The location on a private island feels like a tropical escape, but it's just minutes from downtown.

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

Right across the street from the water – and those Pacific views really seal the deal.

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

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

Newly reimagined interiors rock a semi-swanky vibe – all deep moody blues and grays, with statement-making light fixtures and finishes.

Sophisticated and sleek but still soft and comfy.

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

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

Multiple pools, a recently reno’d 18-hole championship golf course, fountain tour and more keep you out in the sunshine.

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

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

Remarkable spot on its own peninsula jutting out into Mission Bay, gorgeous views greet you in every direction.

Pet-friendly indie stay

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

Tienes hambre? Stroll over for some Old Town tacos – or hit the free continental breakfast.

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

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

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

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.

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

Not one, but two outdoor pools and a hot tub help you make the most of the San Diego sun.

Located right off I-5, putting you just a short drive away from all the action downtown.

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

Your toes are just two blocks from digging into the sandy beach.

Perched right on the world-renowned oceanfront Torrey Pines Golf Course. So the views are not. Too. Shabby.

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).

Just off I-805, downtown, SeaWorld, La Jolla Beach and the zoo are all within a 20-min drive.

Sneak in a sweat sesh at the onsite gym (or just hit the hot tub, we won’t tell).
