Welcome to Lafayette Hotel & Suites San Diego. Hollywood's most glamorous stars came night after night to what was the resort hotel's fashionable Mississippi Ballroom to drink, dine and dance to the music of Ted Fio Rito and other top-drawer big bands. The Mississippi Ballroom is now a popular Wedding and Banquet Hall.

The hotel's popularity and tradition of gracious hospitality continues today. This elegant Colonial-style mansion is a San Diego landmark and has maintained its elegant charm while offering all the luxuries that today's discriminating traveler demands at your San Diego Hollywood Star Connection - Lafayette Hotel & Suites San Diego.

Built by playboy homebuilder Larry Imig, the resort hotel enjoyed unparalleled success. In addition to its impressive guest list, several prominent local figures were permanent residents, including clothier Bill Solof, restaurateur Ray Lubach and San Diego Padre baseball mangers Lefty O'Doul and Bucky Harris.
True to its original structure is the Olympic-size terrazzo tile swimming pool, designed by Tarzan's Jonny Weissmuller.

Although the final echoes of the big bands have died away, entertainment still continues nightly at the long-established local Sorrento Red Fox Restaurant Lounge and Piano Bar which serves exceptional American Cuisine in a casual atmosphere.
