The Top 4 Hotels in La Jolla
-
A sprawling ten-acre former equestrian estate in La Jolla, wrapped in Spanish colonial buildings and native gardens, now houses spacious guest rooms and a Moroccan-inspired spa. The heated saltwater pool and three dining venues occupy grounds that retain the unhurried character of their 1880s origins.
-
A new hotel built to resemble a 1920s Arts and Crafts mansion, all tongue-and-groove woodwork and Stickley furnishings, sits on a Torrey Pines cliff above the Pacific. Guests wake to golf course views and guaranteed tee times at an adjacent championship layout, the location's quiet trump card.
-
Orli occupies a restored Irving Gill home in La Jolla's village center, its spare rooms and curated library inviting guests to inhabit the space as their own. The contactless service and olive-shaded courtyard suggest less a restaurant than a thoughtfully appointed refuge where drinking and reading unfold at your own pace.
-
A 1913 hotel in La Jolla that has absorbed a century of polish without losing its old-world composure, the Grande Colonial sits on Prospect Street as the town transformed around it. Each renovation layered refinement onto its European bones, creating something that feels both timeless and thoroughly present.
