Gaylord Hotels has a relatively small footprint, with just a handful of properties. However, the brand has extended, recently opening the first Gaylord property in California: Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center.
This $1.3 billion property features 1,600 guestrooms, 12 dining and drinking options, nearly 500,000 square feet of meeting and event space, and a 4.25-acre waterpark and pool complex. Guestrooms include multiple suite options, the largest measuring 3,254 square feet and offering indoor and outdoor space, views of the Pacific, and expansive living space. Dining options include a steakhouse, sports bar and sushi restaurant, among others. There are likewise two restaurants within the pool and waterpark area, alongside the multiple pools, lazy river and cabanas.
“The debut of Gaylord Pacific marks a transformative milestone for the Gaylord Hotels brand,” said Johann Krieger, vice president and managing director, Gaylord Hotels. “Bringing our signature all-under-one-roof experience and expertise bringing people together for extraordinary experiences to the West Coast for the first time is a proud moment for our team and a meaningful expansion of our portfolio. This opening celebrates a decade-long collaboration with the City of Chula Vista and the Port of San Diego, and we’re excited to become part of this vibrant community.”
