Inside Gaylord Pacific with HKS: Transforming Chula Vista's Bayfront

Join us for this tour for an illuminating look at the interior and exterior public spaces of the Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center. You and other attendees will gain insights into building a project of this size as well as the complexities and restrictions involved.

Thanks to shareholder collaboration in the early stages, the project was delivered on time and under budget. Potentially including partners, it will depend on the hotel operator upon tour approval, including a large art program that was a key element of the project development.
