FROG FAMILY REVIEW

Kimpton Hotel Palomar San Diego*

What we love

A stylish, infinity-edged, heated rooftop pool is splash and lounge friendly, with sweeping city views bringing sleek SoCal style to your lily pad.
Carefully curated bath amenities, luxe robes, and lush linens.
The state-of-the-art fitness center, featuring Life Fitness cardio equipment, overlooks 5th Avenue so you can people watch the bustling city streets while you work out.
Tasty Mexican cuisine isn’t far away with tasty tacos and fun cantina vibes in-house at Curadero.
The Arriba Room, a hang-out space located upstairs from Curadero, is stocked with vintage arcade games, foosball, pool tables, and more.
Pets are recognized as part of the family at Kimpton and even provided with a comfy pet bed, a bowl, and doggie amenities like treats and water bottles in the room to help them feel welcome.
Situated on the northern edge of the Gaslamp Quarter, with numerous shops, bars, and restaurants within a short hop.

Keep in Mind

Self-parking is only available at partner lots (one is across the street). Valet parking is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week at the hotel.
Pet-friendly – no fees or size restrictions! If they fit in the elevator, they can come!
There is a limited number of connecting rooms available; be sure to include that in your special request if booking multiple rooms.

Frog Family Tips

For a truly luxurious stay, consider booking a Skyline Suite on one of the upper floors for sweeping city views and a private, furnished balcony to enjoy the California sun.
Start your mornings right with complimentary coffee or tea after utilizing the provided in-room yoga mat to find your center.
Hop down to the front desk to rent complimentary custom-designed Kimpton PUBLIC bikes to cruise the city in style.
Unwind from a busy day of sightseeing at the daily evening social from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. while sipping on a craft cocktail.
Entertainment may be as close as right next door: the hotel is connected to House of Blues San Diego which offers all-ages shows.

Best For

Travelers that want the convenience of a downtown location where attractions are walkable that also have an eye for and appreciation for sleek details that really define a memorable stay like in-room yoga mats, picture-worthy views, luxury amenities, and a rooftop pool.

Kimpton Hotel Palomar San Diego Information

California dreaming? Hardly. There’s no need to pinch yourself as you walk through the grand lobby doors of Kimpton Hotel Palomar San Diego, because this is as real as it gets.

This boutique hotel is situated in the heart of downtown San Diego at the edge of the Gaslamp Quarter. Attractions like the USS Midway Museum, The New Children’s Museum, the historic Gaslamp Quarter, Little Italy, and Petco Park are within walking distance. Balboa Park, San Diego Zoo, museums galore, Belmont Park, and SeaWorld San Diego are all just a short drive. Venture out a little further to check out sites like La Jolla, Old Town, and LEGOLAND California.

The hotel provides several guest room and suite options with spectacular views of downtown San Diego from varying perspectives, with some rooms offering floor-to-ceiling windows, private balconies, and soaking tubs. All rooms come equipped with work areas, luxury bath amenities and linens, a TV with HD channels, and a personal safe. Pets of all shapes and sizes (that can fit on the elevator) are welcome and additional doggie amenities are provided to help them feel at home as well. Accessible rooms and features are available.

Frequent guests at the Kimpton are accustomed to signature amenities like morning coffee service, an evening social, and “Forgot it? We’ve got it!” travel essentials. At the Palomar San Diego there’s also same-day laundry and dry-cleaning services, a 24-hour fitness center, and a sundries store for snacks. The rooftop pool and lounge area is the perfect place to plan out your day’s game plan or enjoy a beautiful sunset with a cocktail in hand. Curadero, the on-site restaurant, brings authentic Mexican flavors north of the border for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Business travelers will also love the stylish meeting room options and upgraded Wi-Fi speeds throughout the hotel and it’s an ideal location for a celebratory event of any style.

A deeply calming retreat amid the downtown buzz, Kimpton Hotel Palomar San Diego is in the heart of it all, whether you’re seeking trendy nightlife, the craft brewing scene, or world-class arts and culture.
