If you\u2019re searching for a weekend getaway, San Diego<\/strong> packs a big vacation punch. Thanks to a range of public transportation options, it\u2019s an excellent choice if you\u2019re considering a car-free getaway.<\/p>\n

I spent a recent weekend luxuriating at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront<\/a>. If you think big brand hotels are all cookie cutter, prepare to have your mind changed.<\/p>\n

This sleek property is a trendsetter when it comes to incorporating indigenous elements into its ethos and esthetics. Guests dine on wild edibles and produce sourced from nearby farms, sip San Diego County craft beer and view a rotating exhibit of artwork created by talented locals.<\/p>\n

The Hilton Bayfront has one of the largest heated salt-water pools in the state. It\u2019s whimsically shaped like an anchor, a nod to this city\u2019s nautical heritage. Indulge poolside with savory small bites paired with a Moscow Mule, the bar\u2019s signature cocktail, and plunge in.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re properly refreshed, walk five minutes and you\u2019ll find yourself in the center of San Diego\u2019s famed Gaslamp Quarter. This pedestrian paradise is a cosmopolitan culinary haven, nightlife hotspot and shopper\u2019s delight. Baseball fans rejoice, as the San Diego Padre\u2019s home stadium, Petco Park<\/a>, is conveniently situated here.<\/p>\n

When hunger strikes, head to Cucina Urbana<\/a>, just a stone\u2019s throw from Balboa Park<\/a>, San Diego\u2019s urban oasis. Cucina Urbana\u2019s design evokes a modern Italian kitchen combined with the history and comfort of a rustic country farm. The menu offers a selection of ingredients sourced from nearby farms that seamlessly weaves California with Italia<\/i>, creating a delicious tapestry. Pasta dishes shine, pizzas are top-notch and fresh sea creatures are delectable. The comprehensive wine list includes biodynamic bottles from small-production wineries. A broad selection of clever cocktails and microbrews should please every palate.<\/p>\n
