The Pearl Hotel

The Pearl Hotel prides itself on being a budget-minded option for people who would like to be close to Downtown San Diego and Shelter Island. There are 23 swanky rooms surrounding a vintage swimming pool where weekly "dive-in" movies are played. The Pearl's newly renovated rooms have that mid-century, Palm Springs style. Guest room amenities include free Wi-Fi, iHome, and 32-inch and 42-inch LCD televisions. Not only are the rooms cool, but Restaurant at The Pearl features California coastal cuisine in an upscale-casual environment with specialty cocktails and exquisite wines that are also served in the comfortable lounge area. This hotel won TripAdvisor's 2012 Traveler's Choice Award for trendiest hotel.
