Catamaran Resort: Tropical setting along Mission Bay Aquatic Park ...

Hotel Review Room Features Policies Pictures Dining Location Driving Directions
Location	Catamaran Resort San Diego: Ideally situated right on Mission Bay, Catamaran Hotel San Diego has its own bay and ocean beaches, complete with watersports facilities. Built in the 1950s, the hotel has been fully renovated to modern standards without losing its trademark Polynesian theme; the atrium lobby holds a 15-foot waterfall and full-size dugout canoe, and koi-filled lagoons meander through the property. After dark, torches blaze throughout the grounds, with numerous varieties of bamboo and palm sprouting; during the day, the resident tropical birds chirp away. Guest rooms--in a 13-story building or one of the six two-story buildings--have subdued South Pacific decor, and each has a balcony or patio. High floors of tower rooms have commanding views of the bay, the San Diego skyline, La Jolla, and Point Loma. Studios and suites have the added convenience of kitchenettes. The Catamaran is within walking distance of Pacific Beach's restaurant and nightlife. It's also steps away from the bay's exceptional jogging and biking path; runners with tots-in-tow can rent jogging strollers at the hotel. The resort's Mississippi-style sternwheeler, the Bahia Belle, cruises the bay Friday and Saturday evenings (nightly in summer) and is free to hotel guests.
