MEETINGS & EVENTS
Hotel Solamar Knows the Art of a Successful Event
The Hotel Solamar is not your typical meeting hotel. We don't do beige. Instead, we do art supplies on the tables during your meetings upon request to bring out what "art lies within." We do salt water taffy instead of wrapped peppermints. We do WiFi high-speed wireless Internet access.
We feature over 9,000 square feet of high-tech, visually exciting function space that can be completely customized to accommodate your event. Our meeting space includes a 3,400 square foot ballroom with windows that can be divided into three, as well as three other meeting spaces and a boardroom that can comfortably seat groups from 12 to 350 (and we mean comfortably, not squeezed).
In addition, our 13,000 square foot pool deck at Jbar offers 3,800 square feet of outdoor reception or banquet space. Just imagine sipping Champagne with 200 of your closest friends and family as you gaze out over Petco Park and downtown San Diego.

DINING
Hotel Solamar Features Two Dining Destinations
Located on the corner of 6th and J Streets between downtown San Diego's Ballpark District and the historic Gaslamp Quarter, Jsix Restaurant and Jbar are sought-after destinations for locals and visitors.
Adjacent to Hotel Solamar, Jsix Restaurant is a bustling gathering place, perfect for meeting friends for dinner, sharing a glass of wine and an appetizer, or delighting in an enjoyable dinner for two.
Chef Deborah Schneider's menu features Coastal California cuisine, showcasing fresh, innovative, seasonal foods inspired by the region's 2000 miles of Baja coastline, area farms and wines from Washington to Baja California. A perfect complement to her exciting menu, the dining room, designed by Puccini Restaurant Group in San Francisco, offers an exotic, sensual ambiance, blending different cultural influences, mirroring the diversity of the area.
Jbar , located on the 4th floor rooftop deck of the hotel, is a tropical, urban oasis overlooking downtown San Diego and the bay. Guests can spend days basking in the San Diego Sun or evenings reveling in the high-energy youthful scene. With 225 seats surrounding the expansive pool and cabana bordered patio, it's a perfect place to sip signature cocktails and nibble on a menu of light, shareable dishes. Jbar reflects San Diego's diverse personality with bright, electric hues of blue, purple and red surrounding a large, lap-style pool. The marriage of fire and water creates an electrifying mood with flickering pool lanterns and fire pits reflecting off the pool, surrounded by colorfully up-lit palm trees.
