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.

Alma is a beautiful hotel! It has amazing amenities. You definitely get your moneys worth for this hotel. Great spot to be in if you’re looking to be in an area to be around bars, clubs, and restaurant's. Not to mention the staff is SO nice. Lena was great!! She was more than helpful and made us feel so welcomed :)

Lena at the front desk was very helpful and kind. We had flown in early in the day and she helped us keep our luggage safe before check in. Hotel is very updated and nice. We loved the option to take morning yoga on the rooftop. Beds are very comfy!

I stayed at Alma for a short business trip and from the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a smile by Lena and Ana. They were both extremely helpful checking me into my room early and detailing all the amenities and perks of the hotel. Thanks ladies and I'll be back whenever I'm in San Diego for business!
