OCEANSIDE, CA — The hotel boom in Oceanside is expected to heat up this summer with the debut of three upscale new hotels and a newly renovated hotel.

“These new and renovated hotels add to the exciting forward momentum in Oceanside and are a perfect complement to the flourishing local dining scene that has taken off in recent years,” says Leslee Gaul, CEO of Visit Oceanside. “We are thrilled for visitors to have more choices when it comes to where to stay so that they can more easily experience our wealth of unique offerings from arts and cultural programs to outdoor adventure and family-friendly fun.”

Slated to open summer 2021, The Brick Hotel has reimagined a historic 1888 downtown building into a modern boutique hotel with peek ocean views that is ideally located near museums, theaters, restaurants and the popular Thursday-night Sunset market. Owned by a local Oceanside family, the property has been lovingly and diligently restored with much of the original brick façade preserved. With just 10 rooms, The Brick Hotel will cater to a digitally savvy traveler who values modern, self-serve convenience in a more intimate environment. It will also be one of the only dog-friendly hotels in the city with two rooms designated for those traveling with canine companions. The Brick Hotel experience also will introduce exciting new venues for both locals and guests that include a rooftop bar with ocean views, first-floor restaurant, local coffee bar and the newly opened Frankie’s Cocktail Lounge, a swanky gathering place serving creative local cocktails. In addition, the hotel has partnered with Stone Tasting Room Oceanside, which is located just behind the property, to create direct access for hotel guests and provide food service to the popular local beer garden.

Mission Pacific Hotel, a Joie de Vivre hotel, will be the first to open of two hotels that complete Oceanside’s long-awaited beach resort development fronting the picturesque historic pier and beach. Targeting a mid-May opening, Mission Pacific offers guests a laid back and bohemian-chic vibe with 161 guest rooms, a rooftop pool and bar, expansive meeting space and a permanent art collection sourced by the Oceanside Museum of Art. The hotel will be home to Valle, the first stateside restaurant of celebrated Guadalupe Chef Roberto Alcocer. In addition, Oceanside’s historic Top Gun house has also found a permanent home at the property and is undergoing an authentic restoration to debut as a curated outlet for locals and visitors to enjoy.

The Seabird Resort

Mission Pacific’s sister property, The Seabird Resort by Destination Hotels, is also set to open late spring. This classic oceanfront resort boasts a relaxed, estate-by-the-beach vibe with 226 guest rooms— many with balconies and ocean views— an expansive pool with indoor/outdoor living room, and a rejuvenating spa featuring unique custom treatments. Ocean view meeting space, farm-to-table cuisine from Chef Kurtis Habecker and local art curated by the Oceanside Museum of Art round out the breezy seaside experience located just steps from the sand.

SpringHill Suites Oceanside Renovation

To complement the new hotel development, the surf inspired SpringHill Suites Marriott Oceanside is getting a makeover of its own. A nearly $4 million investment has infused common spaces and guests rooms with an elevated and modern beachy vibe using natural textures, wood accents and muted tones of grays and blues. The first-floor game room is being transformed into “The Board House” featuring a variety of recreational items from surfboards to bikes and beach towels that allow guests to experience Oceanside’s beach lifestyle and outdoor fun. Coastal artwork and surf culture vibe will be evident throughout the property, which caters to visitors seeking suite-like accommodations, comfort, value and a prime coastal location.
