The countdown has begun for the opening of Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center, a Marriott brand expected to transform the South Bay in many ways bringing in jobs and millions of dollars to the county.
The $1.2 billion project with 22 stories,1,600 guest rooms, and 2 million square feet of enclosed space along the bayfront in Chula Vista first broke ground in July 2022.
The Gaylord Pacific will offer 12 dining facilities, including Marzul Coastal Grill & Bar, and Gaylord’s staple steakhouse – Old Hickory. Gaylord Pacific will feature an onsite full-service spa with 14 treatment rooms and five swimming pools.
One of the highlights of the resort is a 28,500 square-foot signature atrium with a translucent fluorine-based plastic roof similar to Allegiant Stadium and SOFI Stadium, according to McCarthy Building Companies’ website.
The director of sales and marketing for Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center, said that conventions are already being booked in anticipation of the opening, noting that many events and conventions are booked years in advance and that customers have long requested a West Coast location for Gaylord adding that it expects to host its first convention in July 2025.
One block away from the Gaylord Pacific the Amara Bay development is underway. The 35-acre project will include a 250-room hotel, seven towers with 1,500 condos, and 400,000 square feet of commercial and office space.
