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.

If you don’t get a chance to see Phil and Gabriela at the bar pool you are missing out! They are easily the nicest and most accommodating people at the hotel. We loved the rest of the hotel, with its beautiful landscaping and calming atmosphere. They are so family friendly and we have had the best week. But seriously Phil is an Estancia La Jolla Treasure. Gabriela is a saint. Love this place!

The pool bartender, Phil, was amazing. The service was excellent, he was so attentive with the needs of a family at a pool. We had a great time.

This hotel is located in an unexpected location, walking distance to UCSB, perfect if that's where you will be visiting. The most memorable detail is the landscaping throughout the hotel, it makes you feel like you are at a luxury European ranch. We spent a day at poolside and Andrea was the most amazing host, she made sure we had everything we needed and checked on us frequently. There is a bar and food service which is super convenient. I would definitely stay again when in the area.
