The Vibe: Mid-century California coastal.
The Area: In San Diego’s Point Loma neighborhood, within walking distance of swimming and surf beaches, and downtown San Diego just minutes away.
The DNA: Newly redesigned to celebrate the boutique hotel’s 1960s aesthetic paired with sustainability without compromising style, The Pearl Hotel welcomes guests with refurbished guest rooms, lobby and public spaces along with an updated dining experience at onsite restaurant, Charles + Dinorah. The iconic oyster-shaped pool remains at the center of the property with updated outdoor furnishings for dining, cabanas and landscaping. In the lobby, a custom Italian-inspired leather sectional frames the entirety of the space with glowing glass pendants, jewel-toned accents and marble bistro tables defining the lounge seating. Changes to the lounge & bar areas include new custom lighting and furniture. A crystal green quartzite bar top, handmade ceramic tile at the bar die wall and custom walnut millwork bring a moody, earthy tone to the interior space.
Suite-Me-Up: Each of guest rooms boasts neutral tones, honest materials and organic textures such as linen drapery, slab cotton headboards, cane back chairs, handcrafted ceramic lamps, and flat-woven rugs in shades of sand, ivory, brown and taupe. Walls washed in white create a bright, airy atmosphere while an open-concept closet adds a visual element. Solid wood furnishings, such as floating Acacia wood nightstands, and vintage art act as statement pieces, effortlessly combining the understated cool of Point Loma with a contemporary take on mid-century style. As a nod to the hotel’s name, the in- room artwork pays homage to the remarkable female ama pearl divers known to hold their breath underwater for extended periods of time while harvesting oysters.
Suite-Me-Up: In line with the owning company Casetta’s ongoing commitment to eco-friendly travel, guest rooms are outfitted with Parachute bedding and bath linens, certified organic bath amenities, and custom-designed Finery bathrobes. Among other guest amenities are Ocean Bottle reusable water bottles, made in part from ocean-bound recycled materials, and Roen x Casetta 001 candles created with an exclusive blend of coconut wax.
