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 hotel is severely overpriced for the quality of stay. We booked two rooms for our family, and both had a strong, musty smell coming from the carpets. To make matters worse, when we walked into our room, we found used dental floss left in the toilet and had to call housekeeping just to get it cleaned. When I brought these issues to the front desk, they completely brushed it off and did absolutely nothing. Save your money and stay elsewhere.

An oasis that carries one back in time to old world luxury and charm. The gardens are exquisite and the entire staff was professional, accommodating, and friendly.

Beautiful hotel and wonderful location. I do believe there are better options for the price. For $600 a night I expect at least a view or a balcony, we had neither. The staff also seemed overwhelmed and service at restaurants was very slow.

Excellent facilities, room, restaurants and ambience, the only negative being the noise of the air conditioning, which could wake the dead.

I’ve stayed here before and I would love to come back again. The grounds are stunning. The pool area is beautiful and the rooms are nice.
