About
The Mission Pacific Hotel is a luxury hotel located in the vibrant beachfront community of Oceanside, San Diego. Opened in 2021, the hotel blends modern amenities with the rich history of the region, offering guests a sophisticated coastal retreat. The hotel is housed in a beautifully restored building that captures the essence of Southern California’s laid-back yet stylish vibe.
Objective
The Mission Pacific Beach Resort is a newly constructed hotel located on one of Southern California’s dream beaches, with 161 bathrooms and 38 suites. The objective was to create a fully waterproof system in each of the showers, ensuring a high-end, spa-like experience for guests while protecting the hotel from potential issues like mold, mildew, and leaks, which could disrupt daily operations and negatively impact guest satisfaction.
Challenge
The new construction project presented several challenges: the need to implement a robust waterproofing solution that not only provided protection against water damage but also aligned with the resort's high-end aesthetic goals. Additionally, the project required a quick turnaround to ensure the hotel could open on time and without delays, a critical factor in the hospitality industry where guest satisfaction and occupancy rates are paramount. The solution had to be durable enough to handle the heavy usage typical of a popular resort, while also allowing for rapid installation to keep the project on schedule.
