BEST VIEWS FROM SAN DIEGO HOTELS
- Altitude at the San Diego Marriott Gaslamp-At 22 floors above sea level, it is tops for the highest open-air rooftop bar. This is top of the nest for sure.
- Top of the Hyatt-This has been a favorite of both San Diegans and downtown tourists for a long time. This sky-high perch predates many of the new downtown high-rises.
