Cosmopolitan Hotel and Restaurant
Cosmopolitan Hotel and Restaurant, Hotel building in Old Town San Diego, United States
The Cosmopolitan Hotel and Restaurant is a two-story building with Greek Revival details and wooden balconies located in Old Town San Diego. A central courtyard anchors the interior layout and provides an open gathering space within the structure.
The building was originally built in 1827 as an adobe home by Don Juan Bandini and later converted into a hotel and stagecoach office in 1869 under Albert Seeley. This shift marked the transition from private residence to a key service location for travelers and administrators.
The building displays a blend of Spanish and Greek architectural styles that reflects California's diverse building traditions. Visitors can observe how different periods influenced the design of the structure and its central courtyard.
The restaurant operates Wednesday through Saturday and offers weekend brunch service, with outdoor garden patio seating available. Visitors should check current opening times before visiting as schedules may adjust seasonally.
The building served as an olive cannery around 1900 before eventually becoming the restored restaurant space seen today. This surprising industrial chapter reveals how the structure adapted to different economic needs over time.
