The 22 Best Hotels in San Diego
"The InterContinental offers a lot within walking distance. By foot, Little Italy is 15 minutes away and the Gaslamp Quarter is about 20. By car, Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo are less than 10 minutes. It may not have beach access, but the harbor's right at the hotel doors, perfect for sunset strolls, a visit to the USS Midway, and the Waterfront Park. Just don't mind the cruise terminal. In a destination like San Diego, the view is everything. So it makes sense that the InterContinental capitalizes on its harbor location with floor-to-ceiling windows (in rooms and even in the fitness center) and a fourth floor pool overlooking the water. That means plenty of prime sunset vantage points, too. This is a waterfront hotel for traditional, no-frills travelers." - Archana Ram, Beth Demmon
