W Hotel Review

Come here for the trendy decor, fruity drinks, and upscale rooms. The W chain's urban finesse adapts to San Diego with nautical blue-and-white rooms with beach-ball pillows and goose-down comforters. The Beach Bar has a heated sand floor, cabanas, and two fire pits, but the pool is tiny by San Diego standards. The lobby doubles as the surf-and-sand-chic Living Room lounge redone by Thom Filicia from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy; it's a local hipster nightspot where non-hotel guests have to wait behind a velvet rope. Be sure to get a room on an upper floor—the scantily clad crowd parties into the night. The hotel restaurant specializes in pastas and seafood, and the Away Spa caters to both body and spirit.
