San Diego – Evans Hotels is promoting family-friendly fall activities across its three main venues: the Bahia Resort Hotel, Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa, and The Lodge at Torrey Pines. Amid the ongoing relief efforts for families affected by the wildfires in Los Angeles, the San Diego hotels are also offering special rates to provide assistance to evacuees.
Throughout autumn, San Diego boasts pleasant 72-degree days and stunning sunset views, presenting families with a unique seasonal experience. The “Kids Free San Diego” deal is available at both the Bahia Resort and Catamaran Resort, allowing children aged 12 and under to stay, eat, and play for free, enhancing the appeal of a fall getaway to the coastal city.
This initiative, extending through October, includes complimentary meals for children when accompanied by an adult purchasing an entrée at participating restaurants, which include Oceana Coastal Kitchen, Dockside 1953, and Bianchi Pizza & Pasta. Additionally, children can enjoy free paddleboard and kayak rentals at the resorts, maximizing their engagement with the beautiful outdoor setting.
Families looking to save even more can book directly with the code KIDSFREE to receive up to 25% off standard room rates until October 31. This offer coincides with San Diego Restaurant Week, taking place from September 14 to 21, featuring a three-course prix fixe menu at Oceana Coastal Kitchen for $50. Menu highlights include roasted squash soup, beet carpaccio, maple bourbon pork belly, flat iron steak, and Catalina sea bass.
The Catamaran Resort is also hosting a series of intimate Chef’s Table dinners that incorporate seasonal ingredients paired with local breweries and wineries, starting on September 12 with Pure Project Brewery. Meanwhile, The Lodge at Torrey Pines will run a culinary event called “Playing with Fire,” featuring Chef Drew Deckman, which concludes on September 8. An Artisan Table Signature Wine Dinner scheduled for September 18 at The Lodge will pair Patrimony Wines with seasonal offerings from A.R. Valentien.
October brings several exciting events, including the third annual Oktoberfest Party Cruise aboard the William D. Evans sternwheeler on October 3, which will feature traditional German folk music and beer stein contests. A Halloween-themed Dia de los Muertos cruise is set for October 25, complete with a pre-party at Beach and Boat Club and themed food aboard the midnight cruise. For entertainment, the Catamaran Resort will present “Movies on the Bay” every Friday at sunset, while the Bahia Resort will host “Dive In Movies” on Saturday nights throughout September.
In light of the Los Angeles wildfires, Evans Hotels are stepping up to offer relief to those affected, providing discounts ranging from 25% off standard room rates at the Bahia and Catamaran resorts, to 40% off suites. Furthermore, they are waiving resort, parking, and pet fees to ease the burden on evacuees. Other San Diego hotels, such as Park Hyatt Aviara Resort and La Jolla Shores Hotel, are also participating in these efforts, some offering discounts of up to 50%.
The San Diego Tourism Authority has launched a dedicated website (sandiego.org/LArelief) to facilitate access to relief offers from participating hotels, ensuring that those impacted by the wildfires can find safe and affordable accommodation. Organizers from the San Diego County Lodging Association are mobilizing support and providing necessary resources during this time of crisis as the community works to assist those in need.
