Project Info
The Barracks Hotel is a unique adaptive reuse project within Liberty Station, a former Naval Training Center, that revisions a historic quad of Barracks living quarters into a boutique hotel experience focused on providing guests with engaging opportunities for dining, fun, and entertainment.
The adaptation of the Barracks quad integrates three smaller contemporary buildings to craft a series of outdoor amenity areas, including the main entry corridor, pool area, and event lawn. Each of these areas draw inspiration from the site’s naval history. An entry cooridor welcomes guests through a series of staggered outdoor rooms including a “living room” area, conference patio, and sculpture garden arranged to invoke the sailing maneuvers “tacking” and “jibbing” as guests meander through the spaces. The pool destination, aptly branded the “Oasis,” perfectly balances activity and relaxation, featuring a pool bar with a hidden service window, luxury cabanas, and direct access to the adjoining bridal suite. Fencing slats, pool tiles, and a living wall along the back pool house feature patterns inspired by directional flags used on Naval aircraft carriers.
The event lawn is anchored by a new restaurant, Horizon, which integrates a glass feature wall to bring a modern flare to the historic Barracks. Within the event lawn, guests can sit along the edge seating areas, gather on the lawn, or be seated at Horizon as evening movies are broadcast onto the central building’s façade. The Barracks hotel is a destination that balances a celebration of Liberty Station’s history with the development’s new modern narrative.
