Cape Rey Carlsbad - A Hilton Resort

CARLSBAD, Calif. – July 27, 2016- The oceanfront location at Cape Rey Carlsbad, A Hilton Resort, becomes the ultimate classroom with the resort’s newly introduced School of Adventures. Designed to complement the property’s existing coastal-inspired meeting programs, School of Adventures provides meeting and incentive guests with a lesson in the San Diego beach lifestyle through a core curriculum that pairs local experiences with expert guides who share regional knowledge and insider tips.

“With School of Adventures, visiting groups can bond while connecting with locals and the places they frequent in an authentic and real way,” said Rob Stirling, director of sales and marketing. “It’s a great complement to our existing offerings for groups, which already include beautiful ocean view meeting spaces, coastal menus inspired by local produce, creative meeting breaks based on fun themes like “Carlsbad Strawberry Fields” and carefully curated on-property activities such as our Iron Chef-style Chopped Kitchen and ocean-themed mini-spa sessions for the boardroom.”

Cape Rey’s initial School of Adventures offerings include Surf “Board” Meetings, Wellness 101 and Coastal Cruising. All activities can be customized for attendees or meeting planners who are looking for team building or outdoor excursions to complement traditional boardroom programs. A minimum of four participants is required for each activity.

Surf “Board” Meetings
Led by local surf gurus from Surfhouse Adventures, Cape Rey’s Surf “Board” Meeting sessions teach participants the ins and outs of surfing the Pacific coastline through surf instruction and fun activities synonymous with the San Diego surf lifestyle. More than a surf lesson, each session is an exploration in surf culture and designed for all levels and abilities. Participants cruise the coast while learning the names of favorite local surf spots like Ponto, Turn-Arounds and Warm Waters. Water sessions include private guided surf excursions or lessons with tips on etiquette, form and surf style. Groups customize their experience with a choice of additional activities that range from enjoying delicious, local burritos overlooking the Pacific to learning about surf culture at the California Surf Museum, snorkeling with stingrays and leopard sharks, or hanging 10 while a professional photographer captures the day’s fun. Surf “Board” Meeting sessions include transportation to and from the hotel, all equipment (wetsuits and boards), and refreshments. Costs start at $179 per person for a half-day excursion or $225 per person for a full day of fun.

Wellness 101
School of Adventures students can chart a new course to personal well being by tapping into the healing power of Cape Rey’s ocean location through the hotel’s Wellness 101 experience. This introductory lifestyle course, led by local wellness expert Stacy McCarthy, focuses on mindful living through a combination of thought, movement and healthy eating exercises. The experience begins with a series of coastal-inspired yoga practices that balance and invigorate the body. Next, groups embark on a guided beach walk meditation where the beauty and energy of the ocean calms the mind. The class concludes with an introduction and sampling of tasty super-foods that promote health, longevity and productivity. The Wellness 101 class starts at $89 per person.

Coastal Cruising
There’s nothing more local than enjoying San Diego’s coastal vistas and towns by bike. With a local guide to lead the way, Cape Rey groups enjoy the beautiful scenery of North County with a few must-see attractions along the way. Tours are customizable based on interest and ability. Itinerary options include a historic tour along Highway 101, peaceful nature hike and birding at nearby Batiquitos Lagoon, visit to the Self Realization Meditation Gardens in Encinitas or shopping at interesting coastal boutiques. Water, snacks, transportation and bike rentals are all included in this beach cruising adventure, which starts at $99 per person.

Carlsbad, Calif. – Jan. 7, 2016 – “Local, coastal and unexpected” is the new mantra at Chandler’s, the signature restaurant at Cape Rey Carlsbad. Drawing inspiration from the ocean vistas it overlooks and guided by an all-new culinary team, the California coastal eatery has revamped its menus and expanded its outdoor dining spaces for an authentic taste of the SoCal lifestyle.

More than just a menu refresh, Chandler’s recent evolution takes a new approach to everything from ingredients and style of cooking to how patrons dine. The new team leading the changes includes Operations Director Clifton Carmody, who draws on his experience working with innovative restaurant and hospitality companies, and Culinary Director Teri McIllwain, an energetic resort chef with a passion for healthy, farm-to-table cuisine.

“We spent a great deal of time plotting our new direction and had numerous conversations with locals and guests to get a feel for their preferences and desires,” says Carmody. “Our goal was to bring an innovative, distinctly California flair to every part of the restaurant to inspire the foodie in all of us.”

