The Westgate Hotel in downtown San Diego brings Versailles-scale French Provincial design to 1055 Second Avenue, lining its public spaces with Baccarat crystal chandeliers, 18th-century tapestries, hand-loomed Persian carpets, and a Steinway Grand piano. Guest rooms start at 400 square feet with floor-to-ceiling windows, European furnishings, marble bathrooms, and step-out balconies — a room footprint that ranks among the largest in the San Diego hotel market and a culinary adjacency to the Gaslamp Quarter corridor where Garibaldi serves its Italian-inflected menu blocks south. The four-story AquaVie Fitness & Wellness Club houses over 200 machines, group exercise studios, a sauna, and a steam room beneath a rooftop deck with a heated Junior Olympic-size pool, hot tub, and one-tenth-mile running track. Executive Chef Fabrice Hardel runs Le Fontainebleau — voted most romantic restaurant by San Diego Magazine — alongside the Cafe Westgate and the Plaza Bar, which has earned repeated recognition as the city's top piano bar. Afternoon Tea runs as a seated harp-accompanied service with tea sandwiches, scones, and seasonal pastries, and the hotel's 17 meeting rooms anchor around the Versailles Ballroom for groups that supplement their event programs with bodywork at Essence Thai Spa By NUNU in the surrounding downtown blocks. The Presidential Suite crowns the property with harbor and Coronado Bridge panoramas, a full kitchen, and a leather-top executive desk for heads-of-state-level hosting.
