Located in the vibrant Gaslamp Quarter, this reimagined 1912 Hotel St James building now houses a 122-room San Diego hotel with nautical-inspired design. Palihotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter features custom bespoke furniture, Bellino Fine Linens, and Diptyque bath amenities in each room. The property's Saint James French Diner blends American diner comfort with French bistro elegance, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. Guest rooms range from 210-square-foot Queen rooms to 410-square-foot Deluxe King Suites, equipped with Nespresso machines, SMEG mini-fridges, and 43-inch HDTVs. A guest-exclusive roof deck operates daily from 9 AM to 9 PM. The Palihotel sits 0.5 miles from Horton Plaza Park, 0.5 miles from Petco Park and the Convention Center, and 1 mile from Seaport Village.

Pros

Guest-exclusive rooftop deck offers panoramic city views

Eight restaurants within 0.3 miles radius, including STK San Diego and De Medici

Bilingual staff speaks English and Spanish

Historic 1912 building with preserved architectural elements

Cons

“I found this hotel charming, with a distinctive 1920s aesthetic that sets it apart. The rooftop area offered a great space to unwind, and I appreciated the prime location near Gaslamp Quarter attractions. While the elevators add a touch of history, be prepared for a bit of a workout with their classic operation.”
