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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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).

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.

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

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

Fancy a dip? Pop into the hotel pool.

Set directly on the Pacific, a fam-friendly retreat under huge swaying palms and caressing ocean breezes.

Free WiFi? You know it.

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

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

Throws in a free breakfast, on the house.

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

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

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

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

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

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