Pendry San Diego
San Diego, United States · ★★★★★ · 9.4/10 Exceptional · guest rating
A 5-star hotel in the Gaslamp Quarter, a three-minute walk from Petco Park and the Convention Center, with a rooftop pool, a spa and three restaurants.
Pendry San Diego takes up a full block in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter, downtown's historic district of restaurants and nightlife. It is a contemporary design hotel with art, social spaces and a strong connection to the city, made for guests who want to be in the center of the action. The location lets you handle almost everything on foot: the ballpark, the Convention Center, the waterfront and the transit station.
The hotel adds three restaurants, with offerings such as seafood, a cafe with a shop, several bars and a rooftop terrace with a pool, lounge chairs and a city view. There is a spa and fitness center, a hot tub, babysitting for an extra charge and concierge service. Hours and availability of each space can vary by season, so confirm them with the hotel.
Why stay here

The setting
The building is modern and several stories tall, with a visible sign on the facade. Rooms have a large bed, a balcony in some categories and marble bathrooms; the photos show pool views and suites with a sitting area. Downtown there is more street noise, especially on weekend nights, so it is best to ask for a high floor if you want quiet.
