The Hotel Solamar, a Kimpton Hotel hosts business meetings and corporate events with a contemporary vibe in San Diego's vibrant Gaslamp District. Eclectic decor and a friendly, can-do service philosophy promise meetings that stimulate creative thought. Even conference table goodies, such as saltwater taffy (instead of foil-wrapped peppermints) and art supplies—designed to coax out everyone's inner artist—strike a creative chord, a cornerstone of Kimpton Hotels' meeting philosophy. Groups gather in Hotel Solamar's 3,400-square-foot ballroom, boardroom, or three breakout rooms. Additional space by the pool and J6Bar, on the rooftop deck, affords views of neighboring Petco Park, the convention center, and downtown San Diego.
During free time, group members dine on California coastal cuisine at the on-site J6 restaurant, book in-room spa services, or stroll out the door to visit the neighborhood's choice of 300 shops, art galleries, coffee houses, restaurants, and trendsetting nightclubs.

Recommendation to Planners:
Fun, boutique property that is upscale without being uptight. Parking is expensive, however. Fantastic rooftop pool and bar area, which they can rope off for gatherings. Location is ideal, just a short walk to the convention center and tons of great restaurants. Staff was very pleasant.
Overall Rating: 4.4/5

Fantastic boutique property.
The staff was super friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed the wine and cheese hour. The most spectacular feature is the pool and bar patio on the roof. Great music, colors, and seating.
JSix is the restaurant downstairs and the food was well prepared and presented.
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
