The Pearl Hotel in San Diego features the amazing "Dive-In Theatre," home to a free weekly "cinema social" combining eclectic film choices, food and drink and light conversation. Steeped in mid-century design, the Dive-In takes place at the hotel's poolside lounge and theater located outdoors. Films are projected onto a 10' x 13' foot projection screen with full sound, overlooking the hotel's vintage, oyster-shaped swimming pool. Guests are invited to enjoy a range of classics, blockbusters, foreign and independent features from The Pearl's private library.
