San Diego | Hard Rock Hotel

Start practicing your panty-dodging skills now! Because you're about to feel like a rock star,, whether it's only for a long weekend or an extended vacation. Hard Rock Hotel San Diego takes that concept to heart from the moment you walk into the lobby and hear the first chorus to a favorite song from legends ranging from the Rolling Stones to Madonna. And just like its famous restaurants, memorabilia adorns nearly every square inch. But the experience only gets better at check-in, where you can select the type of music you want playing in your room, as well as whether you'd like to have a Fender Guitar or Crosley turntable and vinyl collection delivered to your room. Just remember, it takes practice before people start throwing their underwear at you onstage. 

Though this isn't an adults-only property, most parents realize the vibe here isn't really for children, so you're not likely to see too many, if at all. But even if they do show up, there are places within the hotel to escape and find a little zen. With a beat you can dance to. ​- Steven Lindsey

5 Reasons to Visit Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

Sunburn pool parties
Every Saturday during pool season,  Float rooftop pool and bar turns into a 21-and-over hot spot (and not just because of the warm California sun). The best music and sexiest people combine for one of the most glam pool parties in town, even without upgrading to the exclusive VIP experience. Adult hotel guests gain free access.

Rock Spa
The full-service spa is a 21+ oasis of pleasures for the mind, body and spirit. Escape to the private men's or  women's changing rooms for a luxurious steam before getting the star treatment in the form of a stress-melting massage, a rejuvenating facial, or an exfoliating scrub for radiant skin all over your body.

207 Bar
A baby in a bar? Don't worry, you won't find it here at this adults-only haven. Hotel guests get VIP access for two to this lively nightspot where you'll discover a massive selection of premium tequilas, scotches, cognacs, vodkas, and wines for your tippling enjoyment. Happy hour Monday to Friday runs from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. with kick-ass specials on food and drink.

Rock Star Suites
What better place to escape the kiddos than one of the hotel's 17 custom-designed, super deluxe suites with lofty inspiration. Separate living rooms with complete entertainment systems, private terraces and access to the Rock Royalty lounge will make you understand the intoxicating allure of fame.

Nobu
Only world-class cities enjoy the benefit of having one of Nobu Matsuhisa's famous restaurants. San Diego is one such lucky burg, but guests of the Hard Rock need only walk downstairs to access some of the best sushi and Japanese cuisine on the planet.
