During spring break in San Diego, the sea and the city run the show. Here, someone orders a cortado before a surf check and the days stretch long enough to hold a museum, a long lunch, and sunset drinks by the water. 

 

But first, your most important decision: where to stay in downtown San Diego. 

 

That’s where Carté Hotel comes in. Tucked into Little Italy, one of the most walkable San Diego neighborhoods, Carté places many of the top downtown San Diego attractions within blocks: coffee, dinner, cocktails, museums, and the bay. Your San Diego spring break itinerary begins the moment you drop your bags. Patio tables fill along India Street. Neighbors walk their dogs toward the tug of the waterfront. 

 

Just step outside, and let the neighborhood take care of the rest.
