San Diego Hotels Near the Best Shopping

San Diego's shopping is spread from the bay to the beaches, so the easiest plan is to stay near the district you'll spend the most time in: downtown for the Gaslamp, Little Italy and Seaport Village, La Jolla for the Village and UTC, or Coronado for Orange Avenue. The trolley's Blue Line links downtown with UTC. 2 hotels here hold a MICHELIN Key: The LaFayette Hotel and Club and Orli La Jolla. We sort every hotel by the shopping attached to it or nearest it, and we don't print rates.
