Carlton Oaks Lodge, Ascend Hotel Collection

Romance, music and a dash of history all prove to be the ingredients of the perfect romantic evening when you visit Gaslamp Quarter. Aside from being an obviously hip, lively collection of restaurants, clubs and bars that are part of the district's top-drawer nightlife, it's also a great vantage point to do some fun people-watching.

The Lyceum Theater prides itself in being a state-of-the-art, popular venue for unusual and striking arts presentations that span every imaginable style, approach and genre.

The venue boasts three stages which include the medium-sized Space Theatre, the larger Stage Theatre and the small Underground Stage that all offer different types of productions and presentations. There's always appealing entertainment on the performance schedule, so check often and get your tickets to see any of the great shows coming to the Lyceum.

Views of downtown San Diego from RoofTop600 at Andaz are incredible with a retractable roof providing shade from the sun and shelter you can find a club-like atmosphere of guest DJs, dancing, and bottle service under the stars.
