Hotel Republic San Diego: Review & Booking Advice

Hotel Republic San Diego is part of the Autograph Collection, Marriott’s portfolio of over 125 one-of-a-kind properties worldwide.

The boutique hotel’s goal is to immerse guests in the best of San Diego through insider experiences, a “chic beach house meets private yacht club” design, and a partnership with one of San Diego’s premier restaurant groups. It’s popular with those who want a nice, reasonably-priced spot downtown.

In this review, you’ll learn that I have some perks there that you may want to take advantage of.

Locally-Inspired Dining

Three dining options provide all-day dining via quick-service and full-service dining, eliminating the need to look for easy eats outside of the hotel. Or, opt for in-room dining. Note: In-room dining is temporarily unavailable.

Topside Terrace Kitchen & Bar

Dine alfresco on the third-floor terrace and lounge. This is where the popular weekend brunch (and yoga classes prior to it) happen in addition to happy hour.

Banquettes lining the perimeter and a cozy firepit reflect the laid-back San Diego vibe.

Trade

The lobby bar is a 57-seat restaurant and cocktail bar called Trade, which offers lunch, happy hour and dinner. The menu focuses on seafood sourced from the Pacific and Sea of Cortez and uses ingredients from local farms.

The Patio Marketplace

Quick-service coffee and healthy dining options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner include bowls, sandwiches, plates, kombucha, craft beer and wines by the glass for those on the move. To-go, prepackaged items are available, too, and guests can also opt for full-service dining as seating is available for up to 46 people.

Fitness

Every room has a Hotel Republic yoga mat for in-room practice or the Saturday morning yoga class on the terrace.

A fitness center with the latest weights and cardio equipment stays open around-the-clock. Pick up a map from the front desk that outlines both 2- and 5-mile runs along the bay or grab a bike rental to head out on the town.
