This 19-story hotel, three blocks from the Gaslamp Quarter in downtown San Diego, offers modern amenities with old-world style.

Property amenities

Set behind a modern high-rise exterior, this 19-story hotel offers an oasis of European style in downtown San Diego. Its lobby, for example, was modeled after an anteroom in France’s Versailles Palace, and its public areas are filled with antiques, Baccarat crystal chandeliers, and 18th-century tapestries.

The old-world ambience is echoed in three Continental-inspired restaurants, two intimate lounges, and in several meeting and banquet rooms with ornate ceilings and crystal chandeliers. Amenities include a day spa, fitness center, and business center with complimentary high-speed Internet access. The hotel provides discount passes to a local fitness facility and complimentary transportation to the airport, SeaWorld, and attractions in Balboa Park, including the San Diego Zoo.

Dining

Le Fontainebleau - The hotel’s flagship restaurant offers a menu of Nouveau Continental dishes that pair meat, game, and seafood with light sauces. Located on the second floor, the restaurant offers a refined setting marked by antiques and original paintings. Open for lunch and dinner during the week (dinner only on Saturdays), the restaurant also has a special “Seafood Soiree” on Friday nights, dancing on Saturday nights, and a champagne brunch on Sundays. The hotel’s Imperial Bar is just outside the restaurant entrance.

Café Westgate - This restaurant’s location—across the street from the San Diego Civic Theatre—makes it a popular spot for pre- and post-theater dining. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it serves Continental-inspired California cuisine.

Plaza Bar - This intimate bar next to Cafe' Westgate is noted for its live piano entertainment and “liquid therapy.” Light snacks, including pa^te's, international cheeses, and pastries also are offered.
