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.

We had our wedding at Estancia and it was truly a dream come true. Molly, Debbie, and the rest of the team were incredible and went above and beyond to cater to us and make sure our big day was everything we wanted. We worked with Debbie Au Burlock to secure the venue date and pricing and she was very professional and considerate of our budget and wedding desires. There were some struggles with the room block pricing and overall room block management but Debbie eventually remedied the situation. Molly Lawler was so easy and pleasant to work with in regards to all the wedding planning details and coordination. The team even offered to take care of our seating chart sign which was a MASSIVE help and relief to us on the day after our wedding day. All of our guests and family could not stop raving about their experience at Estancia and we completely agree. We are so grateful to everyone at Estancia - the front desk staff, cleaning / valet staff, event planning / coordination staff, kitchen/bar staff, and so many others that I'm sure I am forgetting. I HIGHLY recommend the Estancia to anyone planning a special event, relaxing weekend, or long vacation, you truly will not be disappointed. Thank you all and we can't wait to come back!

I used to go to the Estancia when I visited San Diego for business and now that I’m retired I wanted to share my previous experience with my wife. I was not disappointed. The same luxurious accommodations still exist. This time I had more to enjoy the amenities. The staff and food were exceptional. Treat yourself with a stay at the Estancia.

Loved this property - it was truly an experience to stay here. It felt warm, cozy and luxurious all at once. From the welcoming lobby to the courtyards to the well-appointed rooms, you will feel relaxed and refreshed staying here.
