"When Montage decided to open a line of trendy, design-centric hotels geared toward the millennial traveler, the company looked to San Diego to be its first outpost. This bright, 12-story hotel opened in early 2017 and brought some much-needed modernity to the Gaslamp Quarter, a downtown neighborhood that veers on the kitschy, touristy side. The rooms feature lots of wood, whites, and metallic gold touches—like a West Elm catalog come to life. But this is as much a dining and nightlife venue as it is a hotel. There's casual fare at Provisional; high-end seafood at Lionfish; a casual beer bar with the best soft pretzel around at Nason's Beer Hall; Vegas-style partying at the subterranean Oxford Social Club" - Archana Ram, Beth Demmon
