to-ceiling windows.

Extensive daylighting has been incorporated into the 35,000 square feet of versatile indoor meeting and event space; an additional 60,000 square feet of outdoor venues are also featured. The hotel’s 12,000-square-foot Pacific ballroom accommodates up to 1,500 guests against a backdrop of the city framed by full-length windows. The hotel’s fourth floor is home to the rooftop pool, sundeck, and pool bar, as well as the 3,300-square-foot health and wellness center, which features a yoga terrace.

Later this fall, the property will roll out new F&B options including the first West Coast iteration of Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse. A Starbucks and 19th-floor bar will arrive early next year.
