Hotel del Coronado, for kids' paint parties and slime labs in Coronado

It’s easy to see why California’s southern metropolis by the Pacific is such a big hit with vacationing families. Aside from the lure of endless sandy beaches as well as the popular San Diego Zoo and SeaWorld, there are lots of other activities to keep youngsters happy, such as exploring a science museum, catching a ball game or kayaking around ocean caves. And at the end of day, everyone can rest up at our carefully curated list of kid-friendly hotels in San Diego, bookable with Culture Trip.
There are few false notes at this buzzy boutique hotel in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter. The lobby with its coffered wood ceiling and massive chandeliers is the epitome of opulence, while the wood-paneled rooms and suites are decked out in a color scheme inspired by ocean and sand. With a rooftop pool and six trendy bars and restaurants, the Pendry is a perfect pad for party-minded parents who like to know their kids are just an elevator ride away.
With its crystal chandeliers, antique furniture and aura of timeless elegance, the Westgate is so fantastically French, you half-expect to spot the Eiffel Tower from your step-out balcony. After a day on the sightseeing track, retire to generously proportioned rooms that mix old-world sophistication with contemporary comforts and technology. It’s also a surprisingly kid-friendly hotel in San Diego, thanks in part to the fun rooftop pool. Grown-ups, meanwhile, can let off steam in the state-of-the-art fitness club or enjoy classic afternoon tea with pastries and champagne in the lavish lobby.
A Frisbee toss from sea and sand, this low-key surf-inspired hotel makes a handy base for a relaxed beach vacation and is considered one of best family hotels in San Diego. Learn to “hang 10” during summertime surfing lessons or hit the heated oceanfront pool if the Pacific is too chilly. The hotel’s fleet of beach cruisers makes getting around the lively Pacific Beach neighborhood a snap. Belmont Park, San Diego’s iconic amusement park with its Giant Dipper wooden roller coaster, is only a quick ride away.
