The Westgate Hotel in San Diego

Where the College will hold its 27^th Annual CE meeting

The timeless and classically elegant Westgate Hotel is located in the heart of the vibrant downtown shopping, entertainment, and historic Gaslamp Quarter district.

The Westgate is within short walking distance of many excellent restaurants, and close to Balboa Park with its many museums and the San Diego Zoo, Seaport Village, Sea World and the beautiful beaches north of San Diego.

The Westgate Hotel has been awarded the AAA Four Diamond Award for the past three years. The hotel was named to the 2008 Travel & Leisure 500, the 500 best resorts and hotels in the world. The lobby, meeting rooms, and intimate dining areas showcase eighteenth-century antiques, Baccarat crystal chandeliers, French tapestries, Persian carpets, and one of the first five Steinway pianos made. The hotel's French restaurant, Le Fontainebleau, received San Diego Magazine's 2007 Best Restaurant Award, and the Plaza Bar was voted San Diego's Best Piano Bar by San Diego Magazine. The hotel even has its own gourmet delicatessen. The guestrooms are said to be the largest in downtown San Diego.
