How To Celebrate Your 30th Birthday in San Diego – The Westin Gaslamp Quarter

I’m Officially 30!!

Another year around the sun and I am so grateful! It feels so surreal to enter a new decade of my life. I have a feeling my 30s are going to be AMAZING, so I wanted to do something ultra special. I’ve been in California for 5 years, and I still haven’t spent the weekend in San Diego. So I decided on the Westin Gaslamp Quarter. It is in the PERFECT location to all of the hot spots in downtown San Diego. We walked or rode bikes everywhere we went.

The Westin Gaslamp Quarter offers a Destination Amenity Fee for only $25 a day. This pass grants you access to enriching local experiences:

• Hotel Bike Rental for 2

This pass is truly a game changer, and makes your stay that much more special! Which is what we all want to feel on our birthday, right?!

The Westin Gaslamp Quarter Makes You Feel So Special on Your Birthday

I am not exaggerating when I say that the Westin Gaslamp Quarter makes you feel like a QUEEN on your birthday. The hotel staff is telling you happy birthday all weekend. Whether you are in the lobby grabbing a drink, renting bikes, or just calling down to the lobby from your room, they are immediately wishing you a happy birthday! I have never felt so special on my birthday!

I had my birthday dinner at the Bronze Bird, a delicious aesthetically pleasing restaurant in the hotel lobby! There is an outdoor patio with a fire pit, and indoor dining. If you are a craft connoisseur, this is your place! The cocktails were phenomenal. To eat I got the Spiced Cauliflower Bowl and Roasted Jidori Chicken, both were mouthwatering! My favorite was definitely the Spiced Cauliflower Bowl.

Girl time at the Westin Gaslamp Quarter is essential for your birthday!

Sunny Skies & San Diego Vibes

I definitely have a new favorite roof top pool! From the downtown views, to the aesthetically pleasing corners, and the double outdoor shower, the Westin Gaslamp Quarter has it all! The entire roof top area has such a classy vibe, and the decor is on point! The San Diego sunshine really does hit differently. We had the best pool day ever!

I love a hotel that has a full length mirror!

My friends and I did not stop smiling the entire weekend and will definitely be planning a trip back! The hotel staff was extremely accommodating and helpful, the beds feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud, and the cleanest glass door shower with the best shower head. On top of that, the Westin Gaslamp Quarter has the most amazing gym I’ve ever seen in a hotel! They even offer Peloton’s and massage guns. Something I’ve never seen in a hotel gym before. On the garden terrace, there is giant connect four, giant yard pong, and corn hole!
