"The recently opened rooftop at the boutique Palihotel is quaint and cozy. Hotel guests can access the perch, but locals can order the $20 “Sky Cap” at the Saint James French Diner bar, which includes a cocktail du jour and chef’s choice snack downstairs. Once you’re on the top floor, you can order more cocktails from the full bar." - Helen I. Hwang
"The original Hotel St. James sign still stands atop this 1912 Victorian-style hotel building in San Diego’s nightlife-focused Gaslamp Quarter. Today, though, the old St. James is now Palihotel San Diego. It’s a 122-room boutique that aims to preserve the character of its setting, from the marble staircase and the vintage elevators to the Victorian architectural details in the rooms." - Mitchell Friedman
"Founder Avi Brosh, who operates 10 Palisociety hotels — mostly in LA and the West Coast — and four Arrive by Palisociety properties, has turned the historic St. James Hotel on Sixth Avenue into Palihotel San Diego, whose 122 rooms will be stocked with trendy amenities like Diptyque bath products and Smeg mini-fridges." - Candice Woo
"A colorful, nautical reimagination of the historic Hotel St. James, with original 1913 marble staircase and stained glass windows, and modern amenities including Bellino Fine Linens, Diptyque bath amenities, and Nespresso machines."
