'This isn't just a hotel—it's San Diego's tropical oasis where Hawaiian hospitality meets Southern California charm, complete with koi ponds, waterfalls, and over 400 species of exotic plants thriving under a stunning glass atrium.'
What's Special?
The Gaylord Pacific features a breathtaking 4.5-acre indoor botanical paradise with meandering lagoons and bridges, making it feel more like a luxury resort in Maui than a convention hotel. The property's unique "lagoon-side" rooms offer views of the tropical waterways right from your window, while the rooftop pool provides panoramic views of San Diego Bay and the downtown skyline.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a Bay View room on floors 10-17 for stunning sunrise views over San Diego Bay, and visit the atrium gardens early morning when the lighting is most magical for photos.
Don't Miss
Take the complimentary shuttle to nearby Seaport Village for waterfront dining and shopping, or walk 10 minutes to the USS Midway Museum. The hotel's signature restaurant, Tidal, serves fresh Pacific Coast cuisine with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the bay—perfect for watching the sunset over Coronado Island.
