Not so long ago, downtown San Diego’s streets were populated by a scant number of office towers, few hotels, and shops that closed early during the week. Today, Downtown and its Gaslamp Quarter bustle morning, noon and night. The 2004 premier of Petco Park and myriad condominium high-rises confirm that San Diego’s urban heart is not revitalizing—it is revitalized.
Coronado presents a serene beach alternative to Gaslamp’s urban vibe. Because the highly sought after tourist destination is only a 2.5-mile bridge-assisted drive from Downtown, it is a legitimate option for business travelers.
