As part of Hyatt’s Joie de Vivre boutique hotel brand, Mission Pacific Hotel will invite guests and locals alike to connect, live in the moment and celebrate the joy of life.

Thanks for posting this - between this and the Alila opening down the road in Encinitas, Hyatt will now have many more options in the greater San Diego area. I love Oceanside and look forward to seeing these hotels.

Kacee

Yes this will be an interesting north county option. About equidistant between SAN and SNA, with SNA IMO a more convenient option with its on-site car rental.

My first "hole in the water where you throw your money" (aka sailboat) was in Oceanside Harbor. Looking forward to the new additions.

This looks like a stunning property. There aren't many properties along the coast whee you can walk directly out to the sand. The pictures make me want to take a staycation and enjoy it.

those who know the area a bit better.... yes, the pictures do indicate the properties are on the beach... however, if I look up the address on google maps, there seems to be a road and parking lot prior to the beach. While the parking lot potentially could be used for the building, I doubt the street will be used for the building.

any thoughts or comments?

PG.backpacker

Definitely not on the beach. Here's the exterior rendering:

Thanks for resetting my expectations, folks.

Any thoughts on Categories and Price Points?

It's too bad they didn't go with a full-on pedestrian overpass a la Hyatt Huntington Beach.

josephstern

Is that a busy street? Doesn't look like a big deal to me. Sometimes those overpasses make matters worse for pedestrians - fewer nearby crosswalks, cars driving even faster, etc.

River in Sight

No, it's not a busy street - not like at Huntington Beach which is more of a main road, this street in Oceanside is just a side street and easy to cross..

beachmiles

Any idea what category?

Matt4200

Hyatt has a bad habit of giving it’s partners (JDV, Destination Hotels, Alila, SLH, MGM) higher category placement than they should or what they’d give Hyatt branded properties.

That being said I believe they’d be placed in Cat 4 or Cat 5.

skj

JdV, Destination, and Alila are Hyatt brands. SLH and MGM are partners that participate in WoH to some degree.
