The Westgate Hotel | San Diego, California | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

San Diego, California

4 stars

Transport yourself back in time and stay at the elegant Westgate Hotel in the Gaslamp Quarter. Brimming with decadent furniture, the rooms here are some of the largest in the city, and designed to meet the high standards of European hospitality - so you'll certainly feel at home! If you're visiting between Thursday and Sunday, afternoon high tea in the Grand Lobby is a must. And on these evenings there's a host of live music to be enjoyed in the evenings too, be it out on the Veranda on balmy evenings, or in the Plaza Bar (where you can enjoy it with some delicious light bites and cocktails). The hotel is close to the famous Balboa Park, you can even see it from some of the rooms, and the area has plenty of restaurants, bars and boutiques. Back at the hotel, leave time to enjoy a bit of relaxation at the rooftop pool or in the sauna - the AquaVie fitness and wellness centre spans 4 levels offering a range of classes and treatments to have you feeling rejuvenated.

“Always a great time!!!”

Oct 14, 2025Attila M

I have been staying at this beautiful property very frequently due to my work. So much that I have got to know pretty much the entire front staff. I have over 20 years hospitality experience including running a similar luxury boutique hotel for 14 years. The Westgate in San Diego reminds for those years. I recognize the service elements trained in the staff here as well. Each and every one of them reflects it. They are always engaging, polite and helpful and anticipating needs giving solutions for problems if arises any. Any guests who claims that any of the staff members have not been up to these standards should probably examine themselves before they blame others. I can strongly state it as I am at the hotel a lot and always observe as I am from similar background and cannot help but critique everywhere I go. The recently refurbished rooftop pooldeck with high end furniture is one of my favorite spot to hang out especially the lap pool (as I have been a pro swimmer) it is hard to find at hotels. The 3 story gym with spa, sauna and steamroom is also one of the best that hotel guests have the privilege to use. On weekends there is a very nice high tea frequently accompanied with beautiful harp play. I am aways looking forward to return and see all the familiar faces, I actually make a point at my job to stay here! Thank you All to always make me feel home! See you soon!

The hotel is gorgeous. Out room was impecable and spacious. The bed was super comfortable. The location is perfect because is close enough to the Gaslamp District without the craziness. The hotel stuff are amazing. They are friendly and accommodating. I would definitely come back here. I loved the pool too! Food was great as well!

Our stay with Westgate Hotel San Diego was wonderful. We were kindly greeted by Natalie for checkin. The process was quick and easy. Beds were comfortable and room was quiet. Would recommend staying here!
