W Hotel Review
Come here for the trendy decor, upscale rooms, and central location between Gaslamp and Little Italy. The W chain's urban finesse adapts to San Diego with nautical blue-and-white rooms with beach-ball pillows and goose-down comforters. The swanky rooftop bar has firepits and well-crafted cocktails, but the pool is tiny by San Diego standards. There's always something happening at the lobby-level Living Room lounge, where drinks flow and DJs spin. Be sure to ask for an upper-floor room—the scantily clad crowd parties into the night. The on-site restaurant Kelvin serves three meals daily.
