For a hip scene in downtown San Diego, the W is the place to go. Whether you're there to hang out or just to sleep, the stylish hotel's quirky style is sure to appeal. The rooftop Beach Lounge comes complete with heated sand, three cabañas, a fire pit, two full-service bars, and a scantily clad… more clientele. You'll also find other fun design touches here, like a pool surrounded by blue Astroturf and hanging planters. And, for chic and tasty eateries, the W is home to the sultry Living Room, a lounge that serves light cuisine and cocktails, and a signature restaurant, Rice, which serves contemporary global fare. The rooms although comparable in size to cruise-ship cabins, are done up in cool modern decor, with soothing colors and super-sleek white furnishings. The beds here all feature pillow-top mattresses, plush linens, and goose-down comforters. High-tech gadgets abound, too, like cable TV with HBO; movies on demand; DVD player; CD player; high-speed Internet access; dual-line cordless phones; and a CD and DVD library open 24/7.
