When travelling to San Diego, Balboa Park inns are a popular choice for those who wish to explore the city in style. Nestled in one of the most dynamic corners of the city, these inns provide all the conveniences of city life while still preserving an intimate, personalized hotel atmosphere. They are the best way to stay close to the action while still feeling like you are at home.
Among San Diego's many fine city offerings, Balboa Park reigns supreme. Known as America's largest "urban park," the area dates back to the 1800s, when 1400 acres of land were designated as city park space. Initially, the area was characterized by lush, distinctive plant life, much of it the handiwork of famed horticulturist Karen Sessions. However, it was not long before it was graced with roads and Spanish Colonial-style buildings, and the Park became a center for civic life in the Southland.
Today, Balboa Park is a thriving area and one of San Diego's most popular attractions. Boasting abundant cultural and recreational offerings, the Park is home to museums, art galleries, and botanical gardens. There is also the San Diego Zoo, which continues to delight visitors young and old with its collection of creatures from all corners of the globe. Another nearby destination is the Old Globe Theater, offering world-class performances year-round.
