Only a long ball away from Petco Park, the Padres' new stadium, the Solamar relies on brains rather than brawn. At ten stories, it's considerably shorter than most of its downtown rivals, but its fresh sophistication gives it an edge. From the designer dog-beds to the public areas' oceanic decorative arts, someone put a lot of thought into comfort and style. Awash in whites, blues, and browns, the 235 guest rooms have teakwood furnishings and abaca headboards whose design mimics coiled ropes on sailing vessels. Foodies flock to the adjacent Jsix, and trendsetters mingle on a sprawling fourth-floor terrace with a pool and alfresco bar. But it's the affability of the staff that you'll remember—the ultra-laid-back yet efficient attitude which permeates the best of sun-splashed San Diego.
