Sophisticated and sleek but still soft and comfy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Throws in a free breakfast, on the house.

Free WiFi? You know it.

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

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

Galleries, shops, art museums, bars, eateries and the surf – all within walking distance.

Fancy a dip? Pop into the hotel pool.

Hotel pool is prime for relaxation or exercise.

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

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

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).

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

Indulge your inner child – both the San Diego Zoo & SeaWorld are less than five miles away.

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

Get your sightseeing pants on. Lots to do here. (Hit the free breakfast on your way out.)

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

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

Sweet Mission Bay location puts you close to the harbor, with a courtesy shuttle for zipping you to/from the airport.

Hardwood floors, spa-like showers and floral dècor give rooms an inviting chicness.
