Hotel Solea in Carlsbad debuted on March 4, 2026, following a multi-million-dollar transformation of the former Sheraton Carlsbad Resort into a 201-room boutique property within Marriott Bonvoy's Autograph Collection. The redesign introduced botanical-inspired interiors with natural woods, woven textures, and soft stone finishes, and the culinary program centers on Draft Republic Carlsbad-caliber craft dining through Verise, a modern Italian restaurant drawing from Central Italy and Adriatic coast traditions. A private entrance connects directly to LEGOLAND California's new LEGO Galaxy Land, which opened two days after the hotel on March 6, 2026. The property shares its Grand Pacific Drive campus with The Westin Carlsbad Resort & Spa and the adjacent Crossings at Carlsbad golf course, while the Village's Mexican dining scene includes Fresco Cocina and its Oaxacan-inflected menu built on mole-forward plates and handmade tortillas. Roughly 70,000 square feet of meeting and event space includes an 8,010-square-foot ballroom, more than 20 breakout rooms, and a grand lawn configured for outdoor receptions.
