Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina Offers One of the Largest & Most Impressive Event Spaces on West Coast
February 26, 2016
With its gigantic 16-screen video wall system and distinctive design details such as a unique Swarovski crystal ceiling installation, the new space blends cutting-edge technology with sophisticated, inspired design. The soon-to-be completed renovation will present guests and planners with the ultimate experience in one of America's most coveted cities.
Following an extensive multi-million makeover of the resort's guestrooms and public areas in 2011, Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina is undergoing an approximate $107 million investment into its meeting & event offerings. Upon completion of the significant expansion this summer, the hotel will offer premium indoor and outdoor venues with increased connectivity between downtown and the bay.
Already an unparalleled destination for conventions and in close proximity to the best of San Diego, the new construction will increase the meeting, indoor and outdoor event space to 280,000 square feet. Perfect for a wide selection of meetings, weddings and events, the renovation's showpiece consists of two spectacular 36,000 square-foot ballrooms (Marriott Grand Ballroom & Pacific Ballroom), each capable of accommodating up to 3,700 guests. Set to be the largest ballrooms on the West Coast, both have grand foyers reaching up to 25,000 sq. feet, offering options to extend the space.
The new building, which complements the hotel's existing towers, is uniquely positioned on the waterfront and boasts a striking blue glass design, which makes use of the enviable natural light. Inspired by the beauty of Southern California, the color scheme evokes the allure of the glimmering sand and sea. Stylistic and functional, each space with its clean lines is carefully curated with a contemporary and casual look and feel, as envisioned by
tvsdesign,
who have thoughtfully addressed scale, form, function and materials to create a memorable experience for visitors. Distinct design details include undulating wave patterns adorning the ceilings and
“Tidal,”
a one-of-a-kind Swarovski crystal ceiling installation, located in the ballrooms' pre-function space, which will mesmerize guests, attendees and art lovers alike.
Set against the spectacular backdrop of the city, the customizable space will boast an elliptical glass curtain, offering breathtaking and unobstructed views. State-of-the-art amenities promise to take galas and conferences to the next level with a grand 16-screen video wall system, which is exclusive to the hotel and offers the highest level of videography, sound and production capabilities to create a truly personalized experience. In addition, Marriott features a remarkable team of professional planners, trained to create a seamless event and bring the hosts' visions to life. Inspiring menus are also available and feature creative cuisine and cocktail pairings.
As part of the expansion, the hotel is also completing Marina Terrace, 27,000 square feet of paved outdoor event space overlooking their idyllic marina. Ideally situated between downtown San Diego and the bay, Marina Terrace is perfect for special celebrations and seasonal city attractions, accommodating up to 4,000 guests with ample seating areas to relax or mingle.
A final piece of the renovation will be Marriott Marquis' Marina Walk, a landscaped walkway where visitors will enjoy beautiful public art, decorative paving and sweeping views of the waterfront. The Walk will feature two public artworks by Los Angeles-based art collective,
“After Architecture,”
which are
“Tide,”
an exterior sculpture comprised of a series of LED-illuminated waves, and
"Kelp,"
an installation constructed of painted steel strips and symbolic of sunlight kelp on the ocean floor. With full wheelchair accessibility and public facilities, Marina Walk's finishing touches include bike racks and benches.
