Westgate Hotel Review

A modern high-rise near Horton Plaza hides what must be the most opulent old-world-style hotel in San Diego. The lobby, modeled after the anteroom at Versailles, is done in antiques and Baccarat chandeliers. Rooms are individually furnished with Italian marble counters and bath fixtures with 24-karat-gold overlays. From the ninth floor up, the views of the harbor and city are breathtaking, but some views have been obscured by newer buildings. Afternoon tea, with or without champagne, is served in the lobby to the accompaniment of harp music. The San Diego Trolley stops right outside the door.

    I love the Westgate; ambiance is relaxing after a long day, the service is impeccable and my room was spotless and comfortable. My main reason for loving the Westgate is their attention to detail. Wake up calls are made by a HUMAN ! One morning I didn't answer as I had gotten up early and hopped in the shower. When I didn't answer, they sent someone to my room to make sure I was ok. Nuff said
