The Bar/Lounge at Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

"Among locals, the hotel is most well known for its 207 nightclub and Float—a poolside bar where skimpy bikinis and board shorts rule"

"The 420-room Hard Rock, located in the hip Gaslamp Quarter, hosts wild parties on weekends at its popular rooftop pool and bar"

"San Diego's twelve-story outpost is no exception with 420 guest rooms (including luxury studios, three-room suites and seventeen loft-like penthouses); a full-service spa with massages, facials and a fitness center; and high-end dining and entertainment options like the famed Nobu sushi restaurant, 207 Nightclub and Float Pool Bar featuring private cabanas"

"It's "always a party" at this "fun", "modern" hotel within "walking distance" of the Gaslamp District offering "flashy yet classy" rooms that are "great for entertaining" (guitars or DJ equipment available on request) and are "soundproofed fairly well" (but can still "get kind of noisy"); "exceptional" staffers provide "killer" – if sometimes "pretentious" – service, and guests can dine at Nobu, enjoy the "eye candy" at the rooftop pool/bar or head to the spa to escape the "constant barrage of music"

"Enjoy dinner at the on-site sushi spot, Nobu, and then head to 207, a sultry lounge off the lobby, or up to Float, the club complex on the roof"

"Back down on the ground floor, the lounge, 207, provides a touch of Goth glamour, with spidery patterned fabrics and contrasting red-and-black decor"
