“I am very passionate about sharing the stories of the hotel and community. For example, the story of the 72 mission olive trees and the creation of our own private label olive oil, Reverence, is one of my favorites. Guests enjoy hearing about the historical significance of the olives and the mission.”

I love the idea of creating a brand concept within the Autograph Collection and making it come alive for our guests and staff. We are stewards of the community, and I’m grateful to embrace the historical nature and share the narrative with our guests. The hotel is very unique to the market and offers guests elevated experiences.

Ysidora Restaurant and Lounge is modeled after Ysidora (and her husband Don Juan) but filtered through the lens of the charismatic woman she would’ve become today. The lavish bar, lounge restaurant and outdoor seating in the adjacent Landmark Courtyard create a great vibe for live entertainment and a perfect meal. The extensive cocktail list is also a highlight—the Lavender Froze with floral herbs and the San Juan gin and tonic are some of my favorites!

Trevors at the Tracks in San Juan Capistrano is a great location for a good meal. As the name suggests, it’s located right next to the train tracks! It has a ton of history, great cocktails and live music seven days a week.
