Boutique retreats

Boutique retreats housed in reimagined historic buildings are trending in Oceanside. The new Green Room Hotel is a 1940’s-era 12-room motel in South Oceanside that has been given a second life as a modernized bungalow-style boutique hotel. Individually curated rooms feature custom art from local artists, found pieces of mid-century modern furnishings and other whimsical touches. Grab and go surfboards and bikes along with a curated map of go-to local surf breaks, restaurants and coffee shops make it easy for guests to explore like a local.

In the downtown district, The Brick Hotel, opening March 2022, has reimagined a historic 1888 downtown building into a modern boutique hotel ideally located near museums, theaters, restaurants and the popular Thursday-night Sunset market. It features ten guest rooms, a ground-floor restaurant, rooftop bar and lounge, the Succulent cafe, Frankie’s cocktail lounge and private access to a neighboring beer garden.

The Brick Hotel

The Fin Hotel, part of Tapestry Collection by Hilton, has a rich vibrant history going back to the 1920s and retains much of its historic charm including original grand staircase, vintage signage and Tiffany windows. The 26-room hotel recently welcomed the addition of The Switchboard, a restaurant and bar serving island-fusion inspired dishes. The restaurant’s name and décor, which includes old-fashioned switchboard knobs that run along the bar, pay homage to the hotel’s history as a communications center for switchboard operators during WWII.
