When the Jamul Casino first opened in 2016, the laser focus was on growing it into a top-notch gambling and dining destination, recognizing that an on-site hotel would come sometime in the future.
Now, nearly a decade later, that early vision of a resort hotel that would cater, first and foremost to the casino’s high rollers, devoted players and out-of-towners, has arrived. The new 16-story, 200-room hotel tower that its lead designer describes as a “jewel box” rising out of the mountains celebrated its opening earlier this month with a formal ribbon-cutting.
Not only are the hotel and its many swanky amenities — including a rooftop pool — expected to generate more visitors to the casino, but they will also help position the resort to better compete with other well established San Diego County casinos that have long had luxury lodging.
