Located in the charming community of La Jolla, just minutes from Torrey Pines Golf Course and 14 miles north of San Diego, Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa is a stylish retreat reminiscent of an early California ranch estate. The property - listed on Condé Nast Traveler's coveted Gold List and Hot List - pays homage to its rich history by emulating and utilizing materials from the original 1880s equestrian compound. The business center resembles the original caretaker's cottage, the intimate hotel lobby was created from the old farmhouse, and Mustangs & Burros, the hotel's rustic rancho-style bar, was inspired by the tack room. Even the restaurants reflect the old spirit in their design, menu concepts and gracious service.

This was my second time staying at Estancia and I love it! The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. The hotel was at capacity with a wedding as well as a couple of seminars and still it was peaceful. We came to spend spring break with my granddaughter who is at ucsd to have a relaxing spa getaway and spent a week. It was hard to leave! The staff are very friendly, helpful and kind. Stay here.

We booked this resort for a 1 night stay so we can visit UC San Diego (which is conveniently across the street). The property looks beautiful and classy. The moment we arrived we were greeted by the bell services and valet warmly. Check-in was a breeze and they completely honored everything promised by the American Express FHR program (which is how we booked this). The room was clean, well equipped and super comfortable. As a family of 4 we also greatly appreciate how spacious and well designed the double queen room is. We also had breakfast at the Greenfinch restaurant which served amazing food and great service. Overall, we were very pleasantly surprised and highly recommend this resort to anyone.

As always, absolutely perfect stay. Service from valet, to front desk, coffee shop and restaurant was exceptional. They greet us by name and are incredibly kind and polite. This is our 3rd stay and would not stay anywhere else in La Jolla. This time I used the spa as well and had a hot stone massage. Fantastic! Beautiful location and great rooms.

What a beautiful property. Clean grounds, well decorated rooms and all while maintaining the history of the property. Great drinks at the bar and Daniel was excellent. After a day of travel he made the best Carajillo! Super dinner at the onsite restaurant. Very comfy bed led to a great nights sleep. Great location to explore the area. Then one full day at the cabana with the pool. Andrea, Eddie, Nate and our favorite Daniel all made this an amazing wrap to a wonderful long weekend away. Highly recommend! The service was outstanding.
