Coury Hospitality will assume management of Hard Rock Hotel San Diego on July 1.
Located in the Gaslamp Quarter, the 420-room hotel includes 40,000 square feet of meeting and event space. It features 17 Rock Star Suites, a rooftop pool with private cabanas, the 9,170-square-foot Legends Ballroom, and three dining outlets: lobby bar 207, Float Rooftop Bar and Maryjane’s Diner.
“Our partnership with Hard Rock Hotel San Diego is a natural fit. We have a shared philosophy of delivering world-class service and memorable guest experiences, with live music and immersive activations at the core of our approach to lifestyle-driven hospitality,” said Paul Coury, CEO and founder at Coury Hospitality. “We are honored to be selected by the ownership group represented by Tarsadia Investments to welcome this legendary property to our growing portfolio in California, and are excited to bring our signature services to further elevate the guest experience and deliver exceptional operational value.”
“Coury Hospitality has consistently demonstrated excellence in food & beverage, experiential programming, and operational leadership,” said Ace Patel, owner representative. “As we embark on a transformational renovation in 2026, Coury’s partnership will be instrumental in reimagining every touchpoint of the guest experience—from design to dining concepts to cultural programming. With our shared vision, we’re confident this next chapter will redefine what Hard Rock Hotel San Diego represents for both locals and global travelers.”
The company also announced the addition of two new hotels. AC Hotel Bentonville in Arkansas opened in May. The 150-room property is located on the Walmart Campus and is connected to the Razorback Greenway Trail. It includes 5,000 square feet of event space and a rooftop outlet, Falfurrias.
The Seahaus Hotel, Tribute Portfolio, will open in Atlantic City this summer. The 105-room property will include a pool and Cocina del Mar, a three-meal restaurant. It is Coury Hospitality’s first hotel in New Jersey.
With these additions, Coury now manages eleven properties in California.
