Our Southern California hotel offers laid-back hospitality in an unpretentious and upscale setting. We combine vibrant artwork, music and design with culinary delights that match the authentic spirit of our downtown San Diego neighborhood. Our boutique hotel spaces weave together Mexican touches and San Diego’s effortlessly cool vibe for an inspired local experience. Blooming green ferns and an all-glass facade welcome guests into the curated lobby giving way to a casual café perfect for cold brews or cocktails. After a stroll through Balboa Park, a surf at the beach or a wander through the Gaslamp Quarter, catch some rays by the rooftop pool deck before migrating into our spirited destination dining. Once the glasses are empty and plates cleared, our plush suite and guestroom beds come calling. Rest assured — tomorrow looks just as bright.

We held our annual team meeting at Alma San Diego and loved it! The location was great, the rooms were nice, but the team at Alma made everything so much better! From the initial sales process with Yesika, to the event team on site (Jessica, Alfredo, Mario) and the entire front desk staff we worked with, it was the most seamless meeting I've managed so far! Thank you for everything you all did!

This is my second time at this property and I just have to say it is the best in terms of service from the employees! The hotel room is super nice and the bed is insanely comfortable! I love that they offer food and beverage credit and wine for guests that pay the amenity fee :) Lena the manager is amazing and deserves a raise. Her aura is awesome! I also love how walkable it is to everything.

I love this hotel! I stay here all the time whenever I am in town. Beds and rooms are comfortable and clean. The restaurant is great too. Food is tasty and the service is excellent! I just had breakfast and Monette was incredibly charming and helpful. She has a cheerful and friendly personality which made my day. Thank you and I always look forward to my next visit.

Such a sweet and smart service by Monette. She is so flexible, with a beautiful manner, patient, and escorted me to the front desk when I wanted to see the hotel rooms. The front desk staff was also easy to communicate with and introduced me to the manager, who was able to show me the rooms. The room was spacious, and the hotel was coolly designed. I am sure I can bring entertainment groups here. Thank you, Monette, for making my San Diego trip so delightful.
