Solamar, a Kimpton Hotel

The Solmar was a veery nice hotel right in the heart of San Diego. Easy walk to Gas Lamp District and the Petco baseball park. Shopping near by and the port is also in walking distance. Great pool bar and had a great social hour where wine was provided for all guest. A very nice touch to a super hotel.

Hotel Solamar - a Kimpton Hotel, SAN DIEGO, CA Was A Exellent Hotel Right In The Downtown San diego Area Everything Is Walking Distance !!! The Room Was Great Very Contemporary The Bathroom The Same !! Lots Of Great Places Around Restaurants , Shopping, ! Great Place Would Stay Again !!

A bunch of us girls stayed at Hotel Solamar for a bachelorette party. We wanted to have a pool day, then a night out in the Gaslamp. We arrived on a Saturday around 2pm and the pool area was rockin! Great DJ, cool crowd. This room was spectacular and absolutely perfect for what we needed. Only 3 of us were actually sleeping there but there was 12 of us partying it up. The Choregrapher Suite is HUUUGE. It did not have any beds and the bathroom was small but it was perfect for a party. It had a huge dining room table, a large living room setup with a pull out queen bed plus they gave us a rollaway bed. The kitchenette was a good size -- full sink, fridge and bar countertop perfect for mixing up cocktails. This hotel isn't for families and there was 3 other bachelorette parties that weekend. There's a hip bar around the pool that I've been too several times (I'm from San Diego) called J'Six Bar. Very cool. Oh, we got back from the bars around 3am and although we thought we were quiet, apparanlt someone didn't agree so we got the knock on the door and were asked to keep it down or else our guests would have to leave. We went to bed. At 5:30 am I got a phone call from an old man yelling at me to wake up and that we had kept him up all night. So rude.

This was a great location and the staff was a ton of fun!! When we arrived the front desk clerk told us about a 'Hula-Hoop' contest... 2 mnute and score a free room upgrade.... So my boyfriend gave it a whirl, he only lasted 2 seconds, but we still got the upgrade for the effort!!! It was an AWESOME room and a great time!!

We chose this Hotel Solamar for our 3 day road trip up to San Diego for some family fun. This place is great for everything. Great location - <2 blocks from Padres PETCO stadium, shopping, great dining. Although the fitness area is small, there's not much of a need for it with the San Diego weather. Despite being (overly) dog friendly, the rooms, facilities, and outdoor surroundings were very clean. The restaurant was outstanding, especially when compared to other hotel - affiliated dining establishments. The hotel staff were great. Would've been nice to have complimentary or reduced - priced parking for hotel patrons. Its a bit pricey, but no more so than any other hotel in the area. Will be back for sure.

This beautiful hotel is located in the Gaslamp Quarter of San Diego has complimentary coffee and tea in the morning as well as complementary wines and sangria in the afternoon. The staff was exceeding friendly and helpful. They were knowledgeable about attractions in the area and offered suggestions for ethnic restaurants. The Valet parking was quick and friendly. Located within walking distance of shopping and restaurants, trolley lines, the convention center, Petco Park and beautiful San Diego Bay. The pool is small but perfect for cooling off while enjoying your favorite beverage. Not the best for lap swimming. The pool is located outside on the roof of the 4th floor with a bar and several options for relaxing in sun or shade. The environment is probably not the best for small children due to the bar atmosphere.

Short walk to Seaport Village, Coronado Island Ferry and USS Midway. Surrounded by nice restaurants and bars. Steps from the San Diego Padres ballpark.

I found my stay at Hotel Solamar perfect. Location was key! Staff was more than freindly, very accomadating towards my needs. Helpful with any and all needed directions in San Diego.

The location in the Gaslamp District was ideal! No need for a car. However, if you do have a car, I suggest parking it at the parking lot across the street from the hotel for $15.00/night instead of paying the pricey $35.00/night at the hotel. This hotel has a very good 'feel' about it - Totally fantastic decor - hip, cool, sophisticated casual. Fourth floor level with outside pool, cabanas, firepits, food and bar with glowing colored lights. Complimentary coffee/tea hour in the mornings, icecream treats in the afternoon and wine from 5-6pm! Loved it, loved it. Request any room ending in "10" will give you a larger room, about extra 90 sq feet of sitting space. Will definitely seek out other Kimpton Hotels.

It was easy to enjoy the entire San Diego area with the Solamar as a home base. The hotel staff was very helpful and dining at JSIx was a great experience. The pool is small but adequate and the rooftop bar is a SanDiego hotspot.
