The iconic Lafayette Hotel in San Diego is reborn through a stunning redesign that blends vintage glamour with modern sophistication. Once a retreat for stars like Bob Hope and Ava Gardner, the hotel has been reimagined by Post Company, preserving its retro spirit while adding a bold, contemporary edge.
Every corner of the Lafayette pays homage to old Hollywood, featuring vibrant colors, custom furniture, and art deco touches. The central pool remains the heart of the property, while its bars and restaurants deliver an experience that balances nostalgia with innovation.
With its refreshed identity, the Lafayette Hotel is not just a boutique stay — it’s a living tribute to 1950s Californian charm, reimagined for the modern traveler.
