Omni San Diego Hotel Rating: 4.0 Pearls

Gaslamp Quarter, San Diego, California

The Omni San Diego has a grown-up, business-oriented vibe and sophisticated (if unadventurous) decor. In the lobby, light woods, works of art displayed in recessed shelves, gleaming marble tile floors, soaring ceilings and huge glass windows combine to create a soothing, airy feel. The rooms are also calm and light-filled. But some patterns are generic, making the decor feel a little less than luxurious overall.

The Omni San Diego is located in the southern end of the Gaslamp Quarter, connected by skybridge to Petco Park and across the street from the San Diego Convention Center.

The historical Gaslamp Quarter, located between 4th and 6th avenues, and between Broadway to the north and Harbor Drive to the south, is a hip, young neighborhood that’s home to some of downtown San Diego's best restaurants, shopping, nightlife, boutiques, and art galleries.
