L'Auberge Del Mar

The amenities were mediocre. We got overcharged for several things and when we call to review the bill the agent was condescending and not helpful. I am not recommending this hotel. Bad experience!

Hands down, the best team ever. I surprised my now-fiancée with a pre-planned proposal in the lobby by the fireplace, and the experience was absolutely flawless. We want to personally thank Christophe for his incredible energy and willingness to work with us to decorate an entire corner near the bar for such a special moment. From the warm welcome to accommodating our violinist and videographer, and arranging a champagne toast, everything was handled with care and professionalism. With 30 family members and friends present, it was truly a moment we will never forget. A big thank you as well to the staff and bartenders for helping make the evening so memorable. This is a beautiful hotel with outstanding amenities, including outdoor spaces with stunning views, the bar, and of course Adelaide, their wonderful restaurant. Five stars. Highly recommended.

Amazing service! We went for our three year anniversary this past weekend, and there was champagne in our room waiting. At dinner, we were given an anniversary card by the staff. The service, food, and atmosphere were 5-star. In the lobby they have a live singer, and the views are spectacular. The hotel is walking distance to the sand/ocean, as well as walking distance to many other fun activities. If you are visiting Del Mar, L’Auberge is a must.

Location is good. Property a little tired. Resort fee and valet fee way too high - adds $120 per day but I wasn’t informed of an alternative to park and don’t see why the $55 per day fee is charged. Rooms are fine. Beds comfortable. Valet team excellent.

If you want to experience the art of escapism, look to L'Auberge. L’Auberge Del Mar is coastal elegance done right. From the moment you arrive, it feels less like a hotel and more like a perfectly curated escape. The ocean views steal the show, but the details keep you hooked—thoughtful service, beautifully designed spaces, and an atmosphere that manages to be both relaxed and refined. Whether you’re sipping coffee with a sea breeze in the morning or unwinding as the sun sets over the Pacific, everything feels intentional and effortless. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down, breathe deeper, and start planning your return before you’ve even checked out. Christopher Maranto, the manager, was exceptional, and moved mountains to ensure our stay was extraordinary. The hotel is steps away from the beach, and the sunsets were sensational.
