Hilton Bayfront San Diego Photos






Hilton has a new bayfront hotel located in downtown San Diego. It is right across the street from the San Diego Convention center and Petco Park and walking distance to the Gaslamp district. They are currently building a walkway bridge from the hotel to Petco Park.

Pros:

End rooms have two views-downtown and the bay
Food is great
Starbucks storefront located in the hotel
great location
great views
gym is modern and has a great view of their infinity pool.
Pets allowed (daily fee)

Cons:

Internet and parking is pricey.

If you are a Hilton Honors member, you will be given vouchers for each guest and each day you are staying. The vouchers include free Starbucks breakfast or $10.00 for the breakfast buffet @ Vela's (regular price is $50.00 ), free appetizers @ OddySea, and discounts for their spa.

I visited their Spa called Aquazul Spa. The decor is contemporary modern with of course, an ocean theme. The facial was unimpressive. The esthetician did not analyze my skin. She said I did not need extractions...really? The products they used is called "Phytomer". An marine plant based line from France. I have worked with this product before and was not impressed.

The massage however, was wonderful. You have a choice of scents of heated oil.

This hotel is great for a quick getaway, a staycation if you will. If you are reading this and you are from out of town, I greatly recommend this hotel in regards to location. Almost every part of the hotel lobby, gym, and restaurants boasts of wall to ceiling glass to open up to the bayfront views!! Enjoy the pictures!!
