?? I had an incredible whirlwind of site visits in the stunning city of San Diego! Who managed to visit 11 venues (hotels, offsite venues, restaurants for private events) in just 48 hours? ??♀? This gal! A huge thank you to the San Diego Tourism Authority for showcasing your "sunsational" city to a group of us planners. I thought I knew San Diego, but La Jolla – “the Beverly Hills of San Diego” – truly impressed me!?#lifegoals Here are my top highlights from the trip: - Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa: Fresh off a $26 million renovation, this property looks absolutely stunning! Every guestroom has a patio or balcony – highly recommend! - Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego: The indoor/outdoor spaces with ocean views are breathtaking. Our catered lunch here was simply first class. - Coast Walk Trail: Hiking the oceanside trails was pure bliss, breathing in the ocean air and laughing at the sea lions chatting in the background! - Callie (restaurant): Dining at this new restaurant and meeting the passionate Chef Travis Swikard was a treat. Can’t wait to return (again and again)! - Omni San Diego Hotel: The newly renovated pool level is a must-see! Tortuga Lounge on the rooftop and Sail Terrace on the 6th floor offer stunning views of the Bay. Thanks to Rachel Giraud for the cheese and crackers – you know the way to my heart! - The Lodge at Torrey Pines: Stunning water views along the coast, lush greens of the golf course, a luxurious feel throughout the resort, a unique atmosphere, and a welcoming staff. I’m thrilled to book this property for an upcoming group. They’ll be in excellent hands! Here’s a quick rundown of all the amazing properties and venues we visited (if you want any feedback, please reach out and I’ll share my notes): Estancia La Jolla Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine Grande Colonial Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego La Jolla Hotel Republic Callie Omni San Diego San Diego Zoo Rancho Bernardo Inn Fairmont Grand Del Mar Lodge at Torrey Pines A special shoutout to our fabulous hostesses: Debbie Jordan, CASE, CTA: Thank you for inviting me / EvSo!
