There's no place like Z

Have you ever visited a city where it’s impossible not to have fun? That’s San Diego. Just try to have a lousy time here: the historic Gaslamp Quarter is a 16 ½ block urban playground abundant with dining, shopping, and nightlife. And smack dab in the middle of it, you’ll find the award-winning Hotel Z, purposefully located within walking distance to Petco Park and the San Diego Convention Center. So come for a game, a conference, or simply come for the sun, sand, and surf.

We’ve got you covered.
