Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: The ultra-modern W San Diego attracts a sophisticated crowd of 30-something guests and super-cool local residents. The lobby is an enticing hangout, with its post-modern décor, dramatic lighting, big bay window seats, and 18 plasma monitors above the bar that project sunsets, northern lights, and other changing scenes.
Amenity highlights: There’s often a three-hour wait to get into the popular third-floor outdoor Beach bar with heated sand floor, fire pit, cabanas, and heated concrete benches, but hotel guests get top priority. Wireless Internet access is complimentary on the first three floors of the hotel, which include the lobby, bar, and other public areas.
Insider tip: Among the more unusual aspects of this property is its unique lexicon: fitness center is “sweat,” pool is “wet,” lobby is “living room,” elevator is “lift,” cocktail lounge is “magnet,” restrooms are “w.c.”
