Gaylord Pacific Resort Celebrates One Year
One year ago, Gaylord Pacific Resort and Convention Center opened its doors on the Chula Vista Bayfront, and what a year it has been. The Port of San Diego reports 400,000 room nights booked for 2025 alone, with the resort projected to bring in $350 million in revenue, placing it as Marriott International’s third-highest-grossing property in the world.
Beyond the impressive numbers, the resort has been a win for the wider community. The Living Coast Discovery Center, the nonprofit zoo and aquarium next door, has seen tourism grow thanks to its early partnership with the resort. Harbor Park, right next to the property, is also being expanded from 12 to 25 acres, giving residents even more public space along the water.
Nearby businesses are still warming up to the influx of visitors, and more development, including the proposed Pangaea sports and entertainment complex, is on the horizon.
If you have not made it out to Gaylord Pacific yet, now is a great time to go. You do not need to be a guest to walk through the lobby or explore the property. It is our city, and it is worth seeing.
