Overview

The Swimming Pool at the Hilton San Diego Airport Harbor IslandBeautiful Decorations at the Hilton San Diego Airport Harbor Island

Located on scenic Harbor Island across the water from the San Diego Airport, the Hilton San Diego Airport/Harbor Island is a comfortable, convenient and enjoyable place to stay. Whether visiting for business, pleasure or just an overnight layover, guests will be glad they chose this hotel for their accommodations.

Despite the name, Harbor Island is not a true island. Instead, it is a peninsula connected to the mainland by a thin strip of land. This makes getting to and from the hotel and island very easy. The airport is less than a mile away and the hotel offers a free shuttle service there for guests’ convenience.

There is a marina located right outside the hotel’s front doors. The hotel offers sailboat rental also. For guests who want to enjoy the harbor without going out on the water, many of the hotel’s rooms and common areas look out over the scenic waterfront.
