Fodor's Expert Review Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

Primarily a draw for business travelers, this hotel between Seaport Village and the convention center also works well for leisure and family travelers. All rooms have water views, modern furnishings, and windows that open to the coastal breeze. Two pools, several sports courts for basketball, tennis, and volleyball, a Marilyn Monroe spa, a 24-hour market, and seven restaurants and bars mean you don't have to leave the hotel. But, if you do leave, the trolley station is one block away, and the Gaslamp's clubs and restaurants are within walking distance. Sally's Fish House & Bar offers locally sourced seafood and has a picture-perfect patio on the waterfront while Redfield's Sports Bar is a great spot to sip San Diego's craft beer.

Be sure to catch at least one sunset from the Top of the Hyatt bar on the 40th-floor.
