Hilton Worldwide fully owned and operated the hotel until 2011 when the company sold 75% of the building to Sunstone Hotels, and maintained 25% ownership at a cash value of $475 million. Hilton Worldwide still remains the sole corporate operator of the property.[4]

History

On May 19, 2008 a natural gas leak caused an explosion that injured 14 construction workers and damaged four floors on the unfinished hotel.[5]

Design

The 30-story tower hotel features 1,190 guest rooms and more than 165,000 square feet (15,300 m2) of meeting space.[6] A skybridge connects the parking garage to a crosswalk that goes to Petco Park and the Gaslamp Quarter.

During the summer of 2019, the hotel completed a $23 million guest room and suite renovation inspired by maritime culture with modern ease. [6]
