Lafayette in San Diego is more than just a hotel, it is the social heart of the city. The hotel’s reputation proceeds it, as I learned from the the man at passport control and my taxi driver, when I told them where I was staying for my first visit to San Diego.
Built in the 1940s, it has been reimagined by the owner Arsalun Tafazoli, who was born and raised in the city and is now considered a local hero. He is transforming the night life of San Diego with this hotel and many other bars and restaurants including Polite Provisions, Raised by wolves and Leila.
