Crown Room

Crown Room

The Crown Room was considered an architectural achievement spanning 160 feet by 60 feet, without any pillars to interrupt the view. It served as the hotel's main dining room and hosted many prominent events, including a banquet with England's Prince of Wales in 1920, a celebration of Charles Lindbergh's famous solo trans-Atlantic flight in 1927, and the first state dinner held outside the White House in 1970. This iconic San Diego venue is also famous for its 33-foot high ceiling, paneled in beautiful Oregon sugar pine. Wizard of Oz author L. Frank Baum is credited for designing the famous crown chandeliers, which were installed c. 1911.

The restoration of this space was completed in 2024 and includes refurbishment of the original wood, replacement of non-historic entry doors to match the originals, electrical upgrades, and refreshed carpeting and wall sconces.

Coronet Room

Coronet Room

Situated off the iconic Crown Room is the Coronet Room, which also features a beautiful domed ceiling and one of the famed crown chandeliers that Wizard of Oz Author L. Frank Baum is credited with designing. This enchanting room also connects to the front porch, which was restored in 2021.

Restorations in this space included the refurbishment of the beautiful woodwork, electrical upgrades, new carpeting, and replacement of non-historic doors with replicas of the originals.

Ocean Ballroom

Ocean Ballroom

The only oceanfront venue in The Victorian, the stunning Ocean Ballroom features panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, delicate crystal chandeliers, and a built-in stage. Renovations of this space included the removal of non-historic accents, refreshed wall coverings and carpeting, removal of a non-historic back-of-house area to increase the square footage, and restoration of the historic stage.
