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

Pet-friendly indie stay

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

This new boutique lifestyle hotel offers an elegant blend of historic appeal and contemporary style

Sophisticated and sleek but still soft and comfy.

Right on the water and boardwalk in lively Pacific Beach.

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

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

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

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

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

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

A 10-min flip-flop to the Pacific. You’re also pretty darn convenient to to-dos like Legoland and the Museum of Making Music.

Ideal jumping off point (not literally) for local biggies like the San Diego Botanic Garden, La Paloma Theatre and beaches(!).

Private beach access just for guests. Go on, run right into the surf.

Park entrance location. Early admission to select rides before the park opens to the public. Even a bucket of bricks waiting in your room.

Onsite Dragon's Den resto/bar dishes up a stellar brekkie buffet in the am (and it’s totally on the house).

Picturesque setting overlooking Lake Cuyamaca boasts stunning mountain views.

Whatever time you stumble in, the 24-hour front desk serves up service with a smile.
