Rancho Bernardo Inn, a beautiful resort nestled in the hills of north San Diego, has completed an ambitious capital improvement plan, with an investment cost of $25 million. With the upgrades to the property, the Inn, which is owned by JC Resorts, expands services for leisure and business travelers alike—balancing the warm, intimate setting for which it is known with updates that will make every visitor’s experience memorable.
“Rancho Bernardo has always been synonymous with relaxation,” says General Manager John Gates. “The additions and enhancements we’ve put in place over the last year will ensure that guests here will not only be able to get away from it all, but do so with the utmost comfort.”
The enhancements at Rancho Bernardo Inn include the following:
The Spa at Rancho Bernardo and Aragon Pool
The newly remodeled Spa at Rancho Bernardo features a lush, expansive outdoor garden area—complete with temperature-controlled treatment casitas, outdoor fireplaces, unique, custom-designed water features, and sunning lounges. The spa features a new menu of treatments and services that reflect the resort’s renowned culinary offerings, with award-winning Chef de Cuisine Gavin Kaysen and Spa Director Bree Lewis-Pritchard collaborating to create a unique “tasting menu” of services for spa-goers—in addition to numerous other offerings, including signatures massages, facials, and other skin-care treatments. The brand-new 2,500-square-foot Aragon Pool and hydro-spa is situated next to the spa and gardens, surrounded by seven cabanas, perfect for lounging or dining.
The Aragon Ballroom
Situated at the northern end of the lushly landscaped property, the stunning new Aragon Ballroom retains the distinctive early California/Spanish feel of the resort, but with all the modern amenities meeting and event groups need. With the ability to stage banquets, meetings, and wedding parties of up to 1,000 people, the ballroom—which is part of the larger 27,000-square-foot conference center—is a wonderful addition to the existing 15,000 square feet of distinctive meeting and event space on property. Considerations include wired and wireless Internet throughout, ceiling rigging points, and isolated power for extensive lighting and sound equipment.
Refurbished Guest Rooms
Rest and relaxation come easily in the 287 luxuriously appointed, spacious guest rooms, which are set within eight buildings on the 265-acre property. The rooms have been transformed into mini oases featuring a rich palette of colors such as green, terra cotta, garnet, and taupe. In addition, rooms have been outfitted with platform bed frames, new couches and chairs, upgraded linens, increased workspace, and 42” flat-screen televisions, as well as distinctive artwork and antiques, and new furniture for the private patios and balconies. Each room is also WiFi accessible, and free for guests.
Rancho Bernardo Inn, a member of Preferred Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, is the distinguished holder of many honors, including Mobil Four Star (18 years), and AAA Four Diamond (31 consecutive years) ratings. The Inn is conveniently located within 30 minutes of most of San Diego’s main attractions including the Wild Animal Park, Lego Land, Sea World, San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, and the Pacific Ocean. Rancho Bernardo Inn is owned by JC Resorts, whose other properties include Surf & Sand Resort, Temecula Creek Inn, and JC Golf.
