DeveloperDoug Manchester

The hotel was designed by Welton Becket and Associates, and built by developer Doug Manchester. The North Tower opened in 1984 as the Inter-Continental San Diego. The hotel doubled in size in 1987 with the addition of the south tower, at which point it was renamed San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina.[1] In 2008 Manchester sold the property to Host Hotels & Resorts.[2]

Specifications

Unique to the hotel is the marina operated by Marriott, in contact with the San Diego Port Authority. The 450-slip accommodates vessels between 25 and 150 feet, and boat owners are eligible for all hotel amenities (including room service, fresh water, etc.) directly to their dock.[3]

Renovations

Since 2010, the Marquis has been drafting expansion to Marriott Hall, its largest meeting facility. In 2014, construction began on the north tower to expand Marriott Hall to 171,000 square feet of meeting space, while being LEED Silver certified.[4]

North and South Towers
gollark: A Pi is surely much better than what they have in calculators in basically everything but power use.
gollark: Because of exam regulations and whatnot, the existing companies probably have a bit of a monopoly (oligopoly?).
gollark: Probably counts for part of it, at least.
gollark: That's probably the excuse calculator manufacturers have for their higher-end stuff costing as much or more as an infinitely more capable RPi.
gollark: Given the current state of software security I want computers far from my brain.
