Iconic stay brings luxury to downtown
The spectacular crystalline design of The Westin San Diego is a signature landmark in the city's skyline. A 100-foot atrium lobby welcomes guests to the iconic property. The hotel is within walking distance to all of San Diego's most popular attractions. On site, guests enjoy an outdoor heated pool, a signature Westin Workout Gym and more. The restaurant, 400 West, serves contemporary cuisine in a casual and relaxed setting.
Highlights
- Terrific location in the heart of downtown
- Swim and relax in the heated outdoor pool
- An iconic building in the city skyline
Rooms
The Westin San Diego offers 436 rooms, including more than 30 suites with mind-bending views of the city and San Diego Bay. Each room comes standard with a flat-screen TV, the signature Westin Heavenly Bed, the signature Westin Heavenly Bath, make-up mirrors and in-room safes. Wi-Fi and high-speed Internet access are available (fees apply). Pets are welcome (fees apply).
Features
The Westin San Diego received AAA's four diamond award, but the property is best-known for its silhouette--the crystalline profile is one of the most recognizable buildings in the city's skyline.
All guests of the hotel receive complimentary access to the 24-hour Westin Workout Gym. The heated outdoor pool sits on a rooftop deck named Harbor Deck. Fittingly, Harbor Deck offers sweeping views of San Diego Bay. The property offers in-room spa treatments (fees apply) and provides 24-hour laundry service (fees apply).
The menu at the on-site restaurant, 400 West, is casual and contemporary, much like the eatery's decor. A coffee shop (The Aroma Café) and bar (The Bar) are also open to guests at certain times of day.

Great place to stay!
We went for my boyfriend's birthday weekend and had a great time! Everything but the marina was a short relaxing pedicab ride away. I forgot my toothbrush and toothpaste... literally 2 minutes from calling down to housekeeping, they delivered them! The valet staff was exceptional as well. Great experience. We'll be staying there again.

Convenient location and good value
We are happy with the hotel. We stayed at the Westin San Francis in San Francisco before. And we found this one offers better value - as the hotel is a lot newer and the interior (like the carpet, the lobby) is modern and clean. The room is very clean, it is quite large, nice bed with luxury bed linen.. The location is perfect for us to walk around in downtown San Diego. We walked to Little Italy, Gaslamp district for dinner and fun time in the evening. It is pretty safe. We did not like that the hotel room only provided plastic cups no glasses at all. When we called the staff quickly delivered two glasses to our room. Valet parking costs $32 per day. This was not clearly stated when we made booking.

Great room except
The amenities are great, location is o.k. if you don't mind walking. The room was very clean and we loved the bed (very comfy). Only dislike is that you hear the airplanes fly by. It's not constant but heard it mainly early morning.

Westin San Diego
The downtown San Diego Westin (400 Broadway) was a surprising disappointment compared to my usually positive experience at Westin Hotels. The rooms were OK but not great but the fundamental issue was the staff. There was a striking lack of helpfulness and cordiality from several of the front desk and concierge staff - this was noted by myself and at least two other colleagues staying at the hotel. I can only attribute this to a lapse in management oversight, or perhaps the hiring of surly staff. I should point out that the maids and bellhops on the other hand were helpful.

Overnight Getaway
I needed a night to myself, so I booked a room at The Westin San Diego. The staff was lovely when I checked in and my room was amazing. I was even asked if I was a Starwood member (which I am). I walked into my room, I was pleasantly surprised to find I had an beautiful view of the harbor. I will make The Westin San Diego my new getaway hotel.

Disappointed!!!!
I was really excited to book this Stay - Cation here for my sisters and I because it was it was their birthday and what I paid and the traveling distance, I was not impressed at all! Very disappointed in the staff, feeling and overall stay, not to mention, the beds were very uncomfortable! :( Was wishing for something better!

Love the Ocean
Fun Weekend Trip
Good location if you are doing stuff downtown. Went to a concert at the House of Blues and was able to walk there. About 5 blocks away, not bad. Room was clean and the bed was really nice. Nice view of the ocean, between other high rise buildings. They only have valet parking which cost $32 a day, which was kind of uncomfortable for me. I needed something out of the car and they brought it up to me. Felt like my car was held hostage, BUT, when I called for the car, they had it ready for us right away! Nothing was missing! Overall, pleasant stay. Nice Hotel.

Time-saving tip:
In Hotel
the address is 400 w Broadway, but, to get to the Valet parking, it is on Columbia street which is a one way heading south. Columbia street is west of the hotel.
