Courtyard by Marriott

Fronting the Little Italy neighborhood on Front Street, Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Downtown Little Italy operates as a downtown hotel with the scale to support group room blocks and structured event programs. The building is organized for quick circulation, with guest floors, meeting areas, and common spaces designed to keep traffic moving during peak check-in and agenda changeovers.

Room inventory totals 334 accommodations, including 132 single-bed rooms, 181 double-bed rooms, and 21 suites. That mix makes it easier to build a rooming list that includes both single-occupancy travelers and shared-room pairings. Many rooms are designed with a work surface and standard hotel storage, and select layouts include balconies, which adds an extra option for guests who want outdoor space without leaving the property footprint.

Meeting infrastructure is a key part of the physical plant. Total meeting space is listed at 10,605 square feet across multiple rooms, which supports a mix of general sessions, breakouts, and smaller working meetings. The India Street Room is the largest indoor space at 3,035 square feet, and it can be divided for separate functions. The Amici Ballroom provides 2,832 square feet and is also divisible, which is useful when planners need two simultaneous sessions with shared staging. A smaller boardroom supports executive discussions or interview schedules, and an outdoor pool deck area can be used for receptions or informal gatherings.

Dining is handled through an on-site restaurant, Orexi Little Italy, with set service periods. This keeps group meal planning centralized, especially for schedules that rely on a predictable breakfast window and a dinner option on-property. The hotel also includes a convenience-style market for quick snacks and basics.

Amenities are built around standard routines rather than resort programming. An outdoor heated pool and terrace provide downtime space, and the fitness center supports daily training with a mix of cardio and strength equipment. Practical services like laundry and a business center help groups running multi-day itineraries, especially when printouts, last-minute signage, or uniform refreshes become part of the stay.

Engine.com can add structure to the way groups use the building. Room blocks can be organized around the single, double, and suite inventory, while project-based tracking helps assign lodging costs to the correct job, department, or event budget. For planners handling rolling arrivals or extensions, Engine’s group services can also simplify rooming lists, changes, and consolidated billing so the closeout process does not turn into a stack of separate receipts.
