This $75 million project included a significant renovation of the existing, 118,770-sf, six-story with a basement hotel into a chic, four-star boutique hotel with 166 guest rooms. The historic hotel, located in the heart of the Gaslamp District, was built in 1913 and designed by Frank P. Allen and William S. Hebbard. The renovation involved upgrading the existing gravity and lateral systems as well as structural modifications necessitated by new space usage, vertical transportation and open space requirements. At the basement level, a new ballroom and the nightclub space required the removal of columns and lowering of footings to create more open space. At the roof level, additional framing was required in order to support a new roof-top pool, bar, cabanas, function tent, and support space. The modification also required the addition of new framing and the strengthening of existing members. Other work included: the design of an indoor/outdoor restaurant and bar on the ground floor, canopies, roof elements, skylights, signage, pool-related items and stairs.
