The building is situated diagonally on the site to take advantage of the sweeping views of San Diego's downtown and harbor. The building features such characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style as an asymmetrical facade in massed block form with a dominant, central tower element; a rich, recessed and arched doorway of cast stone flanked by ornate columns; smooth plaster exterior walls with decorative molding; double-hung and quatrefoil windows; false balconies; flat roof with pilasters topped with Corinthian columns, finials and roofline cresting, a dentil course, intricate cross work; courtyard; and tiled terrace area. Over the years, the El Cortez underwent a number of modifications and alterations incompatible with the historic design of the building. Beginning in June 2000, a substantial Certified Rehabilitation Project reversed these modifications and restored the architectural integrity of the building. Today the El Cortez remains the jewel of Downtown San Diego and is a fully owner owned condominium community. It is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Guest access Guests can use entire condominium including common areas - terrace on 2nd floor with BBQ for dining and lounging, pool, and gym.
