Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: It's not as glamorous as Hotel St. James in its heyday, but this 10-story San Diego hotel still exudes period charm. The lobby, with small seating areas and potted palms, sports circa-1913 crystal chandeliers, vintage elevators, and a marble staircase. Beyond a beveled-glass wall is Brian’s Eatery.
Amenity highlights: The rooftop sundeck, with original Hotel St. James sign, offers sunbathing and expansive city and bay views. Airport transportation is complimentary, as are passes to a fitness center two blocks away. The hotel is 100-percent nonsmoking.
Insider tip: That masterfully carved mahogany bar inside the hotel’s restaurant came straight out of Joan Crawford’s home--and still bears the scuff marks made by Joan’s stilettos when she used to dance on top of the bar.
