About the Hotel
Perched on a sandy bluff above Pacific Beach, Pacific Terrace Hotel offers one of San Diego’s most coveted beachfront settings, combining relaxed coastal luxury with uninterrupted Pacific Ocean views. As the city’s only beachfront AAA Four Diamond hotel, the intimate 73-room property places guests just steps from the sand while providing a boutique atmosphere that feels both exclusive and effortlessly Californian. Recently refreshed throughout, the hotel features bright, coastal-inspired accommodations with private patios or balconies, many showcasing panoramic ocean vistas. Spacious suites, including the expansive Grand Pacific Suite, offer generous living areas and multiple balconies designed to make the most of the spectacular waterfront location.
The beachfront lifestyle is at the heart of the Pacific Terrace experience. Guests can relax beside the oceanfront heated pool and hot tub, borrow complimentary beach cruisers for rides along the boardwalk, or take advantage of complimentary beach chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards for a day on the sand. The Terrace Café serves casual coastal cuisine, poolside cocktails, and in-room dining with ocean views, while massage services offer an added touch of wellness and relaxation.

Our stay was absolutely amazing, highlighted by the best ocean views in all of San Diego. Pacific Terrace Hotel is a coastal paradise that we cannot wait to visit again.

Perfect Beachfront Getaway with Outstanding Staff and Service!* 🌴☀️🍹
Perfect Beachfront Getaway with Outstanding Staff and Service!* 🌴☀️🍹 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My wife and I recently enjoyed a quick getaway at the Pacific Terrace Hotel, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Ashley, Matt, Colin, and Kailey were outstanding and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable, relaxing, and memorable. Their friendly attitudes and exceptional customer service truly made a difference. The food was absolutely delicious, and the cocktails were some of the best we've had. Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. We also loved the activities available at the hotel. The activities coordinator made sure we were taken care of and got us set up with bikes so we could enjoy a ride along the boardwalk, which was one of the highlights of our trip. Between the amazing beachfront location, fantastic food and drinks, and the incredible staff, Pacific Terrace delivered the perfect San Diego escape. We can't wait to come back for another stay! I also LOVED my room birthday decorations.

Fabulous stay on the beach!
Had the best stay last weekend! Comfy beds, quality sheets, super clean, great food, friendly staff, hotel on the beach, heated pool, happy hour cookies, cute gift shop, got discount tickets to San Diego zoo, fire dance show on Friday nights, dinner before the show, huge patio, got the breakfast package and it was fantastic! Here are some photos from our little trip! I’m definitely staying again! Underground secure parking too!

Outstanding Experience!
Wonderful Anniversary stay! Property meticulously clean and well maintained. Hotel staff went above and beyond to exceed every expectation. Everyone from reservations, check in/out, concierge, valet, food & beverage manager, housekeeping, Guest Services, and Hotel Director were 100% focused to ensure our stay was perfect! Savannah, Meredith, Alexis, Tim, and Sandra were just a few of the staff who were exceptionally kind. Will deystay here again!

Amazing stay!!
Pacific Terrace was nothing short of amazing! From working with Nicholas on setting up our blocked rooms for my birthday group, check in, the rooms, the grounds, the locations and most importantly the staff, everything beyond my expectations. The location of the hotel was steps from the beach and just a short walk to all the restaurants and bars! Highly recommend booking through this hotel, you won’t regret it. We even got a room upgrade and they decorated my suite.
