Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Downtown Little Italy, a 334-room hotel in San Diego, California, US, is set to open its doors in mid-2025.

The hotel is designed to cater to both business and leisure travellers, offering a blend of coastal-inspired design, marina views, and proximity to the city's cultural landmarks such as Petco Park, the San Diego Convention Center and Gaslamp Quarter.

The new Courtyard by Marriott offers guests a variety of accommodation options, from two-storey townhouse-style suites with separate living areas to guest rooms with open-air balconies.

The hotel's amenities include a skydeck pool and sunset terrace, a fitness studio, a business centre, and a shop for travel essentials.

Offering more than 10,000ft² of flexible event space, the hotel is poised to become a prime venue for weddings, conferences, and events.

Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Downtown Little Italy general manager Alpha Barry said: "We're thrilled to introduce the Courtyard by Marriott to Little Italy. We are looking forward to being a destination that reflects San Diego's iconic coastal lifestyle and the soul of this vibrant neighbourhood.

"From our culinary offerings to our design, our team has built something that feels fresh, local and welcoming to guests and neighbours alike."

The hotel's design will pay homage to San Diego's seaside heritage, featuring neutral tones, nautical-inspired elements, and wood accents.

A locally inspired restaurant and lobby bar will offer Mediterranean-California cuisine, providing a natural meeting spot for both travellers and locals.

The opening of the new San Diego hotel follows Courtyard by Marriott's recent reopening of the Courtyard San Jose Airport property, which underwent a multi-year renovation costing $15m.
