Now operating as Hotel Solea, the resort underwent a comprehensive, multi-million-dollar transformation that repositioned it to Marriott’s Autograph Collection.
Azul Hospitality Group managed the operational transition and repositioning for Grand Pacific Resorts, overseeing all aspects of the conversion while maintaining operations throughout the process. The successful repositioning further expands Azul’s long-standing relationship with Grand Pacific Resorts, which also includes management of two additional hotels in Carlsbad, including The Westin Carlsbad Resort & Spa and The Cassara Carlsbad, Tapestry Collection by Hilton.
Located in Carlsbad, California, Hotel Solea features 201 guestrooms and suites, several food-and-beverage outlets including signature restaurant Verise, and more than 70,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and event space for business and lifestyle events.
