Review & FAQ:
Built in Colonial style in 1946 and located in the San Diego’s North Park neighborhood, overlooking Mission Valley, the Lafayette Hotel, Swim Club & Bungalows was a notorious place where celebrities used to hide or party. After quite a colorful history and many different incarnations, Lafayette has been renovated and returned to its original glory with 131 rooms and private bungalows, all exceptionally comfortable, with all modern amenities.
Bungalows are quirky vacation homes with many period details, spacious and equipped with everything you need for a memorable family vacation. The hotel’s famous 25 meters long Weissmuller Pool was designed in 1946 by Johnny Weissmuller, an Olympic swimmer who played Tarzan in the movies. The pool is such a popular Southern California attraction that it hosts many concerts and parties. Lafayette’s guest can treat themselves with excellent food at two restaurants: HOPE 46, which offers classic American cuisine, and The Red Fox Steakhouse.
