San Diego Convention Center Hotel | Conventions and Events

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego is located just steps from the San Diego Convention Center, right at the entrance to the famed Gaslamp Quarter. More than half of our guests each year are in town for conventions or in-house meetings and we know how to deliver authentic experiences that rock to each and every one of them, and hopefully you. Besides the staples that make business travel better including WiFi access, 24-hour business and fitness centers, convenient in-room dining and plush bedding, Hard Rock offers enhanced perks like mouth-watering comfort food at Maryjane's, world-class sushi at Nobu, happy hours and nightlife at 207 and Float, plus stress-melting massages and beauty treatments at Rock Spa.

Best of all, we offer special rates for convention center event attendees. To find out what we’re offering for your next event, check availability below (promo code: CONVENTION).
