San Diego is one of the best Californian destinations to enjoy a beach holiday while keeping close to the urban landscapes. The beaches are colorful and they vary from the most luxurious to the cheaper ones. The Marina, the Bay, SeaWorld, the water sports and activities are plentiful in San Diego and exploring them all is a must. Here are the top waterfront San Diego hotels to choose from.

San Diego Marriott Marquis & Marina
This bay side hotel spares no effort in spoiling its guests with luxury, but still keeps to the moderately priced side of hotel accommodations. Right next to the Seaport Village, the San Diego Marriott Marquis & Marina is the perfect hotel to enjoy waterfront dining, a trip to the San Diego Zoo, the hotel’s 446-slip marina, or the two free-form outside pools.
Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel
A definite winner in terms of prime waterfront locations, the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel delights its guests with breathtaking views of either the port or the waterfront. The hotel has been built on a former shipyard and translated its historic location into a clean, light-blue nautical themed designed for its more than a thousand oversized rooms. You can also enjoy the bay view right from the hotel’s only heated saltwater pool, a first for San Diego.
Omni Hotel San Diego
If you are a baseball fan, you’ll be happy to know you can mix your love for San Diego’s nautical landscape with your passion for this sport. The Omni Hotel San Diego is located in the PETCO Park complex, home to local Major League Baseball team, the San Diego Padres. Explore the history-rich Gaslamp District, enjoy the San Diego Bay, along with the nightlife and shopping.
Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina
Who says you cannot enjoy a luxury hotel near the beach with your four-legged best friend? The Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina is the place to go for dog lovers with a passion for water sports and deep blue views.
