Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

For the times when you're about to take a cruise or need a place to recover from one, the massive (there are over 1600 rooms) Manchester Hyatt is a hotel that you don't have to leave. But, you should because it's situated in a prime bayside location about a mile away from the cruise port and walkable to San Diego's Gaslamp shopping, restaurants and nightlife. The trolley stop nearby is a gateway to historic Old Town for trinket shopping and margaritas or even to the Mexico border for the real deal. Those choosing to stay hotel-bound can luxuriate in the award-winning, full-service Kin Spa or hang out by the pool.
