SAN DIEGO, CA – Embassy Suites, the nation’s largest brand of upscale, all-suite hotels, announced today the completion of the significant renovation made to its San Diego Bay – Downtown location.

The $8.5 million project includes total restoration of the property’s atrium and lobby areas, completed updates to 341 guestrooms, a revamped fitness center and efficient re-design of the meeting spaces, hallways and guest areas.

The most prominent element of the project is the newly designed atrium and lobby, where guests will find entirely new flooring, lounge decor and furniture, as well as a new fountain, a large screen TV and a replica of the famous sculpture, BIRD. When arriving, visitors will be welcomed by a brand new front desk area, and an eye-catching concierge and business center. For guests looking to unwind and socialize, the atrium’s newly replaced skylight improves the area’s natural lighting and provides a comfortable and relaxing environment. Across the atrium, guests will find dining options for all tastes, including the only Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins in the downtown area, along with PFC Bar & Grill, which offers a selection of delicious seafood and American fare.

Accompanied by scenic ocean, bay and city views, Embassy Suites San Diego Bay – Downtown’s enhancements include new upholstery and flooring, as well as new decorative lighting fixtures, sophisticated planters and artwork around the entire property. Often frequented by business travellers due to proximity to the San Diego Airport, the establishment also improved its over 5,000 square feet of meeting and event space. In addition to its fully equipped technology, updates to the meeting areas’ floors include the latest light fixtures and furniture, which have amplified the setting of this space.

The hotels’ enhanced suite offerings, which are comprised of Executive and Presidential Suites, have all been contemporized, including updated furniture and refurbished bathroom amenities.
