LOCATION

The Hilton Bayfront is in the heart of downtown San Diego and steps from some of the best attractions in the city. The hotel is only a 10 minute drive from San Diego Airport and if you’re planning to stay in the city you won’t even need to rent a car. San Diego is such a great city because everything is nearby. The property is steps away from the Gas Lamp District, the Rady Shell outdoor concert venue, Petco Park and so much more.

Of course, if you are looking to get out of the city you can easily rent a car in the city for the day and head out to some of the beautiful neighboring beach towns like Coronado Island or La Jolla. The San Diego Zoo, Sea World, and many theme parks like legoland are also just a short drive away.

THE PROPERTY

This resort does a great job of combining a metropolitan high-rise tower with outdoor space and amenities. You can easily escape the downtown feel and immerse yourself outdoors with their spacious pool, large grass areas, outdoor bar, and a walking path right along the water. 

Out back you will find a large pool and hot tubs lined with Palm Trees as you soak in the beautiful San Diego Weather. You will also find The Pool Club with a great outdoor bar and lounge area with fire pits.

Head to the Odysea Indoor and Outdoor bar that overlooks the city and bay. This is the go to spot for light snacks or evening drinks. 

This resort has a convention center and is also just steps away from the main San Diego Convention Center as well. 

This is the perfect place if you’re looking to catch a Padres game with a dedicated bridgeway that brings you right to the stadium! Keep a lookout outside for when the Padres win because you'll catch an awesome firework show just next door!

If you’re looking for a beach day you can hop on a ferry across the bay and head to Coronado Island which is a great beach town and has some of the best beaches in all of San Diego. 

THE ROOMS 

The rooms and suites here are newly re-done and feature your typical Hilton brand design and quality. The best part of the rooms are easily the views whether you are looking out at the ocean and Coronado Island or downtown San Diego. 

DINING 

Hudson & Nash is the main restaurant on property. This spot is a total vibe! This restaurant serves great food for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner and has a great bar. You’ll find no shortage of TVs to catch a sporting event or pregame the Padres game next door. 

The restaurant has amazing decor throughout the space and also features outdoor cabana seating where you can enjoy drinks or food with a view. 

OVERALL IMPRESSION

This is a great property if you are looking to stay in the heart of San Diego or planning a trip to catch a Padres team. The location is unbeatable and the property is well kept and fun for you to enjoy when you are looking for some down time on property.
