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.

Solid three star hotel, not a four star

The hotel is clean and well located but the dated decor reminded me of 1990....this is a three star to me and not a four star hotel. It is also near the train station so I heard occasional whistles at 2 AM. The Heavenly bed was just that, however, Great. It is easy walking distance to Extraordinary Desserts which is a San Diego must!

Average hotel, great location.

The hotel is in a great location. The downtown/gaslamp area has tons of restaurants, shops,etc. The rooms are small but clean. The staff was pretty helpful.

Great for a long weekend

Our room was quiet, very comfortable (the shower was great and LOVE those beds!), and really spacious. The view was forgettable, but the location ideal as we could walk to The Gaslamp district, Horton Plaza, and Little Italy. Balboa park was a longer walk (2+ miles), but freeways were easily accessible for longer adventures. One note: the restaurant in the building, 400 West (not the deli, which we didn't try) was absolutely terrible - bad food and really expensive. Save your money and taste buds by checking Yelp for other options.

Clean and comfortable rooms

The rooms were very clean and the beds were like home, very comfortable didn't wake up with aches. Great views from the large windows (just needs to be cleaned on the outside). For the price of the hotel parking should have been included. The garage parking was expensive so we did the valet parking instead for 32 bucks a night. Overall everything was good. Easy access to shopping and interstate.

Great Hotel, Great Price

We stayed only for 1 night but the Hotel staff was really friendly, the rooms were clean and the location perfect. A nice Hotel to stay if you want to visit San Diego without using a car. Only the Hotel Parking is really expensive. In case you have to bring a car there is another parking lot located 5 Min from the Hotel at the harbour and is not as expensive as the Hotel parking.

Would not stay here again!

I booked this via [...] while attending a convention at the Hilton (bayfront). I had never been to SD before and had no idea about the locations. The Westin downtown is located adjacent to the courthouse. There are almost no nearby restaraunts or places to eat. The real gas lamp quarter is a 20 minute walk. I'm originally from the Bronx and I would not walk outside this hotel at night alone. There are a lot of homeless individuals asking for handouts etc. The hotel itself is mediocre at best. Its lobby is shared with an office building. The room service menu is sparse. If you are either a lawyer or a defendant who needs access to the court, this is a great location. For any other business reasons, this is a terrible place to stay. I checked out early and was more than willing to forfeit my prepaid charges and moved to the Hilton Gaslamp. That is a much better located hotel with definitely better ambience.
