The Gaslamp Quarter
Attractions
Our property is situated just across from the famous Gaslamp Quarter sign, a historic gem in San Diego with roots tracing back to the 1860s. Once adorned with gas lamps, this district was a bustling center of commerce, featuring saloons and theaters catering to the growing community. In the late 20th century, a dedicated preservation effort revitalized the area, restoring its Victorian-era charm. Today, our mission is to implement the rich history of the Gaslamp Quarter while adding to its vibrant nightlife, diverse dining options, and a cultural atmosphere that seamlessly blends the past with the present.
