Minutes from San Diego International Airport

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

Multiple pools, a recently reno’d 18-hole championship golf course, fountain tour and more keep you out in the sunshine.

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

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

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

Iconic 80-year-old beachfront landmark, reimagined for right(!) now(!), complete with gym, golf, yoga and kids’ activities.

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.
