As the year drew to a close, I embarked on a memorable journey alongside my colleague and friend, Karen Myers from HPN Global. This trip was not just about reflecting on a year of collaboration but also about exploring some of San Diego’s most iconic venues for meetings and events.
From the waterfront elegance of Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina to the luxurious retreat of Fairmont Grand Del Mar and the vibrant charm of Omni La Costa Resort & Spa, each location offered unique experiences and exceptional hospitality. Here’s a closer look at these standout venues and what makes them ideal for your next event.
Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina
Located just minutes from San Diego International Airport, the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina blends convenience with modern elegance. Recently renovated, this property provides versatile event spaces perfect for conferences, corporate meetings, and social gatherings.
Our visit, hosted by Chris DeVito from KSL Resorts, along with John Rovie, Ryan Buzzard, and their outstanding team, showcased the hotel’s dedication to excellence. The highlight of our stay was an evening at BreweryX, where the culinary artistry of their chef left us in awe.
For event planners, Sheraton San Diego offers stunning waterfront views, state-of-the-art facilities, and exceptional service, making it a top choice for hosting impactful events.
Fairmont Grand Del Mar
Nestled in the rolling hills of Del Mar, the Fairmont Grand Del Mar exudes timeless luxury and sophistication. This enchanting retreat boasts a world-class golf course, serene spa, equestrian center, and the acclaimed three-star Michelin restaurant, Addison, led by Chef William Bradley.
Special thanks to Dana Cooper, Susan Penman, and Chris DeVito for curating an impeccable experience during our stay. The resort’s seamless blend of elegance and functionality makes it an unparalleled venue for hosting upscale meetings, retreats, and celebrations.
Whether you’re organizing an executive retreat or a lavish gala, the Fairmont Grand Del Mar offers a setting that is sure to impress.
Omni La Costa Resort & Spa
Our final stop was the vibrant and inviting Omni La Costa Resort & Spa, the host venue for this year’s SITE SoCal charity event supporting local San Diego nonprofits.
This resort offers expansive event spaces, luxurious accommodations, and a variety of activities to enhance any gathering. One of the highlights of our visit was participating in a 5K with my new friend MaryKay Lui from the Hawaii Visitors & Conventions Bureau—an example of the connections and camaraderie fostered by events at Omni La Costa.
Thank you to Chris DeVito from KSL Resorts for the gracious invitation and to Jessica Martino from Omni La Costa for the warm hospitality. This venue stands out as a vibrant and versatile location for events of all sizes.
