We love furry friends too, so our pet-friendly San Diego hotel welcomes your pup.

There’s always something to do at Alma, but when you want to explore wider San Diego, you’ll find we’re close to many attractions like the Bay, Balboa Park, San Diego Zoo, Sea World and much more. We’re a ten-minute car ride from the San Diego International Airport, and just steps away from the chic shops in Little Italy, the walking trails dotting Balboa Park and the latest exhibits at the Museum of Us.

Take our custom-designed PUBLIC bikes down to the harbor to watch the ships and work up an appetite. Back at Alma, any of our local hosts can point you to their favorite secret taco joint or hiking trail to cap off the perfect day by the coast. We’re proud to say that our downtown San Diego hotel is in the heart of it all, surrounded by the best that ‘America’s finest city’ has to offer.
