Just two years after opening its first hotel, Legoland is looking to build a second one on its Carlsbad theme park property. Like the current hotel, the project is planned to be three stories with 250 Lego-themed rooms and suites, situated on what is now a parking area. Details are still few, as Legoland only submitted a development application last month to the city of Carlsbad and is still early in the design stage. What is known is that it will resemble a castle, complete with turrets, will have a variety of themed rooms and will be located west of the existing Legoland Hotel in front of the Sea Life Aquarium. Plans call for a full-service restaurant and gift shop, a swimming pool and outdoor play areas, Legoland spokeswoman Julie Estrada said Friday.Ideally, Legoland and its parent company Merlin Entertainments would like to see the hotel open by 2018, she said. While there are a number of nearby hotels that draw from families visiting Legoland, the competition doesn’t seem to have hurt the themed hotel, which has proved popular from the day it opened.
Over the past two years, its occupancy has averaged 80 percent annually, according to its general manager, Frank Idris.Since the park opened in 1999, Legoland has doubled the number of attractions it has and with increased attendance, demand has grown for more hotel rooms to accommodate families who need more than one day to see the park and its related attractionsNo one can do what Legoland can do with a themed hotel,” she said. “From the minute you walk in you’re greeted by Lego models and interactive features, so it creates this new world for children and another childhood for adults. When we first opened, there may have been some hesitation that we would take guests from other hotels but we’re actually bringing more guests to Carlsbad.”The current Legoland California hotel has three kinds of themed rooms and come March 10, there will be a fourth, playing off its attraction Lego Friends Heartlake City. It’s undecided how the rooms will be themed at the proposed hotel. Legoland never reveals the cost of its projects, but when the first park hotel opened, it was described as the most expensive investment to date, and that is still true today, Estrada said.
The proposed hotel is expected to displace about 300 parking spaces, according to Carlsbad senior planner Terry Delcamp. Legoland is getting ready to submit to the city plans for a parking structure that would help make up for the loss of parking, Estrada said.Two years ago, Legoland had hoped to build a second hotel next to its property on land owned by the city of Carlsbad but it lost out to a rival developer, Grand Pacific Resorts.Grand Pacific, which already operates a Sheraton hotel next to the development site, is planning to build a 71-room, four-story Westin hotel and also add 36 timeshare units to its MarBrisa resort.
