Landmark 1908 mansion (+ annex), as in-the-heart as it gets. Just a block from the beach, shops and dining options galore.

Scope out the beach from the heated pool, then explore it up close (it’s only a few steps away).

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

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.

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

Urban oasis, with combo city/bay views from, well, just about everywhere. Drink ‘em in.

Hotel pool is prime for relaxation or exercise.

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).

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

Hey hey, free breakfast every day.

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

Throws in a free breakfast, on the house.
