Frommer's Review
The W took the city by storm when it opened in 2003, delivering swanky nightlife beyond the Gaslamp Quarter. Rooms are bright and cheery -- like mod beach cabanas beamed into downtown, replete with a sexy shower. Nouveau nautique is the theme, with elegant aqua and sand tones accenting the whites, a window seat (great idea), and a beach-ball-shaped pillow, a blunt reminder that this hotel is supposed to be fun. The WoW suite on the 19th floor is a 1,250-square-foot luxury accommodation with a host of state-of-the-art features and killer skyline views. The restaurant, Rice, has an adventurous and playful menu featuring contemporary global cuisine. The adjoining lounge, Karma, has a small-plates and champagne menu, while the airy lobby bar, Living Room, has turntables and board games (good luck concentrating on your chess match). Beach, on the third floor, is where the developers let it rip: The open-air bar has a sand floor (heated at night), a fire pit, and cabanas. Drinks are served in plastic, allowing you to safely roam the terrace barefoot.
