The talk of the town
"I love working with Eat.Drink.Sleep. The team operates with transparency, integrity and hustle. They implemented a design-forward approach and boutique service standards to develop The Rambler Motel, which attracted a wider range of guests and led to notable increases in ADR."
"We are consistently impressed with not only their product, but also by their emphasis on ethics & by the people who makes up EDS. They are the highest-caliber of people who are passionate about everything they do - from the on-property experience to the team that curates it and, most importantly, their guests."
case study
Tower23 Hotel
Eat.Drink.Sleep. developed a 1,986 sq. ft. lot into a stylish 44-room beachfront hotel with a 10,000 sq. ft. restaurant in San Diego’s beach community of Pacific Beach. Neo-modernist in approach, the property opened to accolades, such as a top spot on Conde Nast’s “Hot List.” Today, the property is San Diego’s #1 rated hotel on TripAdvisor.
