DoubleTree by Hilton San Diego/Del Mar

Overview

Fancy a cracking good time in sunny San Diego? The DoubleTree by Hilton San Diego - Del Mar is your boujee base for all the California jollies. This 4-star gem is packed with everything you need for a laidback escape, whether you're hitting the local hotspots or just chilling by the pool.

Location

Nestled in San Diego's swanky Carmel Valley, you're just a hop, skip, and a 10-minute drive from the epic Del Mar Racetrack and Fairgrounds – perfect for a flutter or a festival. Golden beaches like Torrey Pines State Beach are a mere 4.4km away for some proper sun worshipping, and you're only about 30 minutes from San Diego International Airport (SAN) to kick off your adventures.

Rooms

After a day of exploring, crash out in one of 224 gorg guestrooms, each boasting a comfy pillowtop bed that's practically begging for a power nap. You'll find an LCD TV for your digital entertainment fix and a private bathroom with all the bits and bobs you need, though you might have to stump up a bit extra for the Wi-Fi – just a heads up!

Food & Drink

Get stuck into some delish American grub at Mosaic, the hotel's bistro, where you can grab a tipple at the bar, soak up the pool views, or even dine alfresco like a true VIP. If you're feeling extra laidback, room service has got your back, and there's a poolside bar for those essential holiday sips. Just remember, breakfast is an extra treat, not a freebie – worth it though!

Sports & Entertainment

Time to get your jollies on! Take a dip in the outdoor pool, bubble away your worries in the hot tub, or hit the fitness centre if you're feeling energetic. While there isn't a whopper waterpark on site, the hotel has you sorted with concierge services to point you to all the local watersports and fun, plus a handy gift shop for those last-minute souvenirs.
