This list is based on property offerings, service, quality of the rooms, personal stays, reader feedback, and insider information from my contacts at each property below. So, I know what travelers are looking for when they say they want recommendations for five-star hotels in San Diego. My expertise stems also from five years of living in a luxury hotel.
I discuss them with readers daily and communicate with hotel in-house teams nearly as frequently. I know San Diego luxury hotels better than anyone.
