Ownership & Heritage
Wyndham San Diego Bayside is Black-led through its ownership connection to RLJ Lodging Trust, a publicly traded hotel real estate investment trust. The hotel is held through RLJ’s FelCor subsidiary, which maintains the property’s leasehold interest on Port of San Diego land.
RLJ was co-founded by Robert L. Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment Television, and Thomas J. Baltimore Jr. Today, Leslie D. Hale serves as President and Chief Executive Officer, while Johnson serves as Founder and Executive Chairman. Their leadership connects the property to a significant legacy of African American entrepreneurship in hospitality.
Because RLJ is publicly traded, this listing identifies the hotel as Black-led, reflecting leadership at the ownership-company level.
