San Diego, the second largest city in California, is renowned for its idyllic climate, 70 miles of pristine beaches and a dazzling array of world-class family attractions. The city offers an expansive variety of things to see and do, appealing to guests of all ages from around the world. Its casual yet sophisticated attitude creates a come as you are lifestyle. The charm of San Diego is in the diversity of its neighborhoods and communities such as downtown's historic Gaslamp Quarter, Little Italy, Coronado, La Jolla, Del Mar and Carlsbad. Each with their own individual style and history, they come together to form the eclectic mix of art, culture and business that is San Diego.

Historic Gaslamp Quarter
One such community is the historic Gaslamp Quarter with buildings dating back to the late 1800s. This district, originally built to be the main business center of San Diego, has definitely had a checkered past. But, throughout its evolution it has always been championed by forward thinking, talented and dedicated people who believed in San Diego, and poured their hearts into making this district thrive. Even legends like Wyatt Earp were drawn to the Gaslamp Quarter when bars, brothels and gambling were the name of the game.

Today, the Gaslamp Quarter is the country's most talked about urban revitalization project. It is still being championed by dedicated people who have created over 100 of the hottest bars and restaurants in Southern California, and who continue to push the envelope. But don't be fooled. The Gaslamp has never lost its raucous roots and continues to be where life unfolds in San Diego. This rich and rambunctious history and the ideal location in the heart of downtown is what drew the Hard Rock to San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter.
