Scene
Boutique hotel that began as an early 20th-century boarding house
The main building at 1906 Lodge is a charming structure with white stucco walls and green window frames. Built in 1906 and designed by two renowned San Diego architects, the property originally boarded students of the School of Aviation at North Island. Today, palm trees, flowering plants, and fountains decorate the lawn, while wicker chairs give a spot to unwind on the porch. Inside, the lodge-like feel is evident in the lobby, with wooden ceiling beams, a brick fireplace, and a wooden floor with tapestry rugs. Breakfast is served in a cozy room with glass-topped tables with wooden chairs.