Menus reflect this new approach with a focus on fresh, flavorful dishes made with hyper local, high-quality ingredients from a new roster of area distributors, including Specialty Produce, Diestel Farms, Newport Meat Company and Pacific Shellfish. Each dish on Chandler’s menus has been thoughtfully revamped or replaced by McIllwain, trading butter and creams for clean, wholesome ingredients like cold-pressed olive oil, made from scratch vinaigrettes and healthy cooking techniques such as grilling and roasting.

One menu standout is the Sesame Ahi, a signature of McIllwain’s that features the exciting flavors of pancetta and citrus. Another favorite is the Whiskey Brined Chicken, which uses premium, flavorful Jidori chicken accompanied by peach mustard, fresh-
shelled beans and local greens. The slow-roasted Beet and Citrus Salad is served with a tangy lemon ricotta and showcases McIllwain’s farmer’s market style.
“We’re being very purposeful about our new menu and the philosophy behind it,” says McIllwain. “Each ingredient plays a distinct role and provides fuel, as well as a delicious experience. Our cooks aren’t just cooking to put food on the table – they’re being shown why they’re using certain techniques and products and encouraged to experiment and leverage their passions. We have one cook who loves making unique breads, so now we make all our bread in-house, fresh each day. We want to train a new generation of forward-thinking chefs and foster individual growth and creativity while wowing our guests at the same time.”

There’s also a bit of fun and surprise to McIllwain’s new menu that manifests in what she calls an “unorthodox” approach to foodie favorites. The creamsicle-colored 50/50 Fries, half sweet potato and half Yukon, are a playful take on the traditional side. Instead of rice, the Capeside Ahi Poke is served on a bed of rainbow quinoa, while the Crispy Shrimp and Calamari is made gluten-free with a crust of garbanzo and fava bean flour.
To attract the just-off-the-beach crowd, Chandler’s expanded its outdoor patio areas so that guests can take advantage of the ocean views and spectacular sunsets. Fire pits and updated lounge areas also allow for easy gathering and conversation, and a new section of the menu dedicated to shared plates enables groups to experience the local flavor in a more casual style. In addition to the Capeside Ahi, popular shared options include Lobster Nachos, Turkey Meatball Sliders, Seafood Ceviche Cocktail and Artisan Cheese Plate, playfully presented on a surfboard shaped platter.

Complimenting the new food menus is an entirely new beverage program. The bar now includes eight rotating local craft beers with a different brewer highlighted each month. Master sommelier Jessie Rodriguez revamped the wine cellar to include lesser-known California selections not readily found outside the region. Cocktails borrow from the farm fresh direction of the menu and are made with premium liquors, housemade infusions and local herbs and produce.

“This is coastal-style California cuisine at its best,” says Carmody. “It’s healthy, but fun and edgy. It’s stuff you can eat with your hands. Stuff you can share. Stuff you’ll tell friends they’ll have to try.”

Carlsbad, Calif. – Nov. 1, 2015 – Teri McIllwain has been named culinary director at
Cape Rey Carlsbad, a Hilton Resort. In her new role, McIllwain will leverage her diverse industry experience and passion for locally sourced, healthy cuisine to develop fresh menus, social offerings and group activities both at the resort’s ocean view Chandler’s restaurant and through the catering and room service divisions.

“Teri’s deep creativity and passion for food combined with her culinary knowledge and familiarity with the north county San Diego lifestyle, make her an ideal pick for crafting and delivering truly flavorful and eclectic California cuisine,” says Clifton Carmody, director of food and beverage operations. “Her openness to learn, teach and lead stems from her love of the kitchen and promises to bring incredible dining experiences to our increasingly discerning guests.”

McIllwain’s fresh approach in Chandler’s includes creating new seasonal, coastal-inspired menus that are centered on premium ingredients sourced from local and sustainable farms. Menus also feature weekly dishes inspired by the best ingredients from nearby farmer’s markets. To help her in the quest, McIllwain has recruited Matt Geremia, formerly a chef at the popular Solana Beach eatery Crush, to step into the role of senior sous chef and her second in command.

“I want each guest to taste the essence of the coast through their palate,” states McIllwain. “Food is so much more than fuel for the body; we create memories every time we gather around the table. Every meal is a memory, and it should reflect of our laid-back, SoCal vibe.”

