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

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

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

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

Airy, modern coastal vibe prevails – think natural wood, rattan, pattern tiles and greenery galore.

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).

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

Bring your furry friends along for the ride. This place is pet friendly.

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

Lush atrium and garden grounds feel like a side trip to the tropics.

Live it up, La Jolla style, with room service and in-room spa treatments.

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.
