San Diego's only beachfront AAA Four Diamond hotel, Pacific Terrace Hotel occupies a sandy bluff at 610 Diamond St, San Diego, CA 92109, directly above the Pacific Beach boardwalk. This independent boutique property was built in 1986 and fully renovated in 2018, housing 73 ocean-view suites across three stories with island-style décor and private balconies or patios. Awards from Condé Nast Readers' Choice, Forbes, and Trip Savvy place it among the top beach hotels in San Diego, and it participates in the State of California Green Lodging Program. Walking distance from the hotel, JRDN Restaurant offers one of Pacific Beach's most acclaimed waterfront dining experiences just a few blocks north. Complimentary beach gear — including chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, and boogie boards — is available to all guests, along with cruiser bikes for rides along the three-mile boardwalk. The heated outdoor pool and Jacuzzi overlook the coastline, and tiki torches light the pool deck each evening for cocktail service. Massage services are available in guest rooms, poolside, and in a dedicated couples massage room — a feature that distinguishes Pacific Terrace from comparably rated San Diego beach hotels. Guests who prefer casual beachside dining can walk to Bare Back Grill, a Pacific Beach institution with an ocean-view patio a short distance south. The front desk operates around the clock; reservations can be made at 858-581-3500.
