Hotel Solea, Autograph Collection, to Debut in Spring 2026 Following Multi-Million-Dollar Transformation in Carlsbad, California

North County San Diego is set to welcome a new luxury destination with the debut of Hotel Solea, an Autograph Collection property, opening Spring 2026 in Carlsbad, California.

The property will undergo a multi-million-dollar transformation of the former Sheraton Carlsbad, reemerging as a boutique-inspired, botanical escape that blends modern design with coastal energy. The reimagined hotel will position Carlsbad as a premier destination for sophisticated leisure travelers, couples, and groups seeking a design-forward stay.

Hotel Solea Highlights Include:

  • Verise, a vibrant new Italian restaurant and bar featuring seasonal, locally sourced cuisine
  • A fully reimagined pool and cabana experience
  • 70,000 square feet of elevated indoor/outdoor wedding and meeting spaces
  • A premium location just minutes from Carlsbad Village, pristine beaches, world-class golf, LEGOLAND (with private entrance), and the iconic Flower Fields

Alongside Hotel Solea, The Westin Carlsbad Resort & Spa will continue to provide a refined coastal escape, featuring Ocean Pearl Spa with ocean-inspired treatments, the WestinWORKOUT Fitness Center with gear-lending kits, and 20|TWENTY restaurant showcasing California coastal cuisine with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean.

Together, Hotel Solea and The Westin Carlsbad will establish a compelling destination in Carlsbad, further anchoring North County San Diego as a premier coastal getaway for design-driven, wellness-focused, lifestyle, and family travelers.
