The Davis Downtown San Diego in downtown San Diego’s East Village converts a 22-room 19th-century building at 765 Tenth Avenue into a tech-enabled boutique hotel operated by Kasa Living, the same 2016-founded hospitality company that runs Kasa Little Italy across town. A rooftop lounge with BBQ grill and city-skyline views serves as the communal gathering space, distinguishing the Davis from the lobby-lounge model at extended-stay competitors like Sentral San Diego Gaslamp Quarter several blocks west. Kasa’s contactless workflow handles all check-in through smart locks and a virtual front desk, with no traditional lobby counter — a software-first operations model that keeps staffing lean across the company’s 85-plus-property portfolio. Most rooms are stairs-only access with no elevator, preserving the original 19th-century structure while limiting mobility-impaired configurations. The building’s Tenth Avenue address sits three blocks from Petco Park, placing Padres game-day foot traffic and the Gaslamp’s bar corridor within a walk that also passes Comfort Inn Gaslamp Convention Center along the route. Rain-shower heads, private balconies, and individual room entrances give the largest units a residential feel inside the historic shell.
