Mission Pacific Hotel unveils Top Gun House, a meticulously restored classic 1887 bungalow featured in the 1986 Top Gun film, which is now home to a pie shop.
Opening just in time for the highly anticipated Top Gun sequel, Top Gun: Maverick, Top Gun House evokes the enduring nostalgia of the beloved film franchise and High-pie serves up signature hand pies.
The opening marks the completion of the final phase of Mission Pacific Hotel and sister property The Seabird Resort. Together, the two resorts comprise San Diego County’s largest oceanfront development in more than 50 years.
Top Gun House is now home to the famous High-pie. The new Top Gun House is a Queen Anne Cottage, which was widely known as The Graves House. After falling into disrepair, the house was painstakingly rehabilitated to historic standards.
In keeping with its namesake, Top Gun House was repainted to match its 1986 colour palette and filled with Top Gun memorabilia for visitors to enjoy, including a refurbished Kawasaki Ninja ZX900 Motorcycle, identical to the one Tom Cruise rode in the film.
The design team embraced a nostalgic Americana feel, with interiors featuring bold, retro signage, Victorian-era panels, an upholstered fireplace, vintage furniture, one-of-a-kind needlepoint installations from artist Mary Lou Marks and more.
