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.

Location was nice, service was hospitable, and atmosphere was pleasant. Wife and I were doing a long weekend trip and decided to stay here to enjoy a staycation. Really enjoyed the vibes here and as people who enjoy great cocktails they had a very good cocktail selection. Drinks were well balanced and the bartenders knew what they were doing. We were helped by Phil, one of the bartenders there and he was super hospitable and helpful considering we were lugging around an infant. Pleasant to talk to, friendly and courteous with a solid cocktail menu, we were very happy with our experience.

Absolutely lovely spa! We were staying at another nearby hotel and had a marvelous spa day pass experience here. Men’s, women’s and shared treatment areas were perfect. Access to the hotel swimming pool was included, and there is even a large saltwater whirlpool there. Next time in La Jolla we’ll stay at The Estancia to enjoy the beautiful lush gardens.

Rooms tastefully decorated. Grounds lovely and enjoyable for strolls. Staff well trained for resort level services. Non alcohol drinks nice addition. Live music very good. Overall feel of resort and layout enjoyable and relaxing. No direct access to beach but short distance away. Walk to great bar and food while watching paragliding and looking over cliffs to ocean. Photos on website are accurate.
