The first one, the Pendry San Diego, is an urban boutique hotel, through and through — from the loft-apartment styling in its guest rooms to the six restaurants and bars
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, the Gaslamp Quarter surrounds you with historic Victorian facades, lively dining, and nearby Petco Park.
The rooms
Rooms feature ocean-blue accents, custom tartan fabrics, and glass-encased walk-in showers framed by views across the downtown skyline.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Set on the third floor, the heated outdoor pool and oversized jacuzzi look out across the Gaslamp skyline.
The spa
Treatments incorporate botanical scrubs and eucalyptus steam rooms, extending outdoors to a private cabana with a living wall.
The gym
The 24-hour fitness studio has Technogym machines, Peloton bikes, and TRX suspension trainers over wide wood floors.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Provisional Kitchen, Café & Mercantile
Fluted columns and tiered brass chandeliers rise above an open copper kitchen serving espresso and Italian-inspired fare.
With an emphasis on community, creative collaborations and curated programming, Pendry San Diego feels personal and relaxed, much like a classic guesthouse with resort-like amenities.
At the table
Lionfish serves fresh coastal catches under wood-beamed ceilings, and Fifth & Rose shakes cocktails beneath pressed tin.
How it began
Nason’s Beer Hall pays tribute to Nason and Company Farmer’s Market, which operated on this exact downtown corner in the early 1900s.
