NileGuide Expert Says:
Truly a work of art in the heart of downtown San Diego, simply stepping inside the Westgate Hotel is an experience in itself
Description:
It may look like a 1970s office building from the outside, but the interior of the Westgate Hotel is positively Palace of Versailles. With its lush and lavish decor, which includes plenty of baroque furnishings, antiques, chandeliers, a sweeping grand staircase, and gorgeous floral displays, this is about as "old world" as San Diego gets. It's a hub of cultural and culinary activities, including afternoon teas, wine dinners, and special events. It has a great downtown location across the street from the Horton Plaza shopping center and the beginning of the Gaslamp Quarter. Behind the hotel is the San Diego Concourse, featuring convention spaces, the Civic Theatre, and the seat of city government. There's even a trolley stop right on the corner. The pricey and romantic Le Fontainebleau restaurant serves excellent modern French cuisine, while international foods including wine, cheese, and chocolates are available at the Gourmet Wine and Delicatessen. The cozy piano bar is a great spot for a nightcap.
