Located in Downtown San Diego's waterfront district, this San Diego hotel features 400 rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing water or city views. Intercontinental San Diego houses five distinct dining venues including Vistal Restaurant + Lounge, Garibaldi speakeasy, Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse, Seneca Trattoria, and the seasonal Layover rooftop bar. The property includes a 3300-square-foot wellness center with a yoga terrace and video wall, plus an outdoor pool with bay views. For business travelers, the hotel offers 95000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor meeting space equipped with modern technology. Located within walking distance to the USS Midway Museum, Little Italy, and Seaport Village, the Intercontinental sits 1 mile from the San Diego Convention Center and the Gaslamp Quarter.

Pros

Every guestroom features marble bathrooms, built-in USB outlets, and Keurig coffee makers

The fourth-floor rooftop pool deck provides panoramic Pacific coast views

The wellness center includes extensive equipment options and a dedicated yoga space

The hotel's restaurants source ingredients locally for authentic regional cuisine

Cons

1 mile from the Convention Center, requiring a walk or transit

The seasonal rooftop bar Layover isn't open year-round

“This hotel's artful design and waterfront location certainly make an impression. The proximity to the convention center and views of San Diego Bay are definite assets. However, some experiences seem inconsistent with a luxury stay.”
