The world has no shortage of traditional hotels. Sure, we’ve been around since 1946, but our idea of what a hotel should be hasn’t. We believe modern travel should be about flexibility, simplicity and exploration. If we were formal enough to write a mission statement, it would read like this: A centrally located San Diego hotel with a great atmosphere, great food, great people and great beds. This approach influences everything we do. And most things we don’t. We want the Lafayette Hotel to be a place where you can be yourself, or reinvent yourself. That’s why it comes as no surprise when the Lafayette attracts thousands of travelers every year. Free spirits, the suits, global nomads, couples, families and parties of one, they stay because we share common ground. The huge pool probably doesn’t hurt either. We also know San Diego culture. Embedded within the vibrant North Park San Diego community renowned known for its exciting nightlife, shopping, dining and exploding arts and music scene, The Lafayette Hotel & Swim Club redefines what it means to be a community minded hotel. Every first Thursday of every month, The Lafayette hosts San Diego Made. San Diego Made is an artist collective organization that aims to increase awareness of the local arts within the San Diego community and promote the Shop Local. Buy Local. philosophy to the greater public.
