AlliedPRA San Diego’s got “That Loving Feeling...”

Wednesday, October 5, 2011

Much overseen by the UK market who race to San Francisco and Los Angeles for their Californian sunshine fix, San Diego is truly on the map once again with direct daily flights with British Airways into the heart of the city. For our corporate clients the deluxe hotel choice is surprising, something for every-one from beach to city centre and beyond and America's Finest City offers a year round climate with average daily temperatures of 72 degrees!

Our favourite hotels include the 249 luxurious and spacious rooms of The Grand Del Mar, just 20 minutes north of downtown San Diego. L’Auberge Del Mar, situated with beautiful views of the shores of the Pacific Ocean in the village of Del Mar. The Lodge at Torrey Pines will appeal to your golfing clients as it sits within the immaculately kept Torrey Pines public course and offers an authentic and traditional Californian feel throughout the property. Downtown properties include the contemporary Se San Diego and Andaz, plus the well known Del Cornado situated on the Silver Strand State.

And onto that loving feeling.... San Diego is home to MCAS Miramar, former home of Top Gun’s MIRAMAR COMMISSIONED OFFICER’S CLUB

"Do you feel the need…the need for speed?” MCAS Miramar is home to the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing of the United States Marine Corps, known as “America’s 9-1-1 Force.” Your guests can view all these combat-tested aircraft as part of your tour of the flight line and active duty Marines from the Public Affairs Office will introduce you to Marine Corps aviators and support personnel. Guests can then enjoy a private event in the Commissioned Officers’ Club or a gala event within a working hangar on the active flight line. The hosting squadron will be present throughout the evening with some of the aircraft seen on the flightline…you’ll be amazed when a jet takes off and you can see (and feel) the afterburners! There is nothing like it!
