The Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

The hotel will occupy the site of the current Solamar Hotel. Following extensive renovations and a full conversion of the existing hotel, estimated at approximately $20.0 million, the Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter will feature spaces reflecting the Margaritaville state of mind.

“We are thrilled to collaborate on our second hotel with Pebblebrook, a team that values quality design, creativity and engaging guest experiences,” said John Cohlan, Chief Executive Officer of Margaritaville. “The iconic Gaslamp District, with its dynamic nightlife, signature events and proximity to the home of the Padres, fits perfectly with the Margaritaville lifestyle. We look forward to contributing to the fun and adding a new place to relax and escape downtown.”

Pebblebrook acquired the Solamar Hotel in 2018 and will assist with the transition along with the resort’s current management company, Davidson Hotels & Resorts. Davidson Hotels & Resorts will operate the property as Solamar Hotel until the hotel is reflagged and will continue to manage the property following the completion of the renovation and rebranding program.

Margaritaville, a state of mind since 1977, is a global lifestyle brand inspired by the lyrics and lifestyle of singer, songwriter and best-selling author Jimmy Buffett, whose songs evoke a passion for tropical escape and relaxation.
