What's New in San Diego, Summer 2019 April 2019 Major Attractions in March 2019, LEGOLAND California Water Park Opened Riptide Sarah Weinberg (619) 557-2838 [email protected] Robert Arends (619) 557 -2834 [email protected] Edna Gutierrez (619) 557-2887 [email protected] Joe Timko (619) 557-2812 [email protected] PR’s Twitter @VisitSD_PR www.sandiego.org What’s New in San Diego, Summer 2019 April 2019 Major Attractions In March 2019, LEGOLAND California Water Park opened Riptide Racers, the newest slide in the Surfer’s Cove water park. Guests grab a mat and race down one of six water slides side by side, making it fun to try to be the fastest in the family. (4/19) SeaWorld San Diego’s new dueling roller coaster, Tidal Twister, will make its debut on May 24, 2019. A first of its kind adventure, this unique ride is an exhilarating experience that demonstrates the power of the ocean. Accelerating to 30 mph, riders will twist and bank as if riding the tide along a tight figure-8 track that includes a dynamic zero-G roll at the center section. Two trains, holding 16 passengers each, load at opposite ends of the figure-8 track and cross in the center with guests facing both forward and backward on the trains. A height requirement of only 48" makes this a perfect ride for younger guests and family members. Also, in 2019, the park is offering a lineup of year-round seasonal events, all connected to a cause that reflects SeaWorld’s Park-to-Planet commitment to help save the ocean and the creatures that live there. (1/19) Hotel and Casino Renovations Sycuan Casino Resort in San Diego’s East County completed a $260 million expansion in March 2019 that elevates the range of onsite amenities including a variety of new restaurants from fast- casual to fine dining, meeting and event space, a full-service spa, fitness center and a state-of-the-art pool and gardens area with a lazy river and swim-up bar. Sycuan also renovated a newly expanded casino floor for a total of 2,800 slot machines and 54 table games in a variety of gaming options. Anchored by restaurants from CliQue Hospitality, a Las Vegas-based group behind some of that city’s most notable properties and helmed by San Diego native Executive Chef Aldo Negrete (Lionfish, Rare Form, JRDN, Whisknladle), Sycuan’s new dining venues include Bull and Bourbon, Elicit Bar & Lounge and Retreat Pool & Cabanas. Part of the renovation includes an all-star food court with outposts from some of San Diego’s favorite local eateries (Phil’s BBQ, Lucha Libre, Hodad’s and more). Sycuan is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. (4/19) 1 New Hotels Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton San Diego Airport/Liberty Station opened in March 2019 offering 181 spacious rooms adjacent to Liberty Station’s 360 acres of parks, arts organizations, restaurants, meeting space, commercial offices, and shopping that now make up what once served as a primary training station for new Navy recruits until 1997. The Nimitz Bridge connects the beautiful new hotel to the heart of Liberty Station, and both Spanish Landing Park and San Diego International Airport are less than one mile away. The property features custom design décor, a state of the art fitness center, a board room for small gatherings, and an outdoor pool. Every Hampton by Hilton guest has access to the brand's signature free, hot breakfast with healthy options; On the Run™ breakfast bags, and free wi-fi and other value-added amenities. (4/19) Opening in June 2019, The Guild is a 162-room Marriott Tribute Portfolio property housed in the historic landmark, 1920s-era Army-Navy YMCA building in downtown San Diego. The new boutique design will revive a hospitality space that served as a place of respite and leisure for millions of service men and women. The Guild’s exterior Italian Renaissance-style facade and grand staircase will be left largely untouched, and guests will be welcomed into a redesigned contemporary lobby that includes a full-service bar. Guest rooms will appeal to diverse travelers with everything from cozy, European-inspired accommodations to a two-bedroom penthouse suite with private rooftop deck. Luca restaurant, headed by Executive Chef Justin Vaiciunas, will highlight the city’s indoor/outdoor lifestyle with a main room centered around an outdoor courtyard, an urban oasis in the heart of downtown with sunshine and olive trees, and a menu that offers light Mediterranean- inspired fare. The YMCA’s former basketball court with elevated running track will be transformed into a grand ballroom featuring original brick wall inlays and hardwood floors. The underground pool on the basement level will be reimagined into a one-of-a-kind event space with some original design elements intact. Various private spaces throughout the property will be available for special meetings, celebrations and signature programming. (10/18 with updates) Carté®, a new luxury lifestyle hotel from Curio Collection by Hilton,™ will open Summer 2019. Located in San Diego’s vibrant Little Italy neighborhood near downtown and San Diego Bay, Carté offers 246 distinctive, modern guest rooms that are fiber wired and offer wireless internet along with a 55-inch 4K LED TV. Custom designed furniture includes an oversized work desk, plush pillow- top mattress and fiber bedding. Each guestroom has a refrigerator and floor to ceiling windows. The spacious executive guestrooms include a sitting area and spectacular views of San Diego bay and downtown.

Carté guests have access to Fit Athletic Club, providing yoga, hot-yoga, spin classes and a cross fit course for additional fees. The hotel’s 4th floor Amici meeting space has architecture and design elements depicting San Diego’s beach communities, and the 1,200-square-foot venue has floor to ceiling windows and three 80-inch built-in LED TVs. A private dining space inside Watercolors Restaurant is called “Branzino,” and can host events for up to 35 guests. The hotel offers exclusive space on the rooftop for social and private events.

    SAN DIEGO Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | San Diego | 2019 0 Sun, surf and scenery define San Diego. Situated in the southernmost corner of California’s coastline, the city is set apart by a nearly ideal climate, 70 miles of coastline, vibrant nightlife, and diverse food culture — all of which contribute to its eclectic retail offerings. Those, combined with family-oriented recreation, luxurious accommodations around the county, and world-class arts and culture have made the city one of the top ten travel destinations in the United States, according to US News and World Reports. Named by National Geographic as one of the “World’s Smart Cities”, San Diego offers much more than off-duty fun. World-renowned academic institutions, research consortiums and innovation incubators also define the culture. The city is home to a number of major corporate headquarters and has a competitive stronghold in software, biotechnology and life sciences, aerospace and maritime technologies, healthcare, action sports and telecommunications. These industries, coupled with San Diego’s diverse residential base and steady stream of domestic and international tourists, generate demand for a wide array of retail products and services and create a distinctive retail environment. SAN DIEGO San Diego is the launching pad for many new food concepts, independent eateries and restaurant chains. OVERVIEW The vitality of the Food & Beverage sector is not surprising given the state’s abundance of agricultural products and proximity to innovative and celebrated chefs. Cushman & Wakefield | San Diego | 2019 1 SAN DIEGO KEY RETAIL STREETS & AREAS DOWNTOWN LA JOLLA / UTC Downtown has grown to encompass distinctive La Jolla is a prosperous coastal community within San neighborhoods, including: Little Italy, Cortez Hill, Columbia Diego County, located approximately 12 miles north of District, Marina District, Gaslamp Quarter and East Downtown San Diego.

The easy-to-use web browser works on various platforms: desktops, tablets, and smartphones, and is available in five different languages. I would encourage you to take a few minutes to try it out yourself. Has your agency information changed? Have you changed your phone numbers or service offerings? You can easily update the information yourself online by downloading the one page instruction on our website: hsa.smcgov.org/smc-connect. Our goal is to leverage the use of technology to improve your access to the database. We welcome your feedback; please send any comments to [email protected]. Please note that inclusion of an agency in this handbook does not imply endorsement, nor is exclusion a reflection of the value or quality of an agency’s services.
