Down to Earth, Up with Style – our prevailing “personality” is fun, easygoing and accessible. The Pearl reimagines a classic California hotel atmosphere, allowing the spirit of mid-century design to thrive anew through artwork, furnishings and architecture. Truly, this is a San Diego hotel borne of honest instinct and inspiration that’s a must-stay Southern California destination–for business, for pleasure, or for both.
Run, don’t stumble, to The Pearl in Point Loma, San Diego. They’ve completely redone an old sailor’s dive into a very hip, very funky little gem with a sense of humor. The rooms feature platform beds, fishbowl lighting fixtures with actual fish in them, 36-inch flat panel TV’s on the wall, free-standing showers, and very comfortable and happening furnishings. They also boast a Dive-In Movie, where they show movies on a huge screen on the second floor railing over the pool. There are huge beach balls floating all over the pool and poolside service. Omigod how I wished it were later in the year and the pool was heated. It is heated later in the year, but damn the luck for coming in February. We love this place and will be coming back.
The best part? If you stumble in after midnight, you can get any unsold room for $79. Beat that. Daddy-O.
