Bask in the San Diego sunshine and enjoy our five-star setting at Fairmont Grand Del Mar. Immersed in nature, the resort hosts 249 elegantly appointed guestrooms and suites, an 18-hole private Tom Fazio-designed golf course, a five-star spa and offers two dozen weekly outdoor activities across the 400 acres of dramatic canyon scenery including yoga, meditation and archery. The Grand includes six different dining venues, including San Diego's only three-Michelin starred restaurant, Addison.

Growth and advancement are not only accessible but actively encouraged. We promote a balanced life for our colleagues and continually seek new ways to enhance our environment and support our beautiful home of San Diego.
