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

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

Retro motel revamped with vintage-cool, mid-century modern flair.

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

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.

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.

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).

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

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

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

Sophisticated and sleek but still soft and comfy.

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

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

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.
