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.

The service was incredible—especially by the pool. The drinks were top-notch, and the staff was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely happy to help. I loved my experience here and can’t wait to come back. Special thanks to the poolside bar staff for making it so memorable!

This is an amazing resort. Phil, the bartender, was so attentive. I loved the peaceful atmosphere, clean pool, and helpful staff. I came here on a work trip, but will definitely return with my family in the future.
