Review

Condé Nast Readers' Choice 2021

Character and identity

A 1959 midcentury motor lodge reimagined in 2019, The Pearl sits two blocks from the bay in Point Loma, between La Jolla's beaches and Little Italy's restaurant strip. The 23 rooms wrap around an oyster-shaped saltwater pool that remains the property's centrepiece. The look is Palm Springs filtered through coastal California: wood, linen, handmade ceramics, vintage wall art, desert tones, no nautical clichés. Charles + Dinorah, the dinner-only poolside kitchen, runs a scratch menu of small plates built around seafood landed across the street, plus a Wednesday Dive-In Theatre and weekday happy hour. Service is personal and boutique in register.

Who's it for

Best for:
Design-literate couples and solo travellers in their 20s through 40s who want a small, photogenic, low-key base for exploring San Diego. If you care about Parachute bedding, a good pool scene, and a walkable dinner-and-cocktails set-up over square footage and hotel-brand amenities, this fits.

Should look elsewhere:
Families, anyone wanting a beachfront address, and travellers who need in-room coffee or a minibar (neither is provided). The immediate street is residential and bland, ringed by chain hotels, and rooms are genuinely small and close together. Light sleepers and space-seekers will struggle.

Bottom line

What you're paying for is design sensibility and a poolside social scene in a 23-room package, not space or full-service polish. Book the 300-square-foot Pearl Suite if you want any room to breathe, plan to be out exploring Little Italy and the beaches by day, and come for a Wednesday to catch the Dive-In Theatre.
