Perched atop the iconic El Cortez-downtown's premier landmark and former luxury hotel rumored to have hosted legends like Elvis Presley and The Beatles-Penthouse 1400 rarely hits the market and offers an unmatched luxury living experience.

Arrive in ultimate prestige as double elevator doors open directly into your private domain. Showcasing unobstructed, breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views of the San Diego skyline, bay, and beyond that can never be built out, this fully updated penthouse seamlessly blends vintage glamour with elevated modern living.
