The Lobby Lounge at Fairmont Grand Del Mar has been magnificently reimagined to combine the lavish splendor of Italian palazzos with the natural grandeur of Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve. Indulge in afternoon tea as the San Diego sun casts its golden light through large arched windows, or linger into the evening over inspired tapas, cocktails, and elevated programming under the warm glow of Venetian glass chandeliers.

Take in the beauty of Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve —or while sipping a craft cocktail in the bar. In a specially commissioned mural that spans all four walls, artist Jim Wodark pays homage to the canyon’s most iconic elements: its ancient rocks, cascading waterfall, and distant mountains.

Live entertainment Fridays and Saturdays 8:00 pm - 12:00 am.

    This review is specifically in regards to the Halloween “Spooky Tea” event. Everything about the experience was just “okay”. There were no decorations or details that made it a Halloween event, aside from the cover of the menu and the names of the teas. You only had the ability to select 1 tea for the entire time - with how much it cost you would expect to have the option of having more than one. Especially when other places charge half the price and offer that. The food was underwhelming and again, just “okay”. There was only one server to support the entire event and she was kind and doing her absolute best to provide the best service she could. We did have to wait over an hour for our bill because she was servicing everyone at the event. Overall we were a little disappointed with the event. It was our first time at the hotel and we probably wouldn’t pay to attend this event again in the future. On a more positive note, the grounds are beautiful and all the staff we encountered were very friendly and welcoming.

    Went to the afternoon tea! Live music, great service, and the tea was just divine. Keep in mind it’s valet only and you do need to pay the valet fee + tip. There’s also 20% gratuity included in your tea service bill. It was so worth it.
