About this stay

Stepping into The Westgate Hotel feels like a journey to a grand European estate, right in the heart of downtown San Diego. The hotel's classic elegance is evident in its hand-crafted furnishings and refined atmosphere. Guests can start their day with a swim in the rooftop outdoor pool, offering panoramic city views, or unwind at the full-service spa. Dining at Bonne Vie Brasserie & Bar provides a taste of French-inspired cuisine with a Californian twist, while the traditional Afternoon Tea, accompanied by live harp music, offers a delightful experience. Its prime location next to the trolley station makes exploring the city effortless.

Our take

An 8.9 rating from 270 reviews shows that The Westgate Hotel remains a reliable historic choice in downtown San Diego. I would choose it for its classic European-style rooms, the rooftop pool with city views, the full-service spa and the Afternoon Tea with live harp music. The trolley station next door makes car-free sightseeing easy. Travelers who prefer modern, minimalist design may find the decor too formal.

  • Take advantage of the hotel's proximity to the trolley station for easy exploration of San Diego's attractions.
  • Unwind in the Afternoon Tea experience with live harp music for a truly memorable and relaxing afternoon.
  • Explore the full-service spa for a rejuvenating treatment after a day of sightseeing in the city.

Why we love it

  • The historic elegance and European-inspired decor
  • Rooftop outdoor pool with city views
  • Full-service spa for ultimate relaxation
  • Prime downtown location next to the trolley
Why guests love it

The Westgate Hotel sits next to a downtown San Diego trolley station, so families can reach much of the city without a car. The rooftop pool has panoramic city views, and the full-service spa is there for parents. Rooms have hand-crafted European furniture and a 49-inch TV. A traditional Afternoon Tea with live harp music is a memorable outing for older children, and Bonne Vie Brasserie & Bar serves French-inspired cooking with a Californian twist.
