Intercontinental San Diego By Ihg - A waterfront luxury hotel with bay-view dining, rooftop bar, and 95000 sq ft of event space

Situated in Downtown San Diego, the Intercontinental offers 400 rooms featuring floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic water and city views. The 4-star property houses five distinctive dining venues overlooking San Diego Bay, including Vistal Restaurant + Lounge, Garibaldi speakeasy, Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse, Seneca Trattoria, and the Layover rooftop bar. A 3300-square-foot wellness center includes a yoga terrace and video wall, while the outdoor pool provides Pacific coast views. This San Diego hotel encompasses 95000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor event space with bay vistas. The property sits within walking distance to the USS Midway Museum, Maritime Museum, and Seaport Village, while the San Diego Convention Center and Petco Park are located 1 mile away.

Pros

All 400 guestrooms feature marble bathrooms, Keurig makers, and built-in USB outlets

Fourth-floor seasonal rooftop pool and bar overlooks aircraft takeoffs from San Diego International Airport

Garibaldi restaurant offers authentic Sardinian cuisine with indoor and outdoor seating

Contemporary wellness center includes specialized equipment and a dedicated yoga space

Cons

13-minute walk to the Gaslamp Quarter entertainment district

Limited street parking in the downtown area

“This waterfront property impressed me with its modern aesthetic and dedication to incorporating art into the experience. The rooftop bar, with its sweeping coastal views, is a major draw, and the multiple dining options mean you don't have to leave the premises for a good meal, although San Diego's vibrant neighborhoods are close by. It struck me as a solid choice, whether for business near the convention center or for a leisurely exploration of the city.”
