  • Cafe Fig serves Mediterranean & Continental breakfast, lunch and dinner with vegan options.
  • La Casita operates as the poolside coastal bar and lounge (seasonal hours noted).

Figueroa is a strong choice if you want varied on-site restaurants and a Downtown dining scene.

  • Ground-level landscaped courtyard pool with poolside bar service.
  • Pool hours published at 8:00 AM–8:00 PM in the hotel compendium.

  • Full-service spa offering massages, facials and body treatments with reservations required.
