Cavallo Point has officially opened the doors to three new restaurant concepts, reinvigorating the culinary experience for guests and locals with the debut of Sula, Sula Lounge and Farley. As a quintessential Bay Area respite, Cavallo Point is an idyllic retreat where guests are invited to create long-lasting memories, enjoy an immersive destination with well-being experiences, and dine on exquisite locally-inspired cuisine. The culinary experience at Cavallo Point is synonymous with the Bay Area lifestyle through history, landscape, environment and perspective, where diners are able to view the pastoral landscape of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and the iconic skyline of San Francisco from an exceptional vantage.
Cavallo Point Lodge Adds Three New Dining Venues
The enhanced concepts are an inspired vision for new and exciting guest offerings by Cavallo Point’s ownership, DiamondRock Hospitality and stewarded by hotel operator, Passport Resorts LLC. Spearheading the design of the new concepts is the duo Mark Wilson and Yoko Ishihara of the award-winning Bay Area-based firm, Wilson Ishihara Design, in collaboration with architectural firm, Architectural Resources Group (ARG), architect of record for Cavallo Point. Drawing inspiration from the fort’s original construction in the Endicott Period, the Wilson Ishihara team focused on the period of upgrades between the wars with a Bauhaus influence, showcasing the technological brilliance and utilitarian beauty found from 1920-1940. Guests and visitors will find detail-oriented craftsmanship, bold vintage vibes and accents inspired by the property’s military heritage such as military green upholstery, recycled wool with herringbone detail reminiscent of officer uniforms, and more.
“We’re honored to welcome our guests and the community to the enhanced culinary experience at Cavallo Point, creating long-lasting memories that will invite them back time and again,” says Cavallo Point General Manager Martin Nicholson. “Our restaurants are at the very core of our guest journey and go far beyond being just a meal; they are a culinary adventure into Bay Area flavors that perfectly balance innovation with timeless classics honoring our land and storied history.”
