Gaylord Hotels is the large convention hotel brand of Marriott International. When it opens, Gaylord Pacific will be Gaylord Hotels’ first West Coast location. With its nationally recognized brand, the Gaylord Pacific Resort and Convention Center is expected to spur other development on the 535-acre Chula Vista Bayfront.
The new Gaylord Pacific Resort is expected to have more than 4,000 permanent jobs on-site when it is fully operational, according to its parent company, Marriott.
The job fair, held at the library of Southwestern College, exceeded expectations. They received so many applications that they did not need to proceed with the second weekend. Only those who had previously registered on the website will be interviewed.

The resort will feature 1,600 guest rooms, a 4.25-acre outdoor water park, 12 restaurants and over 477,000 square feet of meeting and event space.

The Gaylord is being developed by RIDA Chula Vista, LLC in collaboration with the Port of San Diego and the City of Chula Vista.
Opening date is May 15, 2025.
