Pet-friendly indie stay

Modernized old-timey building. Transportation pioneers The Pickwick Company built this beaut.

Palmy pool with lounge-inducing cabanas. Relaxation definitely required.

Free airport shuttle for those going places.

In the thick of PB’s laid-back but action-packed scene.

Sparkling outdoor pool and spa are perfect for post-sightseeing lounging.

Sophisticated and sleek but still soft and comfy.

Stunning spacious rooms rock relaxed-yet-uber-chic décor with just the right amount of local flair.

Nothing like a good ol' fashioned game of Marco Polo in the pool.

Rooms boast views of the marina or the San Diego Bay.

Polynesian-inspired character flows throughout, from comfy guestrooms to the friendly parrots (give our regards to Chadwick).

Location right on PB’s beach boardwalk is a real gem.

Modern interiors are predominantly grays and blacks, with blues, purples and yellows adding a punch of vibrance here and there.

Family-friendly upscale oceanfront escape newly reno’d – we’re talkin’ decor, flooring, lighting – the works.

Zip around on a complimentary bike or run the miles of bayfront paths before resting up with a cocktail by the pool. It's just that easy.

This new boutique lifestyle hotel offers an elegant blend of historic appeal and contemporary style

On its own private peninsula, just a 10 minute drive to charming downtown Coronado.

If you’re in Pacific Beach you wanna be by the water. How’s a half-block sound?

A landmark hotel built in 1913, architectural highlights include sculpted marble, hand-cut mosaic tiles and brass embellishments.

First stop: classy-cool palm-lined outdoor terrace, complete with sleek stone fireplace, year-round pool, hot tub and on Sundays, liiiive jaaaazzzz.

Iconic, intimate and romantic – and yes, it’s pink (they don’t call it “The Pink Lady” for nothin’).

Hotel pool is prime for relaxation or exercise.

Right on the water and boardwalk in lively Pacific Beach.

Modest motel-style setup with fresh, modern interiors and an airy coastal vibe.

Secluded and spacious, with 10 acres of lush grounds and Spanish mission-style architecture.

Throws in a free breakfast, on the house.

Historic boutique hideaway makes you feel like a celeb (and you might even spot a real one).

In the heart of the happenin’ Gaslamp Quarter, though with 6 restaurants & bars right onsite, you never really have to leave (until check-out, of course).

Grand white building is a beaut in the midst of already-lovely downtown La Jolla.

Minutes from San Diego International Airport

Whatever time you stumble in, the 24-hour front desk serves up service with a smile.
