Omni San Diego Hotel

San Diego, one of the country's top destinations for conventions, captivates meeting attendees with its year-round sunny skies and host of cultural attractions. In 2004, the opening of Omni San Diego Hotel added to the city's allure. Located in the heart of the historic Gaslamp Quarter, across from the Convention Center and connected by a sky bridge to Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres, this 21-story luxury hotel offers a unique setting for meetings and incentives.

Guests stay in 511 sumptuous rooms and suites, all looking out across San Diego Bay, the downtown skyline or Petco Park. Featuring a contemporary decor, all accommodations blend plush bedding and generous baths with such modern conveniences as wireless Internet access, DVD players, digital alarm clocks with MP3 capabilities, and daily newspaper delivery.

More than 27,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor function space accommodates any type of event, whether intimate or grand, casual or formal. A stylish 9,266-square-foot ballroom hosts banquets of up to 600 people, while 21 versatile meetings rooms, including three state-of-the-art boardrooms, are ideal for sales and executive gatherings alike. Alfresco luncheons, cocktail receptions, and gala dinners can be arranged on an expansive terrace, complete with a pool and fireplace.

After hours, guests dine at McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurant or explore the eateries of the Gaslamp Quarter, also known for its boutiques, galleries and nightclubs. Another favorite pursuit: an evening of major league baseball just steps from the hotel across the sky bridge.
