The Westin San Diego Bayview has completed a $20 million renovation, transforming its 436 guestrooms and meeting spaces in downtown San Diego. The hotel is located near the waterfront near the Gaslamp Quarter and destinations like Petco Park and the San Diego Zoo.
“In concert with our exceptional team and amenities, this renovation exemplifies our commitment to delivering an unparalleled experience for groups, events, meetings and leisure travelers,” General Manager Peter Engard said in a statement. “We seamlessly blend modern aesthetics with the well-being initiatives that define the Westin brand. Guests flock to our hotel for an elevated experience, so it was important to us to offer contemporary and sophisticated meeting and guestroom accommodations to match that.”
Aimbridge Hospitality operates the property and oversaw the renovation, with design by HVSDesign.
The new design of the hotel’s 436 rooms, including five suites, blends tranquility and nature. The reimagined rooms, with options for city or bay views, come to life through organic elements and a soothing color palette, infused with natural accents like headboard wall coverings made of soft, natural cork with pink hues and a metallic sheen. The lighting crafted from natural elements reveals captivating patterns along the walls when illuminated, enhancing the peaceful environment.
The hotel’s meeting spaces have also been revitalized to have contemporary and sophisticated accommodations for events of all sizes. These spaces, which span more than 30,000 square feet of space, can accommodate various group sizes and have been updated to feature state-of-the-art amenities in a refreshed space to ensure a seamless experience for corporate meetings, social gatherings and more.
“From the moment guests step off the elevator, they are greeted with delicate tones and a meandering carpet pattern that leads them to a memorable in-room experience, with our intention to create spaces where guests felt like they could truly take a break from the bustling city center where the hotel is located,” said Michelle West, design director at HVSDesign. “We pulled in elements that celebrate the natural beauty of the neighboring San Diego beaches, while weaving in design elements that fit with the building’s distinct architecture to give Westin guests an all-new experience in this iconic building.”
