Jon Handlery, third generation owner and president of Handlery Hotels has the same philosophy as his grandfather Harry Handlery, "To have every guest not question why they stayed here, but to question why they didn't stay here before."

Location and Amenities

Splendid palm trees and colorful flowering landscaping surrounds the façade of the Handlery Hotel San Diego. For over half a century, our independent hotel has catered to sophisticated travelers seeking an alternative to the typical chain hotel experience.

Adjacent to the lush, rolling fairways of the Riverwalk Golf Club in San Diego’s Hotel Circle, the Handlery merges contemporary comfort with relaxing, friendly ambiance. As a family owned hotel, we create tailor-made experiences for our guests by offering 217 comfortable, beautifully appointed rooms and suites, a friendly atmosphere and gracious, dedicated staff. For catching up with friends or unwinding with colleagues, Postcards Café & Cocktails offer superb cuisine, cocktails and craft beers in a vibrant setting. The Seasonal Reef Lounge Poolside Bar & Grill serves burgers and local craft beers for guests lounging by our heated outdoor pool. Guests will also enjoy the full range of amenities, from a poolside fitness center and complimentary Wi-Fi to a wide variety of function space accommodating up to 500.

The Handlery Hotel San Diego was built in 1954 by Harry Handlery, and four generations of Handlery family members have welcomed guests to this casually elegant retreat just moments from the best attractions, recreational activities, and nightlife in San Diego.
