Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This 1924 gem in downtown San Diego exudes a sense of modern nostalgia, blending grand historic character and tailored boutique luxury. Originally built as an Army-Navy YMCA, the building's recent renovation preserved many gorgeous architectural details, like the stately exterior and grand stone staircase, while adding a host of stylish touches that set it firmly in the present—think herringbone floors, plush textures, and rich jewel toned and metallic accents.
- Whisk your guests away to the sun-drenched Riviera with a celebration in the Courtyard, a beautiful urban oasis framed by mirrored arches, potted palms, and window boxes overflowing with greenery. Inside, the Grace Ballroom lives in the footprint of the former gymnasium—hints of its original life can be found in the airy, double-height ceilings and wraparound mezzanine, but chic gold fixtures, inset windows, and a gleaming wood floor give the space a refreshingly upscale vibe.
- Enjoy an all-inclusive, destination-style experience without the long plane ride. Exceptional in-house cuisine and an elevated bar program make planning your wedding day menus a pleasure, and the events team is always happy to help you with the details. The guest rooms are luxurious and inviting, and offer access to a chic pool, 24-hour gym, and more. For the newlyweds, there's a stunning penthouse with a rooftop terrace where you can start your honeymoon off right.
