If you've ever stayed at a Kimpton property before, you know how cool and "boutiquish" they can be. Solamar is no different, except it is a "new construction" hotel, whereas most Kimptons are a renovaiton of some cool building. In a nutshell, the hotel is great. Here, however, are some tips if you so chose to stay: Parking at $35... more

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights and we wish it had been more. We were upgraded to fantastic room with a jacuzzi tub. The hotel is clean, the staff are friendly and very helpful and it's perfectly located for walking to the shopping centre and restaurants and the zoo and airport are a short cab ride away.... more

I stayed at the Hotel Solamar for two nights. The pool area has a great night scene and the restaurant is fantastic. The rooms are good with comfy beds and free wi-fi for Kimpton In Touch members. You have a great view of Petco Field and can even see into parts of the Park from your room. And you can't... more

We decided to celebrate our 6th yr wedding anniversary with a nice hotel downtown and were happy with a Kimpton hotel that we stayed at in San Fran. Hotel Solamar -Bar and pool area: Crowded but nice people-watching spot. Modern furniture. Small pool but good enough to dip your legs in and close enough to meet someone new. -Wine happy... more

The pool, which gets all the hype, is neat. Very lounge like with big screen TV's and nice ambience....but the rest of the hotel needs a serious upgrade in management. I honestly can't say I have ever seen dirty carpet to this extreme in any hotel. Large dust bunnies in the recessed areas at the entrance of most doorways, less... more

We are truly sorry that your stay at the Solamar didn't meet your expectations. The pool area (Lounge Six) went through a spring 2009 refresh so we are glad you enjoyed that area. The Hallway carpets a scheduled to be refreshed early in 2010 which should make us sparkle again as we continue to invest in our dynamic hotel. Thanks...

After lots of research, we stayed at Hotel Solamar and loved it. The hotel is in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter and within walking distance to all the restaurants, Petco Stadium, the convention center, etc. It is very elegant and contemporary. The rooms were very roomy and well equipped. It was very child friendly. The staff was extremely pleasant.... more

Fantastic!!!

My husband and I stayed here for 8 days at the end of September and it's difficult to find fault with this hotel so we can't wait to go back and stay there again. It's clean, the staff are friendly and informative - knowing just the restaurant for whatever you fancied to eat, it's perfectly located for walking to the... more

We stayed here after reading reviews on Tripadvisor. And we are glad we did. The hotel was ideally located as my husband was attending a convention at the Convention centre. It was only about a 5 minute walk to here. The Gaslamp restaurant precinct was only 2 minutes away and the most recommended restaurants were only a short walk from... more
