Hotel Palomar San Diego: Immersed in the city's arts and culture
Hotel Palomar San Diego: Centered in San Diego's Arts and Culture Scene
Discover Art in Motion at Hotel Palomar, in the center of San Diego art and culture.
Called Broadway-West and the West Coast's West End, San Diego has a well-earned reputation for some of the best theater in the country. Hotel Palomar San Diego puts you in the heart of this creative energy, within blocks of extraordinary theaters, performance venues, galleries and museums.
Our boutique downtown hotel gives you a front-row seat to cutting-edge drama and inspiring art. When you catch a show in San Diego, it's highly likely that you'll be among the first to see the next Broadway hit - we have sent more plays and musicals to Broadway than any other city in America.
Site-specific dance performances and hip-hop in the streets show our penchant for motion. San Diego is also rich in visual art, offering a vibrant array of museums and galleries. Brilliant art surrounds you at Hotel Palomar, too, where original works grace our public areas and our accommodations define style. We offer a welcoming doorway to San Diego's cultural and artistic wealth.
