Dovetail + Co acquires historic St. James Hotel as company's first California property

NEW YORK and SAN DIEGO, July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hospitality company Dovetail + Co expands into California with the acquisition of the historic St. James Hotel, a 122-room full-service property in the Gaslamp Quarter of San Diego. The St. James Hotel will be reimagined and renovated, reopening as Palihotel San Diego, part of Palisociety's national collection of unique hotels and residences known for eclectic design, independent spirit, and a hands-on approach to innkeeping.

The St. James originally opened in 1913 as a Victorian, eleven-story hotel that soared over San Diego with stunning, unobstructed views of the city. Today, the stately and storied structure maintains its original two-story neon sign, along with shimmering chandeliers, intricate tin ceilings, stained glass windows, and marble staircases, all hailing from the early 1900s.

Despite financial volatility impacting real estate markets, Dovetail continues to execute hand crafted business plans for distinctive properties worldwide.

As a Palisociety hotel, the St. James will retain its historic charm and dazzling rooftop views. A quick walk from the harbor front, Palihotel San Diego will bring a youthful, design-centric offering to San Diego's hospitality landscape with a preppy, contemporary nautical-inspired personality, new restaurant, and rooftop space.

"We're attracted to San Diego as a dynamic growth market, and are excited to bring the St. James Hotel back to prominence as a marquee landmark of the Gaslamp Quarter," says Dovetail + Co founder and CEO Phil Hospod. "Its historic boutique character is a perfect fit for Dovetail's track record of re-invigorating overlooked assets in established destinations. We engaged Palisociety as a brand and manager because we believe their ethos is a natural complement to this property."

The St. James Hotel joins Dovetail + Co's diverse portfolio of unique properties in storied locations. Despite the global pandemic and financial volatility impacting hospitality markets, Hospod believes in the long-term value of travel. Dovetail continues to transact and execute hand crafted business plans for historic and incomparable properties worldwide.

"We believe in the travel industry and our ability to create value in it," Hospod says. "By focusing on both distinctive real estate and our own proprietary brands, we can honor the past, build upon it, and envision the future of hospitality."

In summer 2022, Dovetail will unveil a reimagined Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa set on a private 23-acre peninsula in Bermuda. The century-old property—with some buildings dating to the 1600s—is surrounded by 330-degrees of water views across four private beaches and a seaside pool; spa, fitness center and indoor pool; watersports marina; and tennis, basketball, pickle ball, croquet and golf. A partnership with Brooklyn's renowned Sunken Harbor Club highlights Bermuda's treasure-hunting history in a bay view setting. Cambridge Beaches' four restaurants feature dazzling ocean vistas, refreshing cocktails, and modern Bermudian cuisine.

This winter, Dovetail will also introduce The Wayfinder Waikiki in Honolulu, Hawaii. The 228-room hotel, steps from world-famous Waikiki Beach, will feature an outdoor lagoon pool, full-service restaurant, pool bar, and coffee shop. Working with home-grown talent in Hawaii, The Wayfinder is a lively home base for curious travelers looking to explore the best of Oahu. The Wayfinder is a Dovetail original brand that highlights local artists, designers, and entrepreneurs to share an insider's perspective on each locale. The Wayfinder Waikiki leans into the building's architecture for a tropical brutalism aesthetic with interiors by The Vanguard Theory, and original fabrics and artwork by Hawaii artists.

Led by Phil Hospod, Dovetail + Co is an owner and creator of hotels, bars, and restaurants that promote exploration and discovery.
