El Cortez has been San Diego’s leading landmark since its first grand opening in 1927. Since it’s grand opening, Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, William Jefferson Clinton and Barack Obama have all entertained in the 24k Don Room. The octagon shaped Don Room with 24-karat gold carved ceiling makes a grand setting for an elegant wedding and the 10,000 square foot “urban” Terrace is a generous location for a pre-reception cocktail party or ceremony.
