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

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

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

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

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

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

Right across the street from the water – and those Pacific views really seal the deal.

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

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

Pet-friendly indie stay

Location right on PB’s beach boardwalk is a real gem.

Right near the beach and just 5 miles from Torrey Pines State Beach and Del Mar Racing.

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

Newly reimagined interiors rock a semi-swanky vibe – all deep moody blues and grays, with statement-making light fixtures and finishes.

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

Sophisticated and sleek but still soft and comfy.

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

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

Zip around on a complimentary bike or run the miles of bayfront paths before resting up with a cocktail by the pool. It's just that easy.

Prime Little Italy location places you near must-visit shops, restaurants and sights.

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).

Stunning spacious rooms rock relaxed-yet-uber-chic décor with just the right amount of local flair.

First stop: classy-cool palm-lined outdoor terrace, complete with sleek stone fireplace, year-round pool, hot tub and on Sundays, liiiive jaaaazzzz.

Island style provides a little taste of Hawaii, minus the poi.

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

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

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

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

Remarkable spot on its own peninsula jutting out into Mission Bay, gorgeous views greet you in every direction.

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

Minutes from San Diego International Airport
