A complete tear down and reconstruction of the lobby entry and adjoining office and public areas was needed to convert this former Holiday Inn Hotel into the bright and modern space it is today. The low ceilings in the lobby and dining areas were raised to add vertical space and visibility. The lobby and 178 guestroom furnishings are a blend of a rich mineral palette with deep blue accents. The newly constructed Garden Inn tower illuminates the entry and communal spaces with the beauty of natural skylight and vibrant sunset colors known for this Southern CA region.
