About the San Diego meeting venue:

Fusing a dynamic waterfront location, sun and sea-inspired design and casually sophisticated vibe, the Hilton San Diego Bayfront hotel offers an immersion into the essence of the city's unique coastal culture and lifestyle.  For the first time, this hotel opens a front-door to San Diego's vibrant waterfront, providing unparalleled views and direct access to San Diego Bay.

The hotel is across the street from PETCO Park, home of the San Diego Padres baseball team and minutes from the San Diego International Airport (SAN).  It is a short walk from downtown's Gaslamp Quarter, and its many entertainment and recreational amenities as well as world-class shopping and dining.

The waterfront literally laps at the hotel's steps, from a dramatic Bayfront entryway to stunning views from the lobby and the guest rooms.  The main entrance to the hotel is elevated to take advantage of our San Diego hotel's unique orientation along the water.

While in San Diego, be sure to visit the dozens of sightseeing and recreational opportunites:

* Championship golf courses (Torrey Pines, Maderas, Coronado Municipal Golf Course, Salt Creek, Riverwalk)
* Miles of glorious beaches (Coronado, Pacific Beach, Mission Beach, La Jolla Shores)
* The world-famous San Diego Zoo
* Balboa Park
* Sea World
* Seaport Village
* Birch Aquarium
* La Jolla Village
* Legoland®
* San Diego Wild Animal Park
* Tijuana, Mexico