Prior to joining Cape Rey, McIllwain served as chef de cuisine at Omni La Costa Resort and Spa working in nearly all of the resort’s culinary outlets including Diversions Sport Lounge, Bluefire Grill, Catering and Banquets. While at La Costa, she also served as a
nutritional chef for the onsite, wellness-focused Premier Fitness Camp and Chopra Center. McIllwain attended the San Diego Culinary Institute after entering the field as a private chef and Bon Appetit culinary instructor for Sur La Table stores in San Diego.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CAPE REY CARLSBAD READY TO STORM THE BEACH
“Adventurists Wanted” at New Resort Brand Offering Authentic Southern California
Beach Lifestyle, Enhanced Experiences and Local Luxury
Carlsbad, Calif. – April 20, 2015 – On April 30, Hilton Carlsbad Oceanfront Resort will
officially welcome visitors with a new name, Cape Rey Carlsbad, a Hilton Resort, and a
whole new vibe. This comes as part of a hotel‐wide rebranding effort to focus on the
authentic Southern California beach lifestyle, delivering the prime location, adventurous
spirit and luxurious simplicity that today’s traveler seeks.
“Our property is a beachfront basecamp for Southern California adventures. Guests can
experience the best of our laidback lifestyle, relaxed‐meets‐refined service, comfortable
luxury and the benefits of our continued affiliation with the Hilton brand,” said General
Manager Vikram Sood. “As the only upscale resort situated directly along North San
Diego County’s coastline, the Cape Rey name helps us to better position the actual hotel
experience.”
The name “Cape Rey” was inspired by the resort’s physical location within the San Luis
Rey River Valley. “Rey,” Spanish for “king,” provides a sense of prominence, while
“Cape” ties in the hotel’s sweeping coastal vistas and authentic seaside locale.
“This new sense of place more accurately reflects the historic legacy of the region and a
sense of personal adventure,” says Sood. “It also gives us greater freedom to create and
shape unique, locally‐inspired guest activities and signature events that are as
distinctive as the property.”
Beyond the name, the bulk of the rebranding effort will manifest in the experiential
aspects of each guest’s stay. Creative itineraries, excursions and partnerships from the
new “Leisure Services Team” introduce guests – both on property and off– to the tastes,
places, products and personalities that speak to the surrounding beach lifestyle and
provide the type of immersive hospitality the modern traveler craves. Employees act as
property ambassadors, whose expertise in everything from surf spots to taco shops
provides guests with a backstage pass to all things local and Southern California‐cool.
Subtle updates to the hotel’s physical spaces act as a conduit to the brand by
emphasizing location through art, landscape and design. To encourage a stream of
activity and help guests connect with each other and the resort’s ocean vistas, Cape Rey
will feature more defined social spaces at the pool, in the lobby and at Chandler’s
Restaurant and Lounge. The re‐styled pool area includes new private cabanas, updated
cushions and services that focus on laidback luxury. Outdoor dining and gathering areas
have been expanded to create casual gathering spots inviting travelers to easily kick
back, relax and enjoy the view. Debuting in the fall will be several luxury suites, each
inspired by local lifestyle companies including Reef and Nixon.
Meetings, weddings, dining and spa all have a new Cape Rey flavor as well. The resort’s
“Private Events” team will operate with an emphasis on intuitive service, bespoke
menus and a shift toward sustainable offerings and amenities. Couples getting married
at Cape Rey can ensure a distinctive, customized event with the “Uniquely Yours at Cape
Rey” initiative. Ocean Crest Spa complements hotel activities with treatments and
services derived from natural, organic and local products, and will be teaming up with
area businesses for elevated health, fitness and nutrition opportunities. Finally,
Chandler’s will focus on partnerships with local brew masters, vintners and food experts
to celebrate the region’s culinary bounty. New offerings such as beach picnics and
summer bonfires feed the adventurous spirit of the Cape Rey guest.
“Cape Rey is about more than a resort; it’s a lifestyle,” said Eric Stein, creative director
for Neu Citizen, the Los Angeles‐based company tapped to help with the rebranding.
“Meet at the Cape, dine at the Cape, get married at the Cape — we see Cape Rey
becoming synonymous with the best of Carlsbad beach life.”
To learn more about Cape Rey, visit www.CapeRey.com.
Media Note: The new Cape Rey website will not be delivered to the public until April 30.
The hotel is providing media with an advance preview of the new site at
www.CapeRey.com. Please excuse any sections that are not fully completed at this time.
