Hotel Solamar

Frommer's Review

This Kimpton property is stylishly urban and sophisticated, and provides excellent Gaslamp Quarter digs, just around the corner from PETCO Park. There are the usual high-end amenities like plush beds and flat-screen TVs and DVD players, as well as more thoughtful ones like complimentary yoga accessories, art supplies, and condoms. You don't even have to leave the hotel for fine dining or exciting nightlife. Solamar's JSix restaurant, serving coastal California cuisine, is a creative space with lots of interesting architectural features and decor, including a wall of fezzes (or is it fezzi?). Up on the fourth-floor pool deck, you will find J6 Bar, which quickly became a favorite with locals. With its fire pits, lounges, and cabanas, it can be quite a scene here -- so be forewarned: If you plan to go to bed early, ask for a room away from the pool. Hotel Solamar also offers an evening wine hour in the lobby "living room."
