Back to Hotel List
Hotel Info Hotel Photos Rooms & Rates Location & Map

Hotel Overview

A poetic combination of sol and mar, the Spanish words for sun and sea, Hotel Solamar is a name that captures the allure of its San Diego setting - an area rich with the sun and proximity to the ocean. Hotel Solamar is the epitome of urban coastal chic. The d'ecor, radiating light and warmth, is only eclipsed by the sunny personalities of the staff with their bright smiles and a welcoming spirit. From sunrise to sunset, the goal of the day is fun and ease - even for business travelers - in a setting of style and comfort. As the sun sets? the daylight may fade, but the heat continues well into the evening with a lively and sophisticated scene at LOUNGEsix on Solamar Terrace or coastal California dining at Jsix.

The 235 guestrooms and suites provide the perfect space to relax and create with overstuffed chairs, LCD flat-screen TV's, opening windows and a fully stocked honor bar. Each room offers welcome amenities, such as Aveda bath products, plush robes, laptop friendly safes and spacious work areas with ergonomic chairs. Adjacent to the hotel guests will be enticed by Jsix Restaurant featuring Executive Chef Christian Graves' enlightened menu serving Coastal Cuisine guided by the principles of sustainability and inspired by California farms and the region's coastline.
