Undeniably Southern Californian, the hotel is charged with local creative energy, speaking to discerning travelers who appreciate the unpretentious vibes of San Diego County.
A dining destination in its own right, Mission Pacific is home to Valle, a MICHELIN-starred restaurant from Baja’s acclaimed chef Roberto Alcocer, paying homage to Mexico’s Valle de Guadalupe.

Additional onsite venues include High/Low and The Rooftop Bar, an all-day beach club oasis with sunset views and regular DJ sessions.
