HOTEL HIGHLIGHT
THE LAFAYETTE
HOTEL AND CLUB
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA
Owned and developed by CH Projects, the new LaFayette Hotel & Club reflects the brand's commitment to creating properties that reflect the unique cultural fabric of San Diego.
The new LaFayette Hotel & Club offers a creative exploration with an ode to the original "city within a city" hotel concept. It goes beyond one-dimensional luxury, providing accessible indulgence in each of its food & beverage spots and 139 guest rooms. The hotel boasts a grand, ornate entryway and a variety of guest rooms, suites, and townhouses, all embracing traditional architectural styles with rich colors, textures, and patterns that turn the space into a unique and artistic experience.
Experience
Lulu’s Jungle Room & The Mississippi Room are conceived as Golden Era jazz bar and night club, housed in the hotel’s former event space. Both are designed with a level of fantasy and composed surrealism. One has clashing patterns of leopards, forest canopies, feathers, and fronds, while the other one is slightly pared down with decorative columns and patterned carpet that complement the original clam shell backdrop so that guests can focus on the live music act on stage.

Eat
The hotel offers six dining experiences, each of which has its own distinct mood yet mirrors the same grandeur and delight as the rest of the hotel.
–
Drink
The Pool Bar on the property is both composed and excessive with a sun-drenched stone patio cascading down into the checkered pool that is surrounded by abundant bougainvillea, citrus, and jasmine. Brightly colored, scalloped umbrellas shade striped chaise lounges and rattan clamshell chairs along the pool’s perimeter, all designed to evoke 1980’s luxury via the Amalfi Coast.

Do
The game room features a two-lane bowling alley, The Gutter, inspired by Henry Frick's personal bowling alley at the base of the Frick Museum. Guests are welcomed to a whimsical escape where they can drink classic cocktails as well as play pool and shuffleboard.
