Boutique hotel with 19th-century walk-up architecture in Downtown San Diego

Rooms & Accommodations

Each of the 22 rooms at The Davis Downtown San Diego is housed in a 126-year-old building with 19th-century walk-up architecture. Rooms offer bay windows, private bathrooms with rainfall shower heads, and individually controlled air conditioning units. Flat-screen TVs and a mini fridge are included in every room, while the 19th-century design gives each space a distinct character.

Amenities & Services

Guests have access to a rooftop terrace offering skyline views, along with a lobby lounge area with a fireplace and complimentary coffee and tea. Luggage storage is available for early arrivals or late departures, and customized check-in details are sent 3 days prior to arrival. Express check-in and check-out with private codes allow guests to bypass the front desk entirely.

Location

The hotel sits within a 5-minute walk of restaurants and bars in the Gaslamp Quarter, San Diego's nightlife district. The USS Midway Museum is 2.5 km away, Balboa Park is 2.6 km away, and the San Diego Convention Center is a 16-minute walk. San Diego International Airport is 4 km from the property, with public transit access to the San Diego Zoo and other attractions.

Entertainment & Dining

The rooftop lounge area provides a space for guests to relax with city views, and a BBQ grill is available on the terrace. The lobby offers self-serve coffee, tea, and cold filtered water for guests throughout the day. Nearby, the Gaslamp Quarter delivers a concentration of dining options, from Michelin-starred taco spots to casual breakfast joints like Breakfast Republic and Eggies.

Business & Convenience

Express check-in and check-out via text code removes the need for a physical front desk interaction, saving time for business travelers. Luggage storage lockers allow guests to drop bags before check-in or after checkout. The hotel's location within walking distance of the San Diego Convention Center and close to the airport makes it a practical choice for short business stays.
