The 22 Best Hotels in San Diego

"The beach communities have incredible views and the hipster 'hoods have the beer and coffee scene, but downtown San Diego has been slower to find its unique value proposition. The answer started emerging in summer 2019, when The Guild opened in a 1920s-era YMCA. The 162-room Marriott Tribute Portfolio hotel retained some historic details, like the (restored) exterior and grand stone staircase. But there are plenty of the new touches, too, like blush-colored velvet couches, herringbone floors, and a slick lobby bar." - Archana Ram, Beth Demmon
