The Cosmopolitan Hotel and Restaurant

2660 Calhoun St., San Diego (619) 297-1874 27 map on page 53

Book a reservation with history at this charming, restored 10-room inn, located in Old Town State Historic Park. The building harkens back to 1829, when it was a one-story adobe structure called Casa de Bandini. Four decades later, a wooden second story was added, along with a distinctive wraparound porch, and the Casa became The Cosmopolitan Hotel. A recent multi-million dollar renovation has returned the building to its Victorian aesthetic, with no TVs and rooms filled with antiques or replicas of days gone by. Guests may also enjoy American and Mexican cuisine in the hotel’s quaint dining room or on the outdoor terrace. oldtowncosmopolitan.com
