Hotel Solea

Please join us in staying at Hotel Solea, part of the Autograph Collection by Marriott! We’ve reserved a block of rooms at this newly renovated, beautiful hotel which opens in April and is at the location of the current Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa. There is a minimum three-night stay as it is a holiday weekend. You can request any dates around the wedding (for example, Thurs/Fri/Sat or Fri/Sat/Sun) and are able to book more than three nights at the discounted rate if desired! If you would like to take advantage of this deal, please book *ASAP* as the hotel can accommodate beyond our block but is expecting to sell out early with the holiday weekend. Pricing: • Highly discounted rate of $279 per night for a traditional king room (+$20 if double king room desired, +$20 per additional person with maximum four people per room) • $10 daily resort fee (ignore the $35 resort fee listed on the booking link) • $10 daily parking fee (self or valet) What’s included: • One-time $15 food and beverage credit • Shuttle service within a 5-mile radius • Chair and towel rentals for the beach • Bike rentals • Bottled water in the room • 24-hour heated pool and jacuzzi To book, click "View" below or call the listed phone number above.

Shuttle

Ceremony & reception Shuttle

If you are staying at Hotel Solea with us, we are hoping to have a shuttle to/from the Old Rancho that will make two trips to the venue prior to the ceremony, and two trips back towards the end of the night. As the wedding approaches, more details including trip times and shuttle size will be available on this page.

Flight

San diego International airport

San Diego International Airport (SAN) is the main airport in San Diego and is about a 35-40 minute drive from Hotel Solea and The Old Rancho Wedding Estate without any traffic. We recommend flying into SAN and then taking an Uber/Lyft or snagging a rental car from there.
