The Lafayette Hotel, Swim Club & Bungalows (North Park)

The Lafayette Hotel opened in 1946 on El Cajon Boulevard and became a mid‑century social and entertainment hub for the North Park neighborhood. The hotel is noted for its period swimming pool and vintage-inspired design elements and has undergone restoration and adaptive reuse while retaining its role as a local landmark. It continues to operate as a boutique hotel and event venue that anchors part of North Park's commercial corridor.
