  • Steps from hundreds of restaurants, bars and nightlife options.
  • Short drives or trolley rides to bayfront attractions, museums and the airport.

Choose Omni if you want to be in the center of San Diego activity and close to game-day and convention venues.

Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa – Location

Rancho Valencia is in Rancho Santa Fe, roughly a 25-mile drive from downtown San Diego.

  • Located in the suburbs with resort grounds and private patios for rooms.
  • About a 15–20 minute drive to Del Mar beaches and racetrack (distances in supplier listing).
  • Preferred airport listed as San Diego Intl. Airport (SAN) for guests flying in.

Choose Rancho Valencia for a quieter, countryside resort setting removed from downtown bustle.

Rooms: downtown rooms & suites vs individually decorated casitas

Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark – Rooms

Omni offers 511 rooms and suites across 21 floors with city and bay views.

Dining & drinks: rooftop pool energy vs resort-focused dining

Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark – Dining & drinks

  • Two restaurants on property and a bar/lounge; local-cuisine breakfasts run daily (fee applies).

Pools & outdoors: rooftop terrace pool vs multiple resort pools and courts

Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark – Pools & outdoors

  • Heated pool and hot tub open daily from 5 AM to 10 PM.
