Shell Vacations Club

Shell Vacations timeshare, already home to 25 distinctive resorts across North America, is expanding its resort collect with the acquisition of San Diego’s iconic Park Manor Suites hotel. This historic hotel is located in the Hillcrest community, near Balboa Park and is considered to be the premier, all-suite boutique hotel in the city, which makes it understandably a perfect fit for the Shell Vacations family of resorts.

Known for its neo-renaissance architecture as well as its service and home-away-from-home amenities, this very special property will be rebranded as the: Inn at the Park. Timeshare guests will be able to choose between studios and one- or two-bedroom suites, all with 9-foot ceilings, expansive windows offering amazing views of San Diego.

Sheldon H. Ginsburg, chairman of Shell Vacations timeshare, explains, “After more than five years of searching in the San Diego area, we are delighted to have found our dream property. The ambiance, location and timeless appeal of Inn at the Park are ideal for our family of customers both current and future.”

Although this Frank P. Allen designed, Italian Renaissance resort is officially recognized as a San Diego Historic Site, it does not scrimp on modern amenities, making it an ideal destination for both vacation or business travel.
