During your San Diego vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
House of Pacific Relations International Cottages
This cluster of 17 charming one- and two-room cottages disseminates information about the culture, traditions, and history of 28 countries. Light refreshments are served, and outdoor lawn programs are presented by one of the nations every Sunday, 2-3pm, March through October. The adjacent United Nations Building houses an international gift shop where you can buy jewelry, toys and books, and UNICEF greeting cards (tel. 619/233-5044); it's open daily from 10am to 4pm.
Singing Hills Country Club at Sycuan
The only resort in Southern California offering 54 holes of golf (two championship courses and a 3,000-yard par-54 executive course), Singing Hills has taken advantage of the area's natural terrain. Mountains, natural rock outcroppings, and aged oaks and sycamores add character to individual holes. The golf courses are part of the Sycuan Casino & Resort. Greens fees are $39 Monday through Thursday, $45 Friday, and $53 weekends for the two par-72 courses, and $16 to $18 on the shorter course. Cart rental costs $12. The resort offers a variety of good-value packages.
Whaley House
In 1856, this striking two-story brick house (the 1st one in these parts) was built for Thomas Whaley and his family. Whaley was a New Yorker who arrived via San Francisco, where he had been lured by the gold rush. It's probably an urban legend that Whaley's house is designated as "one of only two authenticated haunted houses in California," yet 10,000 schoolchildren visit each year to see for themselves. Besides, no one can really explain why photos taken inside the house often develop with foggy apparitions (apparently, four spirits haunt the structure). Exhibits include a life mask of Abraham Lincoln, one of only six made; the spinet piano used in the movie Gone with the Wind; and the concert piano that accompanied Swedish soprano Jenny Lind on her final U.S. tour in 1852. In back is the cottage that was San Diego's first drugstore (dating to 1867) -- it now houses a shop selling attractive Native American art and jewelry. And the nice shop in front is run by the Save Our Heritage Organisation, which offers beautiful Arts & Crafts pottery, architecture-themed books, and crafts.
Empress Hotel of La Jolla
The Empress Hotel offers spacious quarters with traditional furnishings a block or two from La Jolla's main drag and the ocean. It's quieter here than at the premium clifftop properties, and you'll sacrifice little other than direct ocean views (many rooms on the top floors afford a partial view.) If you're planning to explore La Jolla on foot, the Empress is a good base, and it exudes a classiness many comparably priced chains lack, with warm service to boot. Rooms are tastefully decorated (and regularly renovated), and well equipped. Bathrooms are of average size but well appointed, and four "Empress" rooms have sitting areas with full-size sleeper sofas. Breakfast is set up next to a serene sun deck.
The Westgate Hotel
Before downtown's 1990s resurgence, the lavish Westgate and its old-school neighbor, the U.S. Grant, were the only hotels of note in the business district. But whereas the latter came by its formality during an era when royal treatment was expected, the Westgate was considered nouveau riche when it opened in 1970. Legend has it that President Eisenhower, during an early 1960s visit to San Diego, asked local banker C. Arnholt Smith, "Is this the best you have?" Smith took Eisenhower up on the challenge and built the Westgate. Smith's wife toured Europe collecting pieces to furnish the public spaces, including Louis XVI-period antiques and Baccarat crystal chandeliers. But ultimately, the Westgate became a money pit, leading to its sale to the Holding family in 1975; they in turn established a standard of luxury -- including fruit baskets and deferential, European-style service.Despite the plain exterior of this 18-story high-rise, the 18th-century lobby is a re-creation of an anteroom from the Palace of Versailles, featuring brocade upholstery, tapestries, crystal chandeliers, parquet floors, and Persian rugs. Afternoon tea is conducted daily here with great aplomb. Rooms boast old-world decadence with Italian armoires, and marble finishings. At 400 square feet, standard rooms are the largest of any downtown hotel, and the city views are splendid. The Westgate has a fine jewel-box restaurant, Le Fontainebleau, noted for its French-California-Asian fusion cuisine, live piano, silver place settings, and Saturday night dinner dancing. Yes, it's more formal than the convention-centric competition down the street, but the Westgate is a good choice for travelers seeking fancy digs.
Beach Haven Inn
A great spot in for beach lovers who can't quite afford to be on the beach, this motel lies 1 block from the sand. Rooms face an inner courtyard, where guests enjoy a secluded ambience for relaxing by the small pool. On the street side it looks kind of marginal, but once on the property you'll find all quarters well maintained and sporting clean, up-to-date furnishings; nearly all units have eat-in kitchens. The friendly staff provides free coffee in the lobby and rents VCRs and movies.
