During your San Diego vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcala
Established in 1769 above Old Town, this was the first link in a chain of 21 missions founded by Spanish missionary Junípero Serra. In 1774, the mission was moved from Old Town to its present site for agricultural reasons, and to separate Native American converts from the fortress that included the original building. The mission was burned by Native Americans a year after it was built -- Father Serra rebuilt the structure using 5- to 7-foot-thick adobe walls and clay tile roofs, rendering it harder to burn. In the process he inspired a bevy of 20th-century California architects. A few bricks belonging to the original mission can be seen in Presidio Park in Old Town. Mass is said daily in this active Catholic parish. Other missions in San Diego County include Mission San Luis Rey de Francia in Oceanside, Mission San Antonia de Pala near Mount Palomar, and Mission Santa Ysabel near Julian. Known as "the King of Missions," the San Luis Rey is the largest of California's missions and one of its most beautiful.
Rancho Bernardo Inn
Rancho Bernardo has a mature 18-hole, 72-par championship course with different terrains, water hazards, sand traps, lakes, and waterfalls. Lessons or 1-hour clinics with a pro, 2- to 4-day schools through the Golf University with meals and lodging included, and a standard golf package are available. Greens fees are $85 weekdays and $110 weekends, including a cart. Twilight rates (after 1pm winter, 2pm summer) are available.
Hotel del Coronado
Built in 1888, this turreted Victorian seaside resort remains an enduring, endearing national treasure. Whether you are lucky enough to stay, dine, or dance here, or simply to wander through to tour its grounds and photo gallery, prepare to be enchanted.
Marriott San Diego Hotel & Marina
In the prosperous late 1980s, well before San Diego's Convention Center was even a blueprint, this stylish mirrored tower arose. By the time a second tower took shape, adding more rooms and multiple banquet- and ballrooms, the Marriott was a convention center. Today it merely stands next door, garnering a large share of convention attendees. They're drawn to the scenic 446-slip marina, lush grounds, waterfall pool, and breathtaking bay-and-beyond views. The Marriott competes with the newer Grand Hyatt next door, so guests benefit from constantly improved facilities and decor. Leisure travelers can also take advantage of greatly reduced weekend rates and enjoy a free-form tropical pool area (at the edge of downtown!). Note that rooms in the north tower have a (small) balcony; only the suites in the south tower do. Because the Marriott tends to focus on public features and business services, guest quarters are well maintained but plain, and standard rooms are on the small side. Hallway noise can sometimes be disturbing.Facilities: 3 restaurants; bar; 2 lagoonlike outdoor pools; 6 night-lit tennis courts; fitness center; 2 Jacuzzis; sauna; boat rental; bike rental; game room; concierge, tour desk; car-rental desk; business center with secretarial services; salon; 24-hr. room service; coin-op laundry and laundry service; dry cleaning.
The Village Inn
Its location a block or two from Coronado's main sights -- the Hotel Del, the beach, shopping, and cafes -- is this inn's most appealing feature. Historic charm runs a close second; a plaque outside identifies the three-story brick-and-stucco hotel as the once-chic Blue Lantern Inn, built in 1928. The charming vintage lobby sets the mood in this European-style hostelry; each simple but well-maintained room holds antique dressers and armoires, plus lovely Battenberg lace bedcovers and shams. Front rooms enjoy the best view, and coffee and tea are available all day in the kitchen where breakfast is served. The appealing inn's only Achilles' heel is tiny, tiny bathrooms, so cramped that you almost have to stand on the toilet to use the small-scale sinks (though surprisingly, some bathrooms have been updated with Jacuzzi tubs).
Hilton San Diego Gaslamp Quarter
With a location at the foot of the Gaslamp Quarter and immediately across the street from the Convention Center, this hotel is ideally situated for business travelers. Yet unlike some of its competition, the Hilton doesn't overwhelm with size, making it a great place for guests who want to be close to the action (which includes loads of restaurants, nightlife, and the ballpark within a few blocks), but not get lost in the shuffle. The hotel opened in 2001 on the site of the old Bridgeworks building -- part of San Diego's original wharf a century ago; much of the brick façade was incorporated into the hotel's polished design.Standard rooms boast upmarket furniture, including an overstuffed chair and ottoman, down comforters, and pillow-top mattresses. There are suites and an executive floor, but the really snazzy picks are rooms in the intimate Enclave wing, a converted office space next to the main building which features 30 oversize guestrooms with towering ceilings, custom furnishings, Frette linens, and lavish bathrooms sporting whirlpool tubs. No two of the Enclave units have the same floor plan, but they are the handsomest hotel rooms downtown, resembling a swinging loft far more than any typical chain hotel.
