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.

Estancia is the perfect location for relaxing or hiking the beautiful Torrey Pines and La Jolla Coast. The staff is incredible here from the moment you drive up.

The entire hotel was such a treat to be at for a conference that I attended. The food that was served was amazing. The conference rooms were completely soundproof, and the staff they were genuinely so helpful and kind. But above all, I’m so glad that I came across the pool here- which I normally wouldn’t visit on business but figured since we’re in San Diego why not? The bartenders there, specifically Phil, were top-notch with their service, pace, and attention to detail with garnishes and remembering our drinks that we liked over a few days. I definitely hope that we have more conferences here.

We had such an amazing experience at Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa. The environment is beautiful and relaxing, making it the perfect place for both a business retreat and a personal getaway. The food throughout our retreat was incredible, the pool atmosphere was perfect and the overall service was exceptional. A special shoutout to Phil at the pool bar for being so kind, welcoming and giving amazing recommendations. We also loved the café and all the cute little features around the property that really elevated the experience. Overall, we absolutely loved our stay and would definitely come back.

Phil the bartender is amazing. He made me feel so welcome, the music and vibe are so super chill. I came a few weeks back from brunch chilaquiles was incredible and promised myself I’d come back to the bar because it is so beautiful. I will definitely be back for another breakfast or rye old fashioned. They also do mocktails and fancy elixirs!
