The winner in this rivalry to provide increasingly upscale hotel suites are the players themselves who get to stay there. Last year, for example, Viejas Casino & Resort opened the glamorous Willows Hotel & Spa, a 159-room, all-suites, all-adult, non-smoking hotel tower, complete with its own pool. No pressure in this region’s white-hot competitive casino market, where resorts are continually adding amenities and raising the luxury bar. “Our goal is to make sure each first-time hotel guest becomes a lifelong Sycuan regular.” Every detail in the design was geared toward making sure it would provide a memorable stay, Dinius said.
Of Sycuan’s 302 non-smoking hotel rooms, 57 of them are suites, ranging from 631 to 1,188 square feet. Our guest rooms and suites have earthy tones that represent nature and our appreciation for the beauty of San Diego,” said John Dinius, Sycuan’s former general manager. “We like to describe our suites as approachable luxury and as a wonderful way to come to the Dehesa Valley to relax, celebrate special occasions, or to enjoy our amazing amenities.
As San Diego’s newest casino hotel, Sycuan Casino Resort had the opportunity to define its guest experience through its premier accommodations.
