The Westgate Hotel is located minutes away from the airport and the San Diego Convention Center, just steps from the trolley/train station, and is readily accessible by freeway. Within walking distance is the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Opera, the Symphony, Horton Plaza shops and Gaslamp Quarter energy. Designed as a re-creation of an anteroom in the Palace of Versailles, the Grand Lobby is noted for its magnificent antiques, Baccarat crystal chandeliers, Flemish and French tapestries and Persian carpets. The Westgate is considered a one-of-a-kind hotel. Completed in 1970, it was filled with a certain timeless elegance that is considered not to be readily found anywhere else in the San Diego, California area.

We stayed at The Westgate Hotel for one night and had an excellent experience. The level of service was exceptional, and Sarah and Sophia in particular made a meaningful impact on our stay. Their thoughtful recommendations enhanced our visit and were greatly appreciated. Our room was spacious, well-appointed, and offered an excellent view of downtown, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The bar provided a sophisticated atmosphere with well-crafted drinks, and the pool area was equally impressive — beautifully maintained and relaxing. Although our stay was brief, it was seamless and memorable from beginning to end. We would gladly return and highly recommend The Westgate Hotel to others visiting San Diego.

Sarah and Sophia were excellent! Gave us a fantastic room with a great view. Assisted us in business center, stores our luggage after checkout as we were headed to see a show at Civic Ctr. Overall, smooth and memorable-in a great way!

I’m not sure where to start, but we had a great 3 night stay this week at the Westgate San Diego. Every staff member we encountered was kind, helpful, and professional. We chose this place because after years of loyalty to a large brand, we are tired of overpaying for declining experiences. The Westgate was surprisingly affordable for this area. Our double double room was spacious, well appointed, and comfortable. The bathroom was roomy and so cute. Everything was beautiful. The beds were comfortable and the linens were all amazing quality. The valet parking is efficiently run. Housekeeping is amazing. We had busy days while we were in town and each day we returned, exhausted, to beds perfectly made and everything so tidy. The water pressure is the best we’ve ever encountered. My daughter and I felt safe, pampered, and plan to return. Oh! And I don’t want to go without mentioning our great room service experience. I ordered a simple breakfast our first morning. It was delicious, affordable, and FAST! I was especially grateful for the amazing coffee!
