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 Estancia La Jolla Hotel and Spa was an exceptional place to stay. The rooms were very clean; the grounds and landscaping were beautiful. We loved the location; never had to drive more than 25 minutes to visit any of the San Diego-area sights that we wanted to see, including museums and the Zoo. Staff recommendations were spot on; when we ate at the hotel's restaurants, the food was very good. Our only complaint: the soundproofing between rooms isn't great; we could hear guests talking (even in normal speaking volumes) in rooms on either side of us. After listening to a crying baby all night in another guest's room, the hotel paid for one of our dinners and offered to move us to another room. Staff was always pleasant, friendly and responsive. Highly recommend.

The Estonia La Jolla was a fantastic stay! Our favorite part was the pool. The food and drinks were delicious and the service was exceptional! Phil our server took the best care of us. The room aesthetic was beautiful, the grounds are perfectly maintained and the overall experience was a 10 out of 10.

My family and I had lunch at Estancia and were fortunate to be served by Karina. Despite dining with two children under two, our experience was fantastic. The food arrived quickly, and the buffet was perfect for keeping the kids happy. Karina truly went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. Thank you for a memorable lunch, we’ll definitely be back!
