About

Most waterfront hotels in San Diego prioritize luxury over location, but Hilton San Diego Bayfront combines both with direct access to the convention center and a 5-minute walk to the Gaslamp Quarter. You'll get skyline and bay views from nearly every angle, plus a daily destination charge that covers premium internet, a $15 food and beverage credit, and even a one-hour bicycle or kayak rental. The hotel is dog-friendly, so your pet can join the trip.

The lobby bar Odysea is a standout spot for a drink with those views. Rooms are newly renovated with Hilton Serenity beds and HDTVs. A recent guest noted it's a great base for stumbling back from partying in the Gaslamp rather than Hillcrest. The fitness center includes spa services. For a longer stay, consider THE US GRANT, a Luxury Collection Hotel, for a more historic downtown experience.

From the community

“Not your run of the mill Hilton”

This hotel feels very stylish with a Mediterranean-inspired look. The rooms are nicely equipped, and the fitness center with spa services is excellent. Even though it's a large convention hotel, the layout is convenient, the atmosphere is inviting, and the staff are extremely friendly. As you pull up under the porte-cochere, you can see the San Diego skyline, Coronado Island, and the Coronado Bridge—and those stunning views appear throughout the hotel. The lobby bar is a must-visit spot. It's only about a five-minute walk to the Gaslamp District. For the first time, I walked back to my hotel from a night out in the Gaslamp instead of Hillcrest. I had a fantastic time and really enjoyed this hotel.
