Enjoy a four-night stay at this 4-star resort, the only high-rise on Mission Bay. Consequently, its guest rooms enjoy the best views around, unparalleled sweeps of the bay and ocean.

An 18-story tower serrated with angular balconies dominates this complex fringed with trim tropical gardens and a koi pond. The dark lobby in warm colors offers plenty of fan-cooled seating, an espresso stand and pool views. The restaurant stilted over the bay is an aging place of joined wooden hexagons and cold gray decor.

The big pool is shaped like the state of California, set in a spacious, sunny deck next to a free-form whirlpool large enough for 16 guests at a time. A half-dozen or so traditional palm-topped palapas give the pool area a convincing tropical look. The 24-hour marina-view fitness center is well-equipped for all but the most fervent gym rat. Valid one year from event date.
