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.

Kevin, the bartender, was absolutely fabulous. This is a guy who learns your name, remembers it, remembers your order, AND keeps the experience wonderful. Personal service, for me, goes a long way. He's fantastic.

The location was fantastic and the property itself is absolutely beautiful. Phil was amazing and provided quick, attentive service. He made me a perfectly crisp martini that was absolutely spot on. We would 100% come back! Be sure to request Phil as your bartender — he’s great and makes excellent drinks.

Bro, Phil the bartender serves up the best drinks in SoCal. Excellent service, unreal drinks, even better conversation. I can never stay at another hotel unless Phil is serving up the drinks.
