The Lafayette Hotel

“Best hotel in all of San Diego... quite possibly the best hotel in the world. Even if you aren't staying the night, there is so much to enjoy at the Lafayette; catch a jazz show with mind-blowing cocktails at Lulu's, a late night snack at their 24 hour diner, Beginner's, or have world-class Mexican food at Quixote. There is even a bowling alley and pool club on site.”

“Historic hotel that got a full renovation a few years back. Every detail is so well thought out, a feast for the eyes! Haven’t had the pleasure of staying in one of the rooms, but I have eaten in Quixote (their Oaxacan-inspired restaurant) and imbibed at the Lobby Bar. Fair warning, it’s still quite buzzy and the area is tough for finding parking, valet is only for overnight guests.”

“If you’re into maxilimalism, be ready for an eyegasm. A bit of a shameless plus, but I equally loved working and staying there. Unless you’re afraid of snakes…”
