Guests will get to explore the trendy neighborhood all around the hotel and check out the oceanfront restaurants, local shops and swimming spots.

Staying at the Diamond Head Inn puts guests in a prime location for living the beach life in San Diego. Excursions and activities like snorkeling, surfing, swimming and kayaking are within walking distance.

Local Tips
Proximity to the Mission Beach and PB
Our oceanfront hotel is in close proximity to the Mission Beach and PB boardwalk. It is also near to downtown San Diego hotspots like the Convention Center.

At the hotel, the atmosphere is friendly and casual. Most guests spend their days on the sand, sunbathing, swimming or surfing on the beach a few steps away. Wake up early in the morning and take a walk on the quiet beach to collect unique seashells and sea glass. Water sports are offered on the beach throughout the day. In the evening, check out the California sun as it sets along the waterfront horizon. Then, make your way back to the hotel for the evening.

The hotel is completely non-smoking and offers guests full kitchens and convenient suites. Every morning, guests can enjoy a complimentary continental breakfast, complete with coffee and tea. Parking is free at the hotel. Laundry services are available at a nearby sister property. Guests who want to go swimming in a pool can access the pool at the hotel's partner property a short distance away.

Visitors to the San Diego area who want sun, sand and fun without the fussiness can get all of that at the Diamond Head Inn. Imagine waking up each morning to the sounds of the Pacific Ocean, the gentle rumble of rolling waves and the cries of the sea birds. This hotel provides this experience in newly renovated suites with comfortable beds, convenient kitchen facilities and a relaxing ambiance.
