ARES' southernmost West Coast Annual Meeting will be held April 1 - 5, 2014, at the gorgeous Bay front Coronado Marriott Resort. Located across the Bay from downtown San Diego, the resort is an easy water front walk to Ferry Landing restaurants and shopping, only a few minutes drive to gorgeous, sandy beaches and a short, inexpensive water taxi ride to all the activities in downtown San Diego. The hotel offers a health spa, three heated swimming pools, and a whirlpool with breathtaking views of the San Diego skyline. Charming Coronado is ARES' warmest West Coast meeting site.

The very pleasant weather means that we'll be socializing outside with spectacular San Diego Bay views. We'll take over two - thirds of this lovely hotel's 300 rooms and suites so we'll practically own the place.  San Diego offers a plethora of fun activities including the world famous San Diego Zoo, great restaurants and shopping, and numerous other attractions. Coronado's municipal Bay front golf course is inexpensive, nearby and it's fun to play. 

Our fabulous turnout at the Mauna Lani suggests the possibility that we don't have enough rooms reserved for you at the Coronado Marriott. We're working to increase our room block but to hedge against a room shortage, you should book your room immediately. Resort view rooms are $209/night CLICK HERE or for San Diego Bay view rooms at $259/night CLICK HERE. Room tax is 10%.  All rooms have outdoor lanais. I recommend the bay view rooms as most have great views including the night lights of downtown San Diego as well as enormous passing ships. The room rate includes in room internet access. Parking is $25/day at the hotel.
