We headed down to San Diego last week to the Lafayette Hotelto celebrate our gorgeous girl turning 32!
The Lafayette Hotel is the latest venture of Consortium Holdings.A private 'culinary and social company'with the goal ...
"to contribute to the dynamic and culture of the city,elevate communication and cultivate memorable experience"
And boy do they do it well!
Our first stop for the evening was The Lobby Bar to order a cocktail to enjoy outside by the pool.My daughter had warned us before hand to bring our patiencebecause the ordering there even when it's not busy is no quick feat!She was quite rightbut their expertly crafted cocktails and even more important to methe rich visuals everywhere made it all worthwhile.
We found the perfect photo chair for our celebration!
As someone who drinks chardonney almost exclusivelyI was shocked my first visit to the property to find not a drop at any of their multitude of dining choices!This time back I settled into taking a cocktail reccomendation from my girlof a French 75And I was so glad I did.I ended up quite delighted to be nudged out of my usual.
For our dinner reservations we headed down the hall toQuixote
The restaurant has cuisine inspired fromOaxaca Mexico with moles being a specialtywith Antojitos make up much of the menu.
Quixote is built from a deconstructed church from Mexicodown to the amazing cobblestone flooras well as the stunning stained glass windows.
My favorite part is the countless dripping candles everywherefrom the individual tablesto huge candelabras all deep with wax.It made me want to come home and pull out all of my candlelabrasand enjoy the dripping build up!What a fabulous way to remember memorable times!
Quixote is also a Mezcaleriawith even a special room for tasting.If this room is your fancy it can even be requested for dining.
The Lafayette Hotelalso has Beginners Diner Pool Barand The Gutterwhich includes 2 bowling lanes and pool tablesall done in the most elegant of styles!
The Lafayette Hotel's latest immersive space just openedLou Lou's Jungle Roomwhich is a live music and supper clubI know I will be adding it to my San Diego list of places I can't wait to visit!
