Bristol Hotel - San Diego

Hotel Overview

Stylish boutique hotel in the heart of downtown This nine-story hotel is steps from shopping and dining at Horton Plaza, three blocks from the historic Gaslamp Quarter, and seven blocks from the San Diego Convention Center. Originals by Andy Warhol and Peter Max highlight the Bristol’s impressive pop art collection, which makes a fitting complement to the hotel’s stylish martini bar and bistro. Bright colors and chic design abound in the 102 guestrooms, which also feature CD players, complimentary high-speed Internet access, and windows that open to catch ocean breezes.

Property amenities

The Bristol offers complimentary newspapers in the restaurant, a fitness center, business services, covered parking, car rental arrangements, and a trolley stop right outside the front door.

What to expect: The lobby looks more like it belongs in hip South Beach or Los Angeles, with modern furnishings in crayon colors of red, yellow, and blue. Bold pop-art sets a high-energy mood. A softer ambience prevails in the intimate bistro and ebony-paneled cocktail lounge just off the lobby.

Amenity highlights: This hotel is justly proud of its art collection that includes works by Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, and Peter Max. The spectacular Starlight Ballroom, with a sliding roof that allows dining under the night sky, is available for private parties and business functions.

Insider tip: San Diego's picturesque waterfront and the Embarcadero, where boats leave for harbor excursions and Coronado, is a cheap cab ride from the hotel, or a nine-block walk down Broadway.

Dining

Daisies Bistro - Situated in a quiet area behind the lobby, this restaurant serves contemporary American cuisine, including seafood, salads, and creative appetizers. The adjacent lounge with its curved bar is a stylish stop for martinis and light meals.
