Hotel at a Glance: Handlery Hotel San Diego

Nestled in sunny San Diego, California, the Handlery Hotel San Diego is a testament to timeless elegance and warm hospitality. Founded in 1954 by the visionary Harry Handlery, this family-owned hotel has been a favorite retreat for travelers for generations. The Handlery family's dedication to providing a personalized experience shines through, whether you're here for a family vacation, a special event, or a relaxing weekend by the heated outdoor pool.

San Diego, California: Electric Nightlife and Historical Attractions

San Diego's sunny, comfortably warm weather and 70 miles of coastline have long attracted out-of-towners, but the city's inland scene is no slouch, either. The Gaslamp Quarter is arguably the trendiest listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The area forms both the historic center of town and a hub of nightlife, with nearly 100 Victorian-era buildings occupied by high-end boutiques and gourmet restaurants.

A stroll through iconic Balboa Park takes you past 17 museums, as well as the world-famous San Diego Zoo. There's also the vibrant Spanish Village Art Center, a living gallery where local artists produce pottery and oil paintings. In Old Town, shops in Mission-style stucco buildings sell colorful woven baskets and maracas. Nearby stands the Whaley House Museum, dubbed one of the Most Terrifying Places in America by the Travel Channel. Ghosts of former residents are said to inhabit the rooms, which are filled with Victorian furniture and eerie dolls.

Amazing stay - June 6-8th We stayed at **The Handlery Hotel San Diego** for a large family reunion in San Diego and it was the perfect fit for our needs. We had over **20 family members** staying at the hotel, and not a single person had a bad thing to say—which is pretty impressive for a group that size! Yes, the **exterior looks a bit dated**, but don’t let that turn you away. The rooms themselves seem to be either **recently remodeled or in the process of being updated**. Ours was very clean and comfortable, and the **bathroom was spotless**—honestly cleaner than expected. One feature we really appreciated was the **hardwood ceilings**. They added a nice aesthetic touch and, more importantly, helped keep the room quiet. We couldn’t hear a peep from any of the rooms next to us, which made for a peaceful night’s sleep. **Parking was easy and available**, priced at **$24 a night**, which is pretty reasonable for San Diego. We also had **breakfast at the hotel restaurant** and were pleasantly surprised—everything was fresh and delicious. Check in was easy and smooth big shoutout to CJ who is new at the front desk and did amazing job of getting us on the same floor also Latrice for all of her helpful information about the hotel! We will be back

Hidden gem of a hotel This is my favorite hotel. I always book when visiting San Diego. This is my 4th stay Great location, close to everything, very clean, comfortable, great staff, beautiful relaxing pool and hot tub. Very private and low key. Good restaurant and prices on food and drinks. Absolutely best value for your money. Highly recommend.
