About the Hotel
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.

Reviews for Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa
cozy and well maintained hotel
We took our family to Estancia La Jolla on December 2025 to see the La Jolla area and visit some friends in this area. Estancia Hotel met and exceed my expectation on both the hotel facilities and staff services. The Director of Customer Services, Kai Hope was very helpful on many of our needs and questions. The restaurants hours were a little short since we arrived around 2:40pm and we missed the closing time by 10 minutes but luckily we were able to get some food from the bar. We will be back next time when we are in San Diego area.

Badluck with room but overall good experience
Pros: location, close to the black beach and viewing point. Service is quite good and food is enjoyable. I also liked the atmosphere and pet policy of the resort. Cons: the room itself. I got a kingbed garden view room, but the room they gave us is a accessibility one so there's really little sitting space even for two people. Plus the windows cannot be open or closed normally.

Nice place in La Jolla
Our family of 5 had 2 adjoining rooms for a 3 night stay in December to hike around the area. The hotel was clean and quiet with updated bathrooms and comfortable beds. Our rooms were close to the gym which was great for early morning workouts. I would recommend this hotel.

Disorganized service, confusion on timings, closed amenities, no accountability. Do not recommend at all!
We booked Estancia La Jolla as an Amex FHR staycation for New Year’s Eve, our first trip with our 4-month-old. The experience was frustrating from start to finish. Front desk staff provided inconsistent and incorrect information and didn’t seem to know basic amenity hours. We were sent to a restaurant that was closed, quoted prices for dining that couldn’t actually be booked, and never informed that NYE bar service would end early. The hotel text line went unanswered overnight, and room service ignored a clearly noted dairy allergy. There was no accountability or effort to fix issues as they came up. The property markets itself as luxury, but the service execution doesn’t come close.

Not as expected
1. AC extremely loud. Woke us up every time it turns on. Had a bad sleep 2. The pedant light is so low and it hit us multiple times 3. Breakfast wait time 1 hour. Never had this issue at any other hotels
