The hotel

In the heart of the Gaslamp District, the Andaz is a sophisticated yet simple hotel offering the very best in accommodation and entertainment. The rooftop is the place to be– it’s not only home to a beautiful swimming pool and sundeck, its where you’ll find San Diego’s largest rooftop bar with DJs spinning the latest tunes whilst you sip cocktails and admire panoramic views of the downtown skyline. If you feel the need for a work-out, the gym is open 24-hours. A lovely place to while away the evening, afterwards you can head to RoofTop600 on the weekends. San Diego’s myriad attractions are all close by, including great shopping at Horton Plaza, just 2 blocks away.

The Andaz Hotel is a great place to stay! The food is excellent, and the rooftop is a highlight — with a pool, firepit, games, a great dining area, and an amazing view of the city.

The Andaz Hotel is a great place to stay! The food is excellent, and the rooftop is a highlight — with a pool, firepit, games, a great dining area, and an amazing view of the city. The location is perfect; you really don’t need to drive. I even walked to Padres Stadium from the hotel, and there are plenty of restaurants and things to do nearby. Everyone at the hotel was so helpful and welcoming. Diana and Nathan went above and beyond to accommodate my family and me, and Ian at the front desk was kind, helpful, and gave us wonderful dining recommendations. I would certainly recommend the Andaz Hotel to anyone visiting the area. Read less

Our company hosted a Regional Event at the Andaz, and we had the best time ever. I worked with Kiyomi during the event process, and she was great. She answered all the questions I had, and trust me, I had a lot. Ernie and his F&B team were outstanding. They were timely with the food layouts, there to assist, and very welcoming. Not to mention,… Read more

While the staff were friendly and the service welcoming and prompt, our room felt small and a bit shabbier than I expect from an andaz. The rooftop area is lovely space for breakfast but the food was only moderate- I expect andaz food to have more of a fresh farm to table feel while being flavorful and a little hipster. This was sort of average… Read more

Room 307 was very small, had a diabolical glass partition, smelled funky, and featured a view of the homeless shelter next door. The service was friendly enough and the location handy to most downtown things. We walked about 20min to a concert at Rady Shell with plenty of things to do along the way. Just don't walk the other way. I did not… Read more
Room 307 was very small, had a diabolical glass partition, smelled funky, and featured a view of the homeless shelter next door. The service was friendly enough and the location handy to most downtown things. We walked about 20min to a concert at Rady Shell with plenty of things to do along the way. Just don't walk the other way. I did not understand the room layout at all. We ran into the glass 'wall' several times at night. The door to the toilet/shower closet was awkward. I get it, they're trying to do a lot in a small space but this design isn't it. The room smelled of the load of laundry you forgot about in the washer and felt pretty used. This stay served its need. Not bad. Not spectacular. Totally adequate...but I think it markets itself as something above what it is. Read less

Our experience was great! The front desk staff was very helpful and happy to help! The rooftop staff was not as attentive and they were not busy when we visited on a Saturday morning.

Our experience was great! The front desk staff was very helpful and happy to help! The rooftop staff was not as attentive and they were not busy when we visited on a Saturday morning. We were one of three parties there at the time. I wouldn't recommend this hotel if you are a light sleeper since you can hear the music from the bars. They provide earplugs. Luckily we didn't have to use them since we didn't mind a little noise. Overall, we had a great time. Read less
