"Our goal was to find a hotel close to The Spreckles Theater and convenient to the Santa Fe Train Depot. The Sofia Hotel is a few blocks from the station and just across the street from the theater. What a pleasant surprise!"

Overview

Once a stagecoach company building, the 1920s Sofia Hotel is a member of the Historic Hotels of America. Cute, quiet and fully renovated, the hotel is just blocks from the trendy restaurants and nightlife of the Gaslamp Quarter. It's also two blocks from a trolley stop that takes passengers to Little Italy, Old Town and PETCO Park. The San Diego Zoo and SeaWorld are less than five miles away.

The hotel's updated rooms feature fine bed linens, contemporary decor and free Wi-Fi access. It also has a 24-hour yoga center and an American-style bistro, Currant. The hotel hosts free walking tours of the Gaslamp Quarter on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
