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 is not a hotel, it is a heavenly getaway! The grounds are so lovely with all the beautiful lawns and gardens, the atmosphere is quiet and relaxing and the staff are friendly and efficient. I love having a table and padded corner bench seating in the room - so helpful for quick meals and work. Everything was clean and refreshed daily.

I was recently there for a wedding and it was perfect. The rooms are well appointed, the staff really friendly and the resort grounds are so unique and beautiful. I loved the cafe where you could grab a quick coffee and bite to eat and go enjoy the day. It is close to the San Diego airport and other things too. I highly recommend this property for a wonderful stay.

Gorgeous hotel with an upscale ranch vibe. Incredible service with attentive and friendly staff. Large room bathrooms. The closet is lit has a full mirror and robes/slippers! Restaurants are delicious. Ballroom was beautiful and perfect for an event

Scheduled our annual board retreat at Estancia. Every single staff at Estancia is focused on providing an over the top customer service experience. My board members loved the venue and the location which is in proximity to the La Jolla Cove and shopping area. Rooms are recently renovated (2024) and are very clean and comfortable and new looking. You would expect to pay much more for a resort of this quality. The environment is very calm, peaceful and relaxing. After the board retreat I stayed two additional days for a mini-vacation and thoroughly enjoyed my time there.
