In the heart of downtown San Diego, an Art Deco hotel sits a short walk from Waterfront Park and the B Street Cruise Ship Terminal. The USS Midway Museum, Seaport Village, Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and Pantoja Park are all nearby.

Edgy Art Deco bones with Mediterranean touches set the tone. 162 individually decorated rooms feature espresso makers, LCD TVs, pillowtop beds with down comforters and premium bedding. Private bathrooms include designer toiletries, and a terrace and garden offer outdoor pockets of calm.

Stay fit in the 24-hour fitness center, browse the on-site gift shop/newsstand, or let concierge services steer your city plans. Complimentary wired internet is available and wireless access is offered. Dry cleaning, laundry and a 24-hour front desk keep things easy. Take in the view from the terrace and garden between outings.

Over 15,900 sq ft of flexible event space, including a conference center and 9 meeting rooms, makes this a strong pick for events. Wired internet and on-site event services support meetings and conferences.
