About us

Winner of the 2025 Conde Nast Traveler Readers Choice Award for Top 10 So Cal Resorts! Perched atop a stunning coastal bluff along one of Southern California’s most dramatic stretches of coastline, Alila Marea Beach Resort is poised to provide boundless inspiration. Where “Marea” means “tide”, fresh ideas ebb and flow from the Pacific, visible from nearly every spacious guestroom and airy event space. The splendor of the ocean can be seen from Alila Marea’s marquee event settings, but its powerful energy can be felt throughout all 22,000 square feet. Alila Marea offers versatile function spaces for any gathering, from intimate executive meetings and private chef’s table dinners to annual conferences and galas for up to 300 guests. When business adjourns, world-class culinary, restorative wellness experiences, and local outings immerse attendees in California beach culture in an elevated, yet intimately authentic way.

Palihotel San Diego
Palihotel San Diego
San Diego
A charming, coastal-inspired urban lodge in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter Palisociety reimagines the historic Hotel St. James, originally built in 1912, into Palihotel San Diego, a vibrant and bustling mainstay located in the heart of San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter. Featuring 122 guest rooms, Palihotel San Diego brings a youthful, design-centric offering to San Diego’s hotel landscape, showcasing a preppy, nautical-inspired charm, a new restaurant, and a guest-exclusive roof deck offering drinks, light bites, and the best views of the city. Palihotel San Diego features Saint James French Diner, a restaurant and bar that blends the utilitarian nature of an American diner with the subtle elegance of French bistro cuisine. Serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, the menu is hearty and simple, yet refined by nature, paying homage to roadside food halls in Southern France. It’s shared mussels and a beer in the afternoon and it’s a burger and two martinis at night. It’s sensible, unpretentious, and totally chic. Warm, charming, and jovial, this historic hotel and its dining spaces are ideal for intimate soirées, post-convention cocktail hours, private dining, and more. We look forward to welcoming you!
