Hampton Inn San Diego-Downtown

Somewhere between sun-kissed surfer and chic club-goer, San Diego is a Southern California city with a dash of character and serving of urban cool. Here, hypermodern architecture shadows a laid-back lifestyle and world-famous attractions neighbor stunning Pacific vistas - an only-in-San-Diego alchemy as dichotomous as it is perfectly paired.

And here, deep within the urban panorama, one of the top San Diego hotels near Gaslamp offers easy access to the best of the city. Commune with animals at SeaWorld or the San Diego Zoo. Dance the night away in the Gaslamp District. Or, simply enjoy the breeze off of the San Diego Bay, just a block from our hotel. Whether you enjoy the urban adventure, the great outdoors, or bayside entertainment, it's all here, minutes from one of the most convenient San Diego Zoo hotels.

Of course, San Diego is more than an amalgam of things to do and see; our region is steeped in history, too. Get a feel for the early days of California when you visit the El Camino Real Bells, two recently refurbished for Hampton's Save-A-Landmark® Program. El Camino Real, one of California's most historic highways, spans 1,700 miles and connects 39 missions, four presidios and several pueblos. It features markers designed as mission bells, supported by a staff in the shape of a Franciscan walking stick. Wherever you go and whatever you do it, make your home base at one of the top San Diego convention hotels.
