Just over the international border with California, Tijuana is throwing off its rebellious reputation and evolving into a vibrant cultural spot. As a result, hip urban boutique hotels are emerging to cater to the savvy traveler crowd. But if you’d prefer a familiar base for your time in Baja California’s largest city, there are still plenty of international-standard favorites. Choose the right spot for you from among our top picks, bookable with Culture Trip.

Shopping fans will appreciate the location of Lucerna. The nearby Plaza Rio mall means you can shop ‘til you drop. But for something a little more authentic, walk 15 minutes to the spice-perfumed Hidalgo Market and pick up brightly colored handicrafts. Back at the hotel, there’s a great pool. All 168 rooms have balconies or patios where you can put your feet up with a glass of local wine and watch the sun set over the cityscape.

Great for sports fans, Gamma Tijuana is a 15-minute cab ride to the city’s biggest stadiums: Caliente Stadium for soccer and Chevron Stadium for baseball. If the kids are in tow, the slide-tastic Aquatica is only 15 minutes in the other direction, across the border in San Diego. Catering to a business-focused clientele, rooms are clean and comfortable, and there’s a restaurant on site.

Design devotees will appreciate the aesthetic of Quartz – it’s a step up from the standard city hotel offerings. The reception desk is a colossal slab of quartz setting the cool, clean-lined theme for the hotel. The seating looks like it could be at home in a gallery, and the food resembles artwork on your plate. All rooms look out to the garden area.

The interiors of the pastel pink Nook are inspired by the cross-culture lifestyle of the border cities San Diego and Tijuana. One side of the hotel faces the street that heads north to the US border. The hallway outside all 17 rooms doubles up as an art gallery, and there’s a 1980s-inspired restaurant next door.
