The Sofia Hotel  

Right in downtown San Diego’s west side, this stylish boutique hotel sits a short walk from the Gaslamp Quarter, the Convention Center, the Cruise Ship Terminal, Spreckels Theater and the USS Midway Museum. The address puts you steps from nightlife, theaters and waterfront attractions.

Spa-like and serene, the hotel blends modern charm with natural touches across 211 individually decorated rooms. Expect pillowtop beds, 42-inch flat-screen TVs, in-room fridges and microwaves; VIP suites add bathtubs and extra space. The property feels like an urban retreat with a yoga centre, fitness area and a quietly stylish lobby fireplace. Pets are allowed and accessible rooms and elevators are available. A nightly Historical Preservation Assessment fee of about $3 (plus taxes) is charged at departure.

Full-service spa with massages and body treatments, a complete yoga centre and a fitness room keep wellness front and center. On-site concierge, 24-hour reception, laundry/dry cleaning, parking (self-parking, fees may apply), ATM and business services make city stays easy. Complimentary wired and wireless internet keeps you connected, and the lobby fireplace sets a chill, social tone—perfect for quiet evenings after long days exploring the city.

Advanced meeting facilities with a business center and two event rooms sit in the heart of downtown. Complimentary wired and wireless internet and express check-out streamline work trips.

Grab coffee and snacks at the on-site coffee shop (Starbucks), or settle in for cocktails at the hotel bar and meals in the restaurant. Limited room service is available for late-night cravings.
