The hotel

A sanctuary of style and subtlety in SoCal, Hotel Palomar’s both high-design and low-key. Inside, Brazilian walnut and Jerusalem bone limestone are set against calm earthy colours. And luxury features like the wine reception and gym are set against homely touches, like morning hot drinks. Curadero, the hotel’s flagship restaurant, creates a celebration of soulful Mexican street food with mindfully mixed cocktails. The Level Four rooftop pool and lounge features cocktails with a pool menu and downtown views any time of year. And downtown’s your address here, near the Victorian buildings of the shop and restaurant filled Gaslamp district.

Love this hotel. Staff, room, and food, it’s all great. Being in the Gaslamp district you have the best area for food and entertainment. Very close the the airport so super easy to get to the hotel. I would recommend a stay at this hotel any time visiting San Diego.

The hotel was incredible. The employees were very hospitable, kind, and knowledgable about the San Diego surroundings. We were very grateful for the Groupon discount deal however the parking and additional hotel amenities fee came as a surprise.

Great stay from Portland, OR! First off, all the staff were extra nice and just a text away. Accommodated to absolutely everything that we asked for. Checked in 3 hours early and checked out 1 hour after. Free wine in the lobby for happy hour 5-6. Also wonderful location for visiting San Diego! Will most definitely stay again, great job :)
